It’s so nice of you to be concerned with us Yankees.
Gosh. Thanks I see the light.
I think I’ll buy a Jaguar. A good British car.
Tata for now.
What are you saying in your post about buying a Jaguar?
Well, I guess it’s nice that you are free to buy a British car. Enjoy that freedom.
We certainly enjoy that freedom in reverse. The most popular car in Britain is the Ford Focus. We buy them because they are good cars, fit for service.
Ford gets its share of the UK market by competing (!) - not by getting Uncle Sugar to use the levers of subsidy and tariff. We in the UK get good cars and Ford get paid.
I’m not seeing why some people on FR have a problem with this apparently revolutionary idea. Nobody owes you a living: you get ahead by being better, faster or cheaper than the competition.
All of this reflexive recourse to tariffs sounds like the first instinct of a loser culture. Don’t be that country!
