So what about not allowing kids to drink or smoke or drive? Is that fascist as well?

Well, the EU has repeatedly put their hands up to take our Aluminum if the US doesn't want it...
EVs are just in a funny market segment. They are far more economical if you drive them long distances, but they are far less convenient to drive long distances. So what do you buy them for? If you work from home and only drive a little, sure an EV may suit your use just great but it will be 25 years before you break even compared to a like ICE. Take them on long trips and you will have to stop and charge eventually. Therefore they have a very small middle segment of the market. And then add on top the fact that you have to have a place to charge one overnight.
And Trump keeps saying repeatedly that he has no use for CUSMA and he could end it this year.
I think the reference was more towards the fact that Canada wouldn't have to be dealing with China if Trump hadn't instituted the tariffs, or called Canada the 51st state, or said he had no use for CUSMA. Once Canada builds ports and expands trade with China there is no reason to come back to the US unless the US gets really cheap.
No it isn't the same thing. There are many extremely hard jobs with very low pay. Care home worker, social worker, garbage man, most blue collar jobs involve being exposed to the weather. You have no idea what a retail store manager goes through-- they are basically on call 24/7 to fill in at any time. Any job that destroys the body over time. But because these are 'uneducated' jobs, everyone keeps wages low and there is no health coverage.
No, food deserts happen because grocery stores don't make enough money to put up with high theft areas.
Exactly, you have to be shopping all the time for that. Because if you have 20 fresh ingredients around, then something is always going to be going bad. Always.
So let's apply the jaywalker argument to this scenario. Yes in a lot of states the jaywalker can be found at fault. I would say this would certainly happen if the car was travelling 5 miles an hour and the jaywalker died. So in this case the ICE agent is the jaywalker. The real question is whether the jaywalker is entitled to shoot a driver that is coming towards them at 5 miles an hour now that we have determined that the driver isn't a hazard to the jaywalker. Unless an ICE agent is in the process of doing their duty, which the agent was not at the time since the driver was not an illegal, then the agent is the jaywalker here who was creating the dangerous situation by being in front of a car.
Then they just bring people in from nations with too many people and pay them like they should be grateful to be paid at all.
They didn't vote to do it using questionable methods. There was an agent in the field that had been traumatized by a previous event. He should have been taken our of duty and receiving mental health care if he was so compromised that it becomes part of the defence when he panics and kills someone. I would say that the ICE were conducting themselves as if they were in a cop show, but even in a cop show they take compromised members out of duty. It's more like a 1970 cop show where all the men are manly men and judge every situation accurately in a flair of bravado.
You just keep digging your hole deeper. WHAT DID SHE DO THAT DESERVED DEATH?
Sure I suppose the consequence of living is death if you want to look at it that way. You can die in a bathtub after all. It doesn't mean it should be legal to hold someone's head under the water or hit a jaywalker.
Lettuce lasts, what, 4 days? If you want to eat salad every day you need to stop by the grocery store at least twice a week maybe three times. If the grocery store is not convenient to get to than that will be onerous. Also salad gets boring quickly. I ate it for lunch for a month once and then I was done. Getting different dressings doesn't cut it.
Why use a phone to watch video on a TV when a Firestick costs $30?
