It’d be even better if all these new vehicles were actually reliable again. It’s not difficult for Ford, GM, and all the rest to not only make cars HERE again, but to make them LAST. For example, a reason why the older (late 80s through 2000s) made-in-Japan Toyotas, Hondas are still on the road to this day. There’s a strong work ethic there and the people believe very highly in quality work and a deep dedication to their craft.
They will be happy to make cars that last so they can sell fewer of them! By selling fewer of them they can make them cheaper also. Paying americans with full benefits to make make cheaper and fewer cars is what companies really want, anyway.
But it's going to be a disaster in the short term.
And there's zero reason to cause the disaster. My company had to just tear up our long term spending plans. I'm hearing the same from other companies. They are spending money on projects because there's no warning as to what will change. If companies are delaying projects and spending until we get stability we are going to see a disasterous recession soon
There's zero reason to cause a disaster in pursuit of this goal. Doing it. Recklessly, thoughtlessly and with no prior warning will be a disaster.
And it absolutely will not just affect me. It will affect the United States of America. And I'm fond of the United States of America. If you want to make a major policy change like we've done hundreds of other times you do a timeline and you roll it out. So people can plan so people can adjust so you're not going to crash the markets.
No we are gambling this will affect the US positively.
The gamble is something like by having Americas pay high tariffs for a few years eventually we will have cellphones and sneakers and appliances all made in America.
The gamble is how long is eventually? How much will we end up spending on tariffs.
And how does this affect our ability to sell our products and services? We sell trillions of dollars of stuff to the world every year. Foreign tourists to the US spend about 170 billion a year
It's a gamble that involves a lot of complexity and an unknown time table.
And you may say well, I just sell local and I'm not dependent on tourism, but he US economy is connected on a grand scale and you don't want to be messing with trillions of dollars.
Sometimes drastic results take drastic measures, "made in America" with lower prices would be a win-win in the long run.

the market loves volatility and uncertainty. econ:101
theres not "zero reason" to cause the disaster, theres a lot of reasons in fact. You're probably just mad because it's affecting you.
