America's struggling wine industry is getting crushed by global tariffs and Canada's retaliation to them

Even if the tariffs were to be reversed tomorrow, one wine business leader said, it would take "at least a year, if not longer, for my industry to recover.”

“Canada is the single most important export market for U.S. wines with retail sales in excess of $1.1 billion annually,” Robert Koch, the California Wine Institute’s president and CEO, said in a statement.

This right here is why Congress is supposed to have these powers and shouldn’t be raising their hands and refusing to vote on the continued national emergency driving this ridiculous shit.

It should not be possible for two idiots to ambush the President when the grown ups leave him alone to crash the economy.

Trump and team should have done a better job of communication that tariffs were just a part of the issue that needed to be corrected globally to ensure more balanced trade.

These types of concessions will happen with all countries but unique to each sector.

I don’t care enough about American car-makers getting into the Japanese auto market to pay more for all the goods we essentially have no choice but to import from somewhere and don’t understand why they must be linked as we’ve chosen to do.

Of course you don't care - Doesn't mean that this doesn't actually impact America and a subset of Americans.

And this is jsut one concession with one country - In one segment.

Chinese manufaturing can be replaced and spread around the world.

Adding environmental protection to the list of things MAGA suddenly cares when attached to sneaky taxes.

I’d actually like to gut ours to help our global competitiveness.

But China is a bad actor and the “cheap goods” people ignore that stupidly.

If we gut our protections to do the same shit, we’re not better? I’m so confused.

We will always be better than a communist regime. America will always do things better.

America is a location, man. No man or nation is any better or worse than the sum of their actions.

Great encapsulation of your worldview. I’m not shocked.

Actually I’m rather unashamed of believing that a country’s actions are not more or less justifiable because of its past actions.
