Trump is all like "Australians sell their beef to us, but they won't buy any of ours 😡"

Which.... yeah? Of course???? Why would we import external beef from so far away when we produce more than enough to meet our own needs??

Not to mention that USA still has both mad cow disease and foot and mouth disease, but Australia doesn't -- AND America has increasingly lax commercial-level health and safety standards, meaning the risk of pathogens like MCD/F&M spreading through the US are significantly increased, and we don't have either here in Australia, so of course we don't want to import beef from a country that could conceivably spread the diseases to us???

But even aside from that. There are not that many Australians. But there are a lot of Americans. AND Australians eat an average of 23.4 kilos of beef per year but we produce 2.2 million tonnes. We produce WAY more beef than our population eats. So of course we don't import much????? And of COURSE it's not from America, which is both significantly further away than our current importers (primarily New Zealand and Japan), AND which has significantly lower health and safety regulations than we do????

Meanwhile, Americans average aprox 37 kilos of beef per person per year, but produces around 12.4 million tonnes. USAs population is 12 times larger than ours but only produces 5 times more beef than we do, AND consumes more per capita than we do. Of course USA imports large quantities of beef. Because their domestic production doesn't meet their domestic demand. Meanwhile Australia's production vastly outweighs our domestic demand, so of course we don't import American beef?????

Thats...... that's how imports and exports are supposed to work???? You export excess of what you have to someone who has less of it, and in turn, they export to you the produce/products that YOU don't have. This is fucking basic??????????

"Waahhh, Australia won't import American beef 😭😡" yeah???? Of course we don't????????

PLUS!!!!! Overall, Australia imports 34 billion dollars worth of stuff from America per year. Meanwhile America only imports $16 billion from us.

Putting tariffs on a country that imports more from you than they export to you is uhhhhhhhhh, FUCKIN' STUPID. If america tariff everything we send to them it's on all of $16b worth of stuff. If we tariff everything of theirs then we'll be slapping taxes on more than double what they can tax us.

Trump is such a fucking moron.

not a dream

sometimes I go on a Wikipedia rabbit hole

I hear about a historical figure, a royal, a warrior, an artist or someone completely else and then I can spend hours reading up about them and then following the line of their female descendants as far as it can get me

the goal is to find out someone who has descendants in this day and age and it makes me exceptionally happy when that happens

usually I also save cool art of said daughters, granddaughters etc.

like these

if I run out of female descendants, I then find a niece of theirs (follow the line of youngest brother usually)

I can go like this for hours

these are some images I saved from my latest drift

I know so many strange facts about random historical women lol

I thought about adding something like the Ukrainian national anthem...and then I realized the perfect song for this symphony of strikes already existed...

Happy "russian aviation got fucked by Ukrainian drones" Day 🥳🎉🥂

For those who didn't know it: these planes (TU-95, TU-22, TU-160 etc) are used by russians for missiles launch. That's exactly what they did last week and earlier today too. They have been terrorizing us for years. Firing 100+ at once sometimes, killing lots of people, leaving us without electricity, water etc in autumn and winter.

SBU managed to destroy/damage at least 40 of them! Y'all have no idea how many lives were saved today!

This is once again a proof that if we really were given means to fight, the war would've been over a long time ago!

the government making it legal to kill kiwis and other native animals if they’re in the way of roads and mines is so crazy. the government of new zealand is anti kiwi. you couldn’t even write that
