I suspect this has more to do with your pet country than the standards.

You found the time and energy to type all of that but couldn't manage to copy a few paragraphs from the article you linked?
FFS, it's not even paywalled:

The value of Irish goods exports to the United States soared by 52% to almost €112bn (£97bn) in 2025, official figures suggest.
And of course, Ireland PM comes to the U.S. for St. Patrick's Day to lecture us.

Why do we tolerate little Ireland siphoning American wealth?

Sure, it's American companies taking advantage of a tax haven, but this should be shut down. American taxpayers fund our universities and agencies to do work and create pharma patents and then legally transfer these patents to foreign subsidiaries who then export products back for a profit.
Why are we fricking with Iran? It's places like Ireland that we need to target. Not with bombs but with effective tariffs. Are you a tax haven? Your tariff rate is now the the difference.
Why am I posting this now? Recent interactions with some arrogant pricks.

The purest form of this event would be to emulate the 4 nations hockey thing and have US/Japan/DR/Venezuela do it in place of the all-star weekend. That's not really the point though. The point is for MLB to try to create more fans across the globe.
Exactly. Four nations was great. But, MLB doesn’t want that. They want revenue growth. It might even be better for MLB if USA loses.

I don’t get why colleges throwing money at internationals is a good thing. Certainly not good for developing local talent.

Years ago I would have stood up for Florida.
No longer. Place is turning to shite. Everywhere is crowded and traffic is a nightmare.

Few have a problem with it, and if I’d done anything at all remarkable I would have went too.
You just have to realize that Trump is a narcissist and will use you to swipe at his political enemies like he did by sharing the AI video of Brady Tkachuck.
Was it a headache for Brady who plays in the capital of Canada? Sure, but wasn’t the troll of Canada glorious?

This is a sad troll job. I doubt there are many Russians that even think they are top two. We should be able to block people for stupid posts so that you never have to encounter them again.

Oh no
There’s like 2 x the number of events since the 90s
I actually like the idea of limited, targeted tariffs for key industries. That said, the tariff rollouts are pure chaos and this Art of the Deal shite where you trash and scare everyone into deals and boycotts is childish and counterproductive.

USA looks like crap. Of course it had to be during the gold medal game against Canada.
