Americans choose most expensive way possible to discover what goods made in Canada
WASHINGTON, D.C. - With US President Donald Trump declaring 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods, American citizens have officially chosen the most circuitous and economically painful method possible to investigate what everyday goods originate from Canada.
The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

In IT it’s called the scream test. You unplug it and see who screams.
I have literally done this. Had a VM I didn’t know who owned in my lab, so I turned it off to see who complained or if it was really unnecessary. 3 min later I get a slack message asking if a VM was running.
My favorite
Here's some hints...the lumber we need to build houses, the oil we use to power/heat those houses and transport goods around the country (so, anything that spends time on a semi or delivery truck) and cement. So anyone that needs to purchase things that's are transported or wants a house should be piping up soon.
Natural gas for heating.
I love how they didn't even exempt heating oil for the northern states. They acknowledged that tariffing it was fucked up by only doing a 10 percent tariff on it but it didn't cross their minds to just exempt it. A ten percent price increase on heating is going to literally kill people.
Dude let covid burn through New York City because it's like 80% Democrats, letting people freeze is par for the course.
I hate that you're right. In my poli sci classes they taught that every political decision has winners and and losers but I never thought we'd see a president killing Americans on purpose.
Never heard of the scream test in 40 years of software dev, but I like it.
That’s because it’s the ops guys who turn off all your sites.
Sounds like you need to live life more dangerously.
I've been in IT Operations for 8 years and do this practice but first I've heard of 'scream test' as well
Maybe it's more common with databases and reporting? I've seen this a million times over the years with removing tables or reports. Then again, it's possible I've only worked in places with poor data governance.
