It’s usually to promote business investments in their state as opposed to general trade. There are plenty of governors that do that from both political parties.
The governor of my state just went to the UAE recently to do that, and has done several other trips as well over the years. https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/news/press-releases/2024/11/25/gov-whitmer-to-meet-with-business-leaders-and-foreign-officials-in-spain
The thing that makes me hesitant about a freeze is losing the code somehow. Not sure what to do if that happens.
Don’t tell me what to do you… You jerkface! Yeah! How do you like that!?
I know that was devastating. You’re devastated right now. Sorry.

Wait, femcels are a legit thing? I thought that Lemmy meme group was just a joke.
The keyword in the song is this “toss” for a reason.
Phones in 2035 be like:

I imagine the list of things they can do will shrink more and more.

It’s a retaliatory tactic. If the US is reducing the incentive to do trade with Mexico, why should Mexico continue to allow trade with the US without penalty?
The US isn’t in the same economic position as it was 10-20 years ago, and countries have seen the crappy tactics Trump used last time he was in office. I’m sure they’re more willing to respond in kind or even cut ties this time if their relationships becomes more abusive.
Well, I’ve never lost respect for someone that fast. I get wanting to further humanity’s reach in space, but if Trump gets elected, I don’t see many of us getting off this rock.
Does this mean fewer duplicate white label items?
The best they can do is probably close their Canadian/Mexican plants if the losses are too great, which would increase unemployment in those areas for not only the automotive factories, but also the ones for the automotive suppliers. Even if a Chinese company swoops in to buy the factories, it’d take time to set things up.
