Earlier quoted context omitted.

Mexico/Canada conceding by restating actions they had already agreed to months ago?

Conceded _more_, i.e. CAN adding fentanyl czar, whatever that entails, MX adding another 10k troops. Western reporting alleged PRC would offer restoring phase1 trade, but PRC did the opposite and counter tariffed, on energy and agriculture goods, so relative to CAN/MX it's escalating/rejecting or no sign of conceding.

Is there a primary source for sending "additional troops" by Mexico? All I found was the twitter post from Mexico's president:

And the summary of the speech on on instagram:

Neither confirm additional troops rather than just having 10k at the border.

It's like the right is doing everything they can to make the country be pissed off at them. Do they understand we still have the power to vote?

The usual pattern is they blame the democrats for all the things they did which were unpopular.

Bad for consumers, but seems like a very good thing for AMZN? Amazon won't have to compete against the much cheaper Temu, Aliexpress, Shein(?) etc.

The same amazon that happily ships from the US TO Hong Kong free of charge (above USD49) with SF Express (a Chinese company). Funny how that goes.

All those cargo planes gotta go back, worth filling them up with stuff.

The speed at which all of this is happening is astounding Is this all improvised or was there a big list of stuff to do ahead of time? If the latter, does anyone have a copy of that list? Alternatively, is anyone keeping track of what's already been done so far?

Broadly speaking it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025, but it's been tough for me to find bullet point summaries that don't come across as biased.

This is going to utterly fuck so many R&D projects at my company. We actually do large-scale manufacturing of industrial valves in the USA. But a lot of our prototyping involves working with Chinese suppliers and getting small batches of samples / prototypes / revisions sent in packages on airplanes. I literally do not know how the electrical and firmware engineers will do their jobs now if we cannot receive packages…

Well if you're not busy you'll have time join in a general strike. Shutting the economy down is rapidly becoming the only nonviolent option.
