●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Saturday, September 12, 2026 ●● ● Sep 12 [00:07] IsambardPrince Canada is not opposing the US for moral reasons. [00:08] IsambardPrince They've torn down their welfare state and expanded state-sponsored suicide to people who are not terminally ill, and even the UN has criticized this. [00:08] IsambardPrince They have an even more right-wing immigration system than ours. [00:08] IsambardPrince They passed a law saying that people with "Canadian heritage automatically get in whilee they still give the boot to refugees. [00:09] IsambardPrince Which is much like the law on citizenship that Orban passed in Hungary. [00:09] IsambardPrince Their main objection to Trumpism is he's making it more difficult for Canada to exploit their workers and their filthy tar sands oil and their unsustainable lumberjacking and other resources. [00:14] IsambardPrince While Carney has torn apart the Canadian welfare state he's also signing arms deals with European weapons manufacturers. [00:14] IsambardPrince These arms deals are directly funded by funneling Canada's sick and homeless and hungry into state suicide programs. [00:15] IsambardPrince As usual, the Canadians are doing things that would make Trump blush and getting no flak for it. [00:16] IsambardPrince The tariffs that Trump has put into effect on Canada are proportional and directly aimed at places where they've been cheating us for years with no consequences. [00:16] IsambardPrince He said he will ban Canadian dairy imports. [00:16] IsambardPrince It should have happened sooner. Too many US dairy farmers have gone out of business and many have had bankers show up who are now trained to spot suicide warning signs when they tell them they can't give them more loans or have to take the farm. [00:17] IsambardPrince And it's because Canada has been dumping on us at below the cost of production to ruin our domestic industries, like China did with cheap televisions. [00:17] IsambardPrince They put at least 8,000 Americans out of work, largely in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. [00:17] IsambardPrince Including my father. [00:17] IsambardPrince He found other work, but many of them never found a job that good again. [00:18] IsambardPrince A lot of them got that job, a union job, making televisions in Marion or Bloomington or Indianapolis, right out of high school. [00:18] IsambardPrince Canada's options to retaliate against us are limited. [00:19] IsambardPrince They don't buy a lot. They're an economic parasite country. [00:19] IsambardPrince They dump but they don't buy. [00:20] IsambardPrince The US has been looking the other way for years because cheap imports serve the neoconservative goal of fucking over American workers and expanding corporate profits. [00:21] MinceR nationalism isn't doing you any good [00:21] IsambardPrince Both US domestic law and WTO agreements give the US federal government the right to use anti-dumping and anti-countervailing measures against Canada. [00:21] IsambardPrince For very nearly everything Trump is either banning or sticking a tariff on. [00:23] IsambardPrince The authority in the WTO agreements is narrower than in US domestic law. [00:24] IsambardPrince The relevant US law is actually the Smoot Hawley Act of 1930. [00:24] IsambardPrince The WTO part says that the tariffs can be up to the amount to correct the portion where the foreign nation is "dumping". [00:24] IsambardPrince Dumping is when they sell at a loss to ruin your domestic industry. [00:25] IsambardPrince It doesn't mean they can't sell cheaper than your domestic industry. It means that they can't sell at less than what it costs to produce it in their economy and get it shipped into yours. [00:28] IsambardPrince So the question isn't whether Trump's tariffs against Canada are right, as much as "are they proportional" considering domestic law and the WTO treaties. [00:28] IsambardPrince And Canada is freaking out because they were making bank by cheating us and selling at below cost [00:42] *_what___ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@bl18-27-126.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights ● Sep 12 [01:10] *parsifal (~parsifal@r3i5ava8wzk6n.irc) has joined #techrights [01:59] MinceR (cat) (no audio) https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/int/image/1787/47/1787471762532.webm ● Sep 12 [02:11] *FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [02:28] *FANTOM (~fantom@freenode-crc.udo.r9g5d1.IP) has joined #techrights [02:33] IsambardPrince MinceR: I improved Richard Stallman's statement about the iPhone.

[03:52] MinceR let me guess, they're not likely to be caught [03:52] IsambardPrince They probably always used police tech this way, but it's harder for the system to figure it out when it's a GPS locator or something you put in someone's wheel well. [03:52] IsambardPrince [21:52] let me guess, they're not likely to be caught [03:52] IsambardPrince Five more were arrested this week in Florida and Georgia. [03:52] IsambardPrince Wallenstein v. Mondelez Int'l., Inc. Settlement has sent you $49.39 USD. [03:53] IsambardPrince I didn't have my glasses on and I was like "Wolfenstein sent me $50? Cool!"

[03:55] IsambardPrince While I was at the gardens some chiggers got me. [03:55] IsambardPrince and now my legs itch like crazy where they bit me. [03:55] IsambardPrince I got there and they said $1.37. [03:56] IsambardPrince I said "Huh, that's weird, which insurance did you run? Wellcare?" [03:56] IsambardPrince And they said they did. I was like "Well I'll be damned, it finally negotiated a good price on something." [03:56] *FANTOM (~fantom@freenode-crc.udo.r9g5d1.IP) has joined #techrights [03:56] MinceR :> [03:56] IsambardPrince The negotiated price for my Depakote is over $375. [03:57] IsambardPrince If I use a GoodRX coupon I pay like $67. [03:57] IsambardPrince MinceR: You have to have Medicare Part D. [03:57] IsambardPrince Otherwise they penalize you by adding 1% to the premium each month you could have had it and did not if you ever sign up for it. [03:58] IsambardPrince Most of the plans are garbage anyway. [03:58] IsambardPrince So I parked it on one where they take the part Medicare pays them as paid in full and offer me a $0 premium. [03:58] IsambardPrince Since it's not helping me pay for any medicines anyway, usually. [03:59] MinceR :> [03:59] IsambardPrince More people are seeing their Part D premium skyrocket. [03:59] IsambardPrince Mom's went from $18 a month to $47 a month in a single year. [03:59] IsambardPrince So I told her that her state has an Aetna plan for $0. [03:59] IsambardPrince She switched to that one. ● Sep 12 [04:00] IsambardPrince Every plan has a different formulary. [04:00] IsambardPrince So one way they can control costs is to put a drug on a higher tier that makes you fill out appeals forms. [04:00] IsambardPrince So the $0 plans usually have more of those. [04:01] IsambardPrince But since they don't usually negotiate the best price, your co-pays are usually a lot higher than just using a prescription savings coupon. [04:01] IsambardPrince The difference between my $0 plan and the one that I was paying over $35 for is that my Depakote was on Tier 3 and now it's on Tier 4, but the price sucked both ways. [04:01] IsambardPrince So I moved to the $0 one. [04:02] IsambardPrince They love people like me. To maliciously comply with the "Sign up or else." law, we move to a plan that doesn't cover jack shit, but they still get money from Medicare for that. [04:05] MinceR 'add the words, "or else"' [04:06] IsambardPrince MinceR: I was talking about rent with one of the other tenants. [04:07] IsambardPrince I told him about the mechanic I used to go to that said they raised his from $1600 to $3000 a month in a single year. [04:07] IsambardPrince They asked why, the landlord said "We have a pool." [04:07] IsambardPrince I was like "Man, I would have said fuck you and fuck your pool." [04:07] IsambardPrince And giggled. [04:08] MinceR :> [04:09] IsambardPrince Well I mean, at that point there's nothing left to lose. The landlord calculated that they could get it from somebody and you can't pay it, which means you're leaving anyway. [04:10] IsambardPrince MinceR: Speaking of landlords, I was talking about my deposit with Mark today. [04:10] IsambardPrince I said, "I included my address for you to send the deposit back in the mailer that has the keys. I do hope you choose to return it voluntarily."

They evicted her. [04:12] IsambardPrince He said the building has had an ongoing roach problem for years but "It's not as bad as it was under the last owner." [04:13] IsambardPrince He asked how I was dealing with mine. I said "Dozens of varying types of bait stations, a bunch of Catchmaster roach motels, Terro bait, smacking the shit out of any that I happen to see. It's getting a lot better." [04:14] IsambardPrince "We got back from the movies, we went to see They Odyssey in July, and there was a big fat brown cockroach the size of a Panzer on the wall staring at me and I grabbed my shoe and smacked him saying 'I don't like the way he's looking at me. I do not like it at all.'" while I was imitating smacking the roach several times.
