The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Looks like you’re finally coming to terms that you lot seem to get away with it but somehow the USA won’t.
Silly nuts!

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
What like VAT you mean?
Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
No but I’m aware of the difference between a permanent cost increase and a transitory one.

btw GM sales were up but profits were down. They were down because their costs went up loads……. Can you guess why their costs went up?Their costs will come back down again, it’s transitory.
Silly nuts!What?? Why will they come back down? Are the tariffs going to come off?
nope.
its a permanent increase in costs ‘silly nuts’.

all I heard was as a vague reference to Japanese investment.
so how are GM going to make back a $1.1bn hole from just one quarter?
what about the 40+ other US companies who have called down profits?

No mention of why the US biggest car manufacturer has lost $1.1bn of profits due to tariffs.
someone is paying those tariffs, either US consumers or US companies. Let’s see who.

The EU loves our girls and women being raped. Because if they genuinely cared then they would have kept a lid on this from the beginning. The stats have been clear since Merkel invited them in with open arms, as her girls were running away screaming for help. Starmer and Co have now taken on the baton..
