Except China is a tiny fraction of steel imports. Imports from First World allies (who are also major export markets for US steel) make up the majority. 

Have you ever traveled abroad to countries where you don’t speak the language? I have and I see tourist families speaking English among themselves all the time. It doesn’t offend the locals at all.

Oh, some of them know it. They just welcome it as the price of validating their racism. 

I see this almost every time I use a public restroom. The walls and/or the toilet paper dispenser are booger magnets 

Ok, to be honest, biracial people for whom one race is 25% or less of their ancestry tend to look 100% of the other race.

Food for thought: Could the increasing unpopularity of cable TV subscriptions be the main contributor to Fox’s declining ratings?

Someone needs to invent the technology in The Matrix so we can plug this guy into it and let him live the rest of his life in a virtual all-white world where everyone kowtows to him.

For this reason, I’ve always felt that the best way to deal with these white supremacists is to give them what they want.

I keep hearing from critics about how the systems in Canada and the UK have flaws, but I never hear about the far more successful yet similar systems in Singapore and Hong Kong. Seems like as long as you get competent people to run the system, it's perfectly sustainable 

They already build Toyotas in China. They've held off on doing the same with Lexus due to concerns about quality. Also the "made in Japan" label carries some prestige 

Non EU cars do get a 10% tariff which is a drop in the bucket compared to the minimum 180% tax. There’s also VAT which is over 20% (applies to both domestic and imported goods). Probably explains the 37%.

The US also seems to have given up on making small cars too. Plus, the most popular cars and trucks from the Big Three are often not available in right hand drive. 

The trade war has a lot of Chinese consumers playing it safe and holding off on new big ticket purchases because the Chinese economy is negatively affected - whether it is hurt more or less than the US is irrelevant.

Don’t think the point of the tax is to raise revenue. The government just wants fewer people to drive and they seem to have accomplished that in Copenhagen, which is often noted for its high number of cyclists. Living in Sweden and commuting is only going to be done by those who absolutely love their cars. The…

I don’t know about the advantages and disadvantages of living in Sweden vs Denmark, but I’d equate that to how some people live in one jurisdiction of the US or Canada and commute to a jurisdiction where tax rates are different.

The EU does have a 10% import tariff on cars but it is far from the most protectionist. Notably, it’s fairly straightforward to grey import non compliant cars as long as you perform necessary mods and pay the fees. I’ve seen quite a few US spec cars on the roads there.

Denmark, like Singapore, uses that tax to discourage car ownership entirely. They want people to ride bicycles and transit. While that’s not my cup of tea, I have to admit that society as a whole benefits from this - less congestion, people are healthier, and the air is cleaner.

Wrong, sales taxes, not car taxes, are higher. NZ doesn’t even have car tariffs.

Besides currency conversion you also have to account for sales tax of 15% which is included in the sticker price, unlike in the US. 

NZ actually doesn’t have any car tariffs as it doesn’t even have a car industry.
