NAFTA is dead... just look at the lumbering issues between Canada and US.

Yep, US breached the contract on softwood lumber, NAFTA authorities told them to cease and desist.

Not a big deal, we can easily sell it to places like Japan, that'll pay even more for it. I don't know why we're so insistant on doing trade with the states (especially when they clearly want to rip us off)

Never assume people know what you're talking about.

Give information, both pro's and con's, THEN give your opinion.

I really have no idea what this is, just like I was clueless about the stem cell research thread...

Doesn't do ya much good to just say "What do you think about this random political/business/whatever topic that you have never heard of?"

North American Free Trade Agreement happend because of Clinton around 1994 (I think 94'). It's a deal between US, Canada, and Mexico that all three countries would have free trade among each other i.e. products shipped over aren't taxed or whatnot.
The intent was to encourage trade between the U.S and its neighbors.
This plan was bad for the following reasons:
American businesses like Ford build factories in Mexico because it was cheaper and shipping to the U.S was free. Ford, as a result, also closed factories in Michigan (so did GM if anyone has seen "Roger & Me") and this caused hundreds and thousands of people to lose their jobs and entire towns' economies to crumble. Radio stations also did the same; instead of opening shop in California, they did the same for a cheaper price in Mexico.
Long story short, NAFTA = Bad.

Well, the site just gives info on it but doesn't say why it's bad or good, or what its purpose was.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
