Scary as heck. All that rust shrapnel is a pretty good indicator that they neglect to care for their tools. That’s gotta be years of rust in there!
Nonetheless I still use my compressor every day and it’s a pain but I drain it every day as well. A minor inconvenience for a tool with such high utility

I bet you Twenty bucks they bent off the tabs on the spinny drain thingy on the bottom that drains all the condensation and they cant get a grip on it i cant even see the fins on it in the pic so they tried to half ass Drain it with the pull ring on the side and all the water sat in the bottom of the tank rusted inside that steel corroding it for years

WELL FUCK:
My social media feed is rife with 
small business all saying the same thing:
“Sorry 
we are no longer able to do business with you anymore.”
@Wizdom heads up, looks like any US orders have to be un-tracked from now on.

I actually saw this the other day. Had a WTF moment. But then saw this
“Canadians can still send letter mail and gifts under $100 US to the U.S. for no extra cost”

Okay! So the math for us to send tracking padded to us is: <$100 USD NO MATTER WHAT!

None of these countries refusing to ship to US makes scene. I doubt it is going to dissuade the president.
The customer pays the tariff so let the customer decide. All that not shipping to the US gets them is a guaranteed loss of revenue.

I had a feeling this was coming for Canada-US after seeing a topic posted about the same thing happening in Europe.
The article I read said the same thing pretty much for Europe sending to USA, although depending on which country, they may not even offer to send at all to the USA apparently…even letters or gifts under 100$.

Sadly it’s on us here which is why it’s such a big deal.
I’ll repost this example:
USA customer wants to buy a sweater; for us in Canada it’s $57 CAD, for them its $57 +19.95 = $76.95 CAD.
So while it’s absolutely no issue for this charge to be forwarded to the customer, many of us don’t want to do that or deal with the added paperwork.

Yeah tariffs are a tax on the people, not companies. Seems not many people understand that. It is a good way to destroy trade relations. Can’t just suddenly build a factory for everything and change all supply chains. This won’t bring any jobs back and it is just making everything more expensive. For instance, from last week to this week, Costco produce went up about 40%. That’s just something I noticed while getting groceries yesterday.
Most aluminum/fertilizer is sourced from Canada. That will just increase production costs even if it is “assembled” or “made” in US. Shit is meant to keep everyone down and desperate and dependent.

Nor can you pay your workers $0.38 an hour to be competitive.
I have yet to hear where this new lucrative revenue stream is going.

I watched this really good documentary about Russia in the 90’s after the fall of the Soviets and basically all the wealth of the people was just sucked up by a few oligarchs at the top and nearly all people were living in squalor and anguish. It is very similar to what is happening here now where all wealth is going straight to the top and nothing is staying at the bottom or middle.
Here it is n full
“Sovereign wealth fund” = Oligarch pocket.

Krushchev 1956.
We’ve stopped buying anything made in the US. We are serious about it and not joking, as are many other Canadians. We accidentally bought cherries the other day, realized they were from the US and went “well fuck.”
I’m not traveling there either.
Even if, and I agree with you it’s impossible, but even if all manufacturing jobs moved back to America it wouldn’t work anyway. “Made in America” is an American badge of honour but to the rest of the world it’s really funny. Good luck exporting that shit.

The Ottoman Empire was quite possibly the most evil empire in the history of the world.
Tariffs are as old as America. We used to only have them and didn’t have taxes on goods and services.

Last time the US did broad based tariffs was nearly one hundred years ago
Everything is pointing to… things will get very bad.
