Hmmm...Tesla has factories in China, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands:

but but t-man grabbed their waifu by the s#horpe! it is a little over the line. that must be addressed.


this is true the raf nee feaf nee eic has been bombing yemen since the 1800s. biden could only hope to be so efficient.



edit: hmm this is what happens when i have a half cup of coffee, okay, please excuse

Sorry, old chap. Don't understand yer banter?

Cabbage crates over the briney.....etc.

[UltraBudgie]

It's okay. I explained it to the AI, and it still didn't get it:

Aden was not founded by British bombing; it became a British colony in 1839 when British forces captured it to secure trade routes. The area later experienced significant conflict during the Aden Emergency from 1963 to 1967, which involved British military actions against nationalist insurgents.

Shrug. Just saying there's a long history there that seems to rhyme. Um, thanks?

"S#orpe" was a bit obscure, I'll admit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

Yes. Typing Sc#thorpe on work laptop attracted unwelcome attention from my IT people.

Just watched Trump announcing new tariffs.

Jaw dropping.

Let's see how all the MAGA maniacs rush to cheer this utter bollox.

Oh, America, is this what has become of you?

I guess you get the President that you deserve.

So richly, so richly.

Such a sad thing to say...
As if your leaders are you, as if our leaders are us...

But "What we deserve" is whatever the speaker wants it to be, yes?

The commercial world and it's confidence game and casino market are aflame with uncertainty...
The media reports "panic."

May I presume you agree?

No. Not panicking, just saddened. I'm not told what to do by the media.

I make my own mind up, from 60+ years of life experience.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that... only that much of the media is consistently reporting this "Trump tariff" matter as a critical crisis situation...
but apparently from the US perspective, it is not.... it's business... and we're putting an end to everything that looks like 'entitlement-style' international trade deals.

We're contemporary you and I... admittedly displaced.

Indeed

but the UK US balance of trade is pretty much equal. So why are we being punished for supposedly ripping off the US?

It's like a declaration of hostilities against the rest of the World by a serial liar with the grasp of international trade and economics of a particularly thick twelve year old.

As a result, we could all be heading into a recession.

The law of unintended consequences and stuff.

We aren't displaced. We both live in the same World.

Sadly, it seems to be Trump World.
