I've seen it and experienced the program. eBay is big into this. china company, selling directly to American customer and also charging for extra shipping fees. Pretty evil those little people.

"British car manufacturers include Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, Mini, and Rolls-Royce"... yeah, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and McClaren are cutting into GM's market share in the US.

The people buying those cars couldn't give a rat's a$$ about the tariffs... the more they spend the happier they are!

Well i guess these clowns (esp GM) should fold up shop in Mexico and come home, employ americans. Fk them

GM has a HUGE problem with its new truck and full size SUV engines. Massive recall. 21-24 model yrs. So yeah, they are effed alright! Made in Mexico in the Sinaloa plant. Rod and crank bearing failures.

It sounds as if they put ford motors in them!

They are locking up going down the highway! Chevy, ferd, even yotas are having serious issues. Pride in their workmanship has fallen to the profit margins. Ferds owner has publicly berated his whole company's crappy quality control. Even suburu has lots of wheel bearing problems.

Those darn trade deals!

The United Kingdom will purchase $10 billion of Boeing planes, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said at the White House on Thursday during the announcement of a bilateral trade deal between the UK and the United States, though the details were unclear.

rump Backed Down on China Tariffs

[David - WI]

No, China backed down.

"The result is that additional US tariffs on Chinese imports - that's the extra tariffs imposed in this recent stand-off - will fall to from 145% to 30%, while recently-hiked Chinese tariffs on some US imports will fall from 125% to 10%.

China has also halted and scrapped other non-tariff countermeasures, such as the export of critical minerals to the US, which it put in place in response to the initial escalation.

The US measures still include an extra 20% component aimed at putting pressure on Beijing to do more to curb the illegal trade in fentanyl, a powerful opioid drug."

Oh no... TARIFFS!

Tax on the $800 parcel is also a good idea as its a massive drain on USD and no tax collected.

I'll bet there was lots of assembly and retailers using that system.

Trump Tariff Revenue Soars in May

"As of May 30, the U.S. is on pace to set a new monthly record in tariff revenue—nearly $23 billion, about three times the amount collected in May 2024. That record-breaking pace contributes to a total of $68.23 billion collected so far in 2025, a 78 percent jump from the same point last year, according to Treasury Department data analyzed by the Penn Wharton Budget Model."
