"Why, before you know it, Americans might discover that other countries, languages, and - worst of all - cultures exist. That might make them question the rightful order, and then where will we be? They'll start asking questions like 'wait, paid vacation is a thing?' or 'what's a union?', and we can't have that. No, sir."

So let me guess: netflix and company are raising their prices globally soon. For reasons, right?
Can't wait to have more reasons to keep using stremio.
Stremio, Cloudstream, torrents, whatever it takes.
Demonstrating once again that he has no idea how tariffs work.
Tariffs are taxes on the importation of physical goods and theyโre charged at the port of entry.
Movies arenโt physical goods and they donโt go through a port of entry.
Thereโs literally no way to put tariffs on foreign movies but Trump is too stupid to understand that.
The closest thing they could do is charge tariffs on DVDs, and that would have zero impact on anything.
Because clearly the US has a trade deficit in movies and entertainment, right?
Most of it has been slop for the last decade too.
It'll be terrible, just terrible. What will I do without the next Marvel cookie-cutter project, Disney-fied Star Wars movie or the no doubt upcoming Borderlands sequel?
Canadian working in film over here. All our bosses fly in from the states, the company is American (usually with a temporary Canadian corporation underneath that will dissolve after the project) and half the actors and art talent are from the states.
And to address the propaganda angle, we are usually telling American stories anyways. Right now I'm working on a show about Muhammad Ali.... All the set dressing is American...
But I did sneak some Roberson screws into a set. So hopefully the word gets out to the American people. You don't have to live under the tyrant Phillips, we have a better way.
Roberson screws are by far the most superior. I don't understand why any company would manufacturer anything else.
Torx for the win
Which one? I have 15, 20, 25, and sometimes 30 in my pouch. I can almost tell them apart by eye these days....
Torx are lovely, but nothing beats a Robbie 90% of the time.
I've never heard of seen Robersons. I had to search online. Is it the square ones?
I'm personally a huge fan of hex sockets. I've had torx bits snap and twist before. Don't think I have had problems with a hex.
I've rounded more hex screws than I've successfully unthreaded. I've had way less issues with torx screws.
