These guys are money pimps. They don’t know, or care to know, how the auto industry works. They just want to generate churn in auto stock values. They don’t even care if it’s up or down, because they can make money either way.

I have a relative who works in the DOT who says he’s very present and positive, and it’s an entirely different environment than when Elaine Chao (Mitch McConnell’s wife) was there. SAD!

In a better world we wouldn’t even need to have this discussion :\

3rd gear. I’ve had training on enclosed spaces and they are no joke. A lot of deadly gases are completely odorless and colorless. For example, the first indication of having a nitrogen leak in many cases is someone falling over. Human nature being the way it is, the automatic response is to rush over to help.. and…

In a better world, Harris would be keeping him on in that role.

Im gonna miss Buttigieg in that transport secretary role. Guy is just ludicrously sharp.

Ford should go back to making Probes instead of the NHTSA making them.

I have all the cars I need for a while and I drive very little thanks to a shift to permanently working from home post COVID. Let the dumbasses who voted for Trump choke on the price of new pickup trucks and get chained to 10 year loans. As for American auto manufacturers, they’ve been digging their own graves for a…

Compared to Trump, a bar of soap is smart. So...

That’s funny, the last thing I would do is trust a MAGA scumbag like Elon.

Even worse, not only to they ignore it when it happened on Trump’s term, but they also fully recognize the effect, but not the source/time of the course, on Biden’s term. It’s pretty insane.

GM has been on a tear, profit wise, lately. Makes me wonder if the layoffs are just priming the pump for the their new tariff-laden reality.

Yup! I’m fortunate to be fairly comfortable and plan to curtail my spending to only the very necessary items for the next few years. Let the tariffs hit everyone that voted for the Orange one; it can be their problem. If the economy follows into a slowdown or recession; gosh, don’t expect me to be heartbroken to see…

Let’s see what happened when they raised the tariffs on Chinese steel a few years ago. Domestic steel also raised its price to within a few cents per ton of Chinese Steel. Not only did the cost of building with structural steel framing skyrocket, so did the price of pretty much every good manufactured with steel.

In other news, they are changing their slogan from “Make America Great Again” to “Trump, What Could Possibly Go Wrong.”

COVID hasn’t killed enough people. Release the robot cars!

Bring on the tariffs!  It’s what people voted for, so let them have it.  Really have it.

So glad I got my used EV this year to lock in the $4k credit. 

1st Gear: No kidding.
