  • The most logical take is that this was an error committed by some employee. This is an administration is staffed with incompetence.

    My more conspiratorial take is that this was done to muddy the waters for lay people. Judges, lawyers, legal and constitutional scholars would know that the missing sections still apply. The general public? That’s a different story. The general public doesn’t know what needs to be amend the Constitution nor what is contained in it.

    The average person will go to an official government website to check the Constitution and all the changes made. The thought process for the average person will be “I guess they amended the Constitution.”

    When judges, lawyers, and other experts start to say “No, the Constitution hasn’t been changed and these rights still apply.” The Government will push the message of “Don’t listen to these experts, listen to us.” Get a substantial minority of people to believe the Government’s message, viola! Problems for all!*

    Case in point, sovereign citizens and how sheriffs are the only real law enforcement. These people believe absolute bull shit legal theories. Imagine when you have the Government backing the theory of “the rights were amended out of the Constitution” or what crack brained shit the Government comes up with.

    *Just no problems for the authoritarian government.





  • I take one issue with this article.

    The supply chains that we’ve evolved—where some parts are made in Canada and some in the US—exist for a reason. They keep costs down for everybody and help produce commodities for the Canadian and American public at the lowest possible price.

    It keeps the price down for companies just not the consumers. I imagine if you look at certain sectors, there is only a handful companies that control the majority of the market. These companies control the prices for the entire market.

    The rest I agree with, Trumpie’s tariffs and economic policy is going to drag everyone into a recession and cause major upheaval.
