The penguins are shown discussing the tariffs - they’re not sure how to react yet.
PING!...............
So if the island doesn’t actually export anything to us, does a tariff matter?
Don’t care. Still backing Trump.
(Part of…) The real reason why we are drowning in debt and suffering lowering living standards are these crazy expensive entitlement programs. in other words out of control spending.
It will hurt to cut those back, perhaps his idea is to build up the economy first by these tariffs then cut when we have plenty of good paying jobs?
I hope it works because we are toast in the mid-terms if these tariffs cause an economic downturn.
Sometimes nature’s a lot cuter than we are.
A large part of the penguin population there are of the flying variety. I use them for shipping, much like Amazon uses drones. Sometimes they insist on stopping at home before continuing to the final delivery destination. Inconvenient, and not the best business model, but it's the only way I can get them to work for me and they work cheap. Will have to reconsider now.
If you don't think penguins can fly, think again. See vid at link.
Surely the president of the Penguins will respond reciprocally.
well, if those birds have been dumping (maybe shipping USA too much guano?) then protective tariffs are definitely in order!
Actually, this is not stupid.
If they were left out of the deal, I am sure, some entrepreneuring entity would set up an operation on those islands and use them to export to USA tariff free!
My.uber-lib sister posted something on FB about “No tariffs for penguins!!!”
I thought she was trying to be funny. Turns out she wasn’t.
Oh, well.
