Featured Trump tariffs put the US auto industry in disarray

But we got to have our carbonated sodas.

 

Being 75 years old, I can appreciate that Warren wants to dispense his assets while he can still enjoy seeing what good they can do. Many 'robber barons' did the same in their later years like Carnegie and more recently Gates.

Just for a bit of perspective - thought this article would be of interest:
This is in Britian:

As new car sales flounder and used vehicle demand returns to pre-pandemic levels, it's no surprise...

The US Car Market while having individual quirks is no different than what is going on in most of the world right now.

 

It's like an IQ test; the longer some people continue to support Trump, in the face of all the evidence of economic chaos he is causing, the lower their apparent IQ.

 

.... or being from another country and posting in a forum about that home country's politics and leaders = IQ test failed.

 

If I'm understanding that article right (I kind of skimmed over it) this is something that's been happening in the rest of the world for a long time.

I've been to countries where new cars are a bit unaffordable for most people. So they turn to the used market. But as a result, there is less supply of cars going into the used car market and more demand. This increases their price, but also, out of necessity, increases their longevity.

This in turn makes it harder for everyone, especially younger people who make less money to get into owning a car. The thing about a lot of these countries, though, is they tend to have a lot more public transportation.

 

So you identify as an object of my post?
If you think my country is unaffected by this topic, think again.
I'm not alone; virtually every one in the world shares my opinion.

 

That's called consensus bias.

 

No, it's just called consensus. Usually correct BTW.

 

Thank you for giving us your individual opinion from Alberta. In the US the consensus is we like him.

 

Well, at the time of the election, more people voted for other president-vp tickets than voted for his, only failed to coalesce around any one other ticket, so we got him. The minority of voters who elected him might not be properly called a consensus.

But that was several months ago, so how many people do or don't like him now may have changed. Some organizations try to track that.

 

This is the problem with politics. Name-calling people with different opinions. Also relying on "what I see" instead of accepting that there may be a more accurate statistic.

I wish the best for Trump and his policies although he's personally made my life extremely hard and I'm not convinced that things will get better.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

 

Not what I heard. The polls are all down, except for maybe the Rasmussen poll, but that one's a crooked shill anyhow.
But that's not the point; the world has turned against the bully, and it won't end well for him.

 

say most everyone with bias

 

I am with you on this one.
I try to vote for the person I think is best for the job not the party.

Democrat, Republican or Independent I hope for the very best for their Administration and for our country.
They deserve a chance to see if their policies will work and hopefully will adjust/change or stop them as necessary to do the best for the country.

 

You had me thoroughly confused, lol.

 

Managing your own bias is a life skill.

 

It takes a particular type of delusion to believe in a flat earth. Similarly, in order to believe that the US system is so deeply corrupt that Trump was fraudulently convicted of 34 felonies, is so devoid of logic, it defies description. That would rank the US as worse than the darkest dictatorships on the planet. That just doesn't add up for anyone with a modicum of common sense.
