Speaking of ever changing rules - not knowing who’s getting hit with a tariff next makes it really fucking hard to find new suppliers. Right now it’s China - next week who is the president going to be mad at? Keep in mind, it’s not when you order - it’s when your order ships that the tariff is applied. So, we could order today from Turkey and it ships in 6 weeks and boom - that’s when he applies a higher tariff to Turkey. I don’t see how anyone can do any business beyond what is on their shelves right now. Even if you put a new “tariff” charge line, you’re not guaranteed anything because your competitors could have ordered a day later and gotten a better tariff rate.
Exactly. Lewis steps into a new team and car and has won a sprint race. Not to mention they aren’t catching McLaren. He worked his way up to 5th. No need to push harder than that.
He’s constantly been a top 10 driver is avg leading cars. Also, he won the Sprint race earlier this year. He’s also in a new car this year - which is not easy for anyone. He’s in the mix with the rest of them in a new car / team. I think he’s fine.
I guarantee you #4 is happening. Tariff is applied on ship date. If companies didn’t have the cash to load up Nov - March, they are fucked or they are scrambling for new suppliers - which also costs money and time.
Damn near everything we touch / use has some component linked back to China. A massive amount of construction equipment parts that builds the roads to get us places, for example. Everything will go up in cost due to this bullshit.
