Maybe should have been posted in a lemmy.us community. This .ca is Canada isn't it?

That's for the instance. This community is open for anyone and is the most active pcgaming community on Lemmy

Then good news for you, if you are in Canada, global demand is about to go down a bit, and the prices will go down for us non-Americans in a couple of months. More PC gaming for us (🎉 I guess)

How can he post it there when someone has to set up that website first? This is a lemmy instance hosted in Canada, nothing wrong with being away from the bigger 'centralized' instances and posting something gaming relevant.

I wish your comment wasn't downvoted as it is fair.

While this community is hosted on our Canadian instance, I believe that it's still fair to post here as we (for better or for worse, currently worse) share close borders with the US and in the PC parts marketspace; generally whatever happens in the US tends to have effects up here as well.

Extras:

Funnily enough in this case however; Trump's decision will likely make markets outside the US better, Why?: well American companies themselves will likely redirect incoming parts to other nations as the tarrif cost will be difficult to bear in such short notice.

we saw this happen during Trump's initial tarrif snafu and we're probably gonna see this happen...again. What a fucking moron.

For my American friends, this really blows and I'm sorry :/

For those who I know, when I've got time I'll try to calculate if it's worth shipping parts into the US from Canada. It's so stupid that THIS is the timeline we're living in.

No it's not a fair comment, it completely misunderstands how Lemmy, Piefed and the rest of the Fediverse works.

It's like complaining about Canadian news being posted on Reddit.com, because Reddit is a US website.

Or complaining about introverts being on Piefed.social.

Canada can make a genocide in profits if they open a fab and sell RAM.
