The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

bighairymike: LOL, you are selectively editing yourself... CARS, CARS, CARS, CARS, CARS.

Umm, c'mon, it right there in your quote: "Now, if I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath for the whole country, that's [the CARS] going to be the least of it."

And, BTW, how many cars does China currently sell in the U.S.?

Zero.

There are currently four models for sale in the United States that are made in China and none is a Chinese car: the Lincoln Nautilus, the Buick Envision, Volvo S90 sedans, and the Polestar 2.

For an idea of the devastation to the economy if Trump were to be in office and put a 100% tariff on any cars that China has a hand in manufacturing -- although, as usual, Trump is completely unclear about what he intends, having promised a 10% tariff on all imported goods, a 50% tariff on all imported Chinese cars, a 100% Tariff on all imported Chinese card, and a 60% tariff on all Chinese goods -- try this Forbe's article to see the damage it would do to jobs and the economy: forbes.com - What trumps auto tariff proposal would mean for the US economy

No wonder Trump had the worst jobs record since the Great Depression.
