Recently, users have expressed their frustrations with the inconsistency of Sharpie markers. One commenter, Jenny, mentioned her disappointment after purchasing Sharpies for plant labels, noting they faded completely despite being advertised as indelible. She humorously questioned whether similar fading might affect items signed by high-profile figures like Trump.
In a broader context, Ian shared his views on international trade dynamics, particularly regarding the US's relationships with its neighbours, Canada and Mexico. He voiced frustration over the US's approach, suggesting it lacked genuine allyship, particularly when reflecting on trade actions reminiscent of those imposed by China on Australia five years ago. He highlighted his focus on the balance of quality and price in his purchasing decisions, specifically his anticipation for acquiring a Chinese electric vehicle, contingent on the outcome of local elections.
