The value of exports from the US to Canada typically quoted excludes digital services like Amazon, Netflix, Google, etc.

Including such services makes a big difference which is why the Trump admin got into a big huff about the digital services tax Canada was looking at implementing under Justin Trudeau.

I'm not sure if including digital services actually put the US at a trade advantage with Canada or not. If it doesn't, it comes awfully close to doing so - either almost or entirely wiping out Trump's argument that Canada is ripping the US off on trade.

Including digital services doesn't make US exports to Canada jump to 10% or anything but total exports to Canada are quite significant.

The r/degoogle sub has a good list in their wiki .

That's been one of their justifications for Trump's ballroom: Obama "put in a basketball court".

Modifying an existing outdoor tennis court for basketball is somehow about the same as demolishing the White House East Wing and building a ballroom for which the Republicans wanted $1 billion from taxpayers.

In the early days of Tesla, a lot were bought by people that wanted to help the environment with an all-electric car - almost the exact opposite of today's Elon-supporting cybertruck driver.

Some of these sold their Teslas but others can't really afford a new car so they still drive them. Some even got "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy" bumper stickers to avoid vandalism on their cars.

Yeah. I wish mods would say why they remove things more often. (It seems increasingly rare these days).

How are people supposed to know what things to avoid doing? Just reading the sub rules/wiki is often not enough.

At least it wasn't shadow deleted...
