Still only condemning certain rapists, I see. What do you think about your hero, Donald Trump being a rapist?
Actually, seeing you are quoting Tommy Robinson, what do you think about him once launching a campaign to release his close friend, Richard Price, who had been found guilty of downloading child porn? Why do you think that paedophile supporter's views on any other sex offender have any merit whatsoever?

goose wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025, 22:51 Bernstein senior analyst Daniel Roeska said auto companies have started to exhaust their strategy of absorbing tariff costs into their own margins as car prices are poised to skyrocket later this year.

“There are only two people who can pay for [tariffs]: either the shareholders or the consumer,” Roeska told Fortune. “And in the end, there’s going to be some sharing between those two halves. And so our view has been and continues to be that prices for cars are going to push up in the second half.”

“There’s not much you can do,” Roeska said. “If the policy is to put tariffs on cars, then that will increase the cost of cars, and ultimately, that will likely increase the price of cars.”

GM aren’t alone in this, it’s a common theme.
i’m off to bed, you can keep wrestling with who’s on the other end of the tariffs equation. Shareholders or consumers………

Changed my tune on what? That they’re the biggest manufacturer of cars in the US? They are.

the proof is them paying it. You don’t think GM would avoid paying out an additional $1.1bn of costs if they could? What about Q3 when it becomes an even bigger cost?

if they had a more cost effective option they’d be doing it don’t you think?

if you think you’re embarrassing anyone others than yourself, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
next you’ll be telling me about all the beef you’re going to export to Australia  

Simpleton!

 

It is a very simple equation as I posted below.
FY it’ll cost GM between $4 to $5bn. If you think there’s a cheaper way for them to do business I’d love to hear it? I’m sure you are way smarter than them.

someone is paying that $4-$5bn, either GM or the consumer.

Imported cars and parts.

So if the biggest manufacturer of cars in the US chooses to import despite the $1.1bn hit, what does that tell you about producing the equivalent in the US? It’s cheaper to take the $1.1bn hit.

They also warned that the hit to costs will be even greater next quarter.

Now, if the biggest and most well equipped manufacturer of cars cannot avoid those costs you think there’s a magic answer to this? Nope.

Was thinking back to covid times  today and i remembered that the army built 7 hospitals in a week. So why the fuck can't the government instruct the army to build a dozen detention centres to house all these budding Horatio Nelsons. Kit them out with camp beds and stick them out at the back of beyond where there are no locals. This would save the tax payer a fortune and would also preserve the jobs of of all the staff who get sacked as soon as the hotels are comadered for these Herbert's. The government clearly have no intention of stopping these people coming here so the least they can do is stop giving them free shit, stop putting them in luxurious settings and show the British people that the British government is actually on their fucking side!

Will to do it. It's an easy thing to initiate if they want to. Dominic Cummings said that the Nightingale Hospitals were knocked up in days through specialist logistical help of the Army. He recommended they should do the same with temporary migrant camps which solves some issues like having them away from schools etc. 

Starmer doesn’t want to do that, just as he pulled the plug immediately on the Rwanda scheme, even though if he just continued on with what the Tories started with it, they'd be able to stop a lot of the pull to the Country as well.

If he actually cared about how liked he was in the Country, keeping that going was such an easy win as the Tories got it up and running and he could still bask in the glory of clearing migrant issue away without getting any of the shit thrown at him bar some student union knicker wetting tantrums. 

But Starmer clearly doesn't want to do that, he wants the Country to live in misery so he looks great on the world stage with his other muggy liveral luvvie wankers around the world and in particular the EU.

He probably also sees it weirdly as reparations through the backdoor unofficially "giving back" for all of our nasty Colonial ways, hence Chagos Islands surrender at a cost to us.

GM could always make all their autos and auto parts in the USA therefor removing any Tarrif too of course. So it’s not permanent, is it.

They just got a nice big tax break with Trumps BBB plus new markets are opening up so an opportunity to gain market share will help their bottom line. 

Now all that VAT money, sorry I mean Tarrif money Trump wants to use it to offer more tax cuts and or pay down the debt. 

So corporations give up some profit but get a better chance to compete and grow and the savings go to the middle class. I like the policy.

These corporations have been raking it in for years, the CEO’s get paid silly money, even the bad ones. Redirecting their profits and passing it on to the public with tax removals sounds like a good idea to me.

Any jobs lost at GM or other CO’s will be replaced by all the companies building new offices and warehouses/ plants in the USA to get around Tarrifs.


Sounds good to me.
