Internships are important. If you don’t understand this then please don’t feel you’re equipped to comment on political matters.

Oh I’m sorry I misspoke then. When I said that, I didn’t mean full time instead of internship. I meant an actual career instead of bird watcher

What do you mean by bird watcher? You mean someone who collects data on animals and helps with nature preservation? Or do you not know and just get off on making fun of people with different careers than you?

I wish I got an excuse for my rejections 💀 it was always “we are not moving forward”or “while your achievements are commendable, we have chosen not to move forward with your application at this time”

The one time I actually got a personalized email that basically said “your qualifications look good but we need someone with security clearance and can’t sponsor people for it rn, sorry” I literally replied and thanked them for their time. I’ve never seen a detailed explanation for a rejection besides that, and I’ve applied for hundreds of internships

Nope. 25% tariff on auto parts, 30% tariff on Chinese goods, 10% on everyone else (except China, Mexico, and Canada)

oh and the steel and aluminum tariffs were just increased to 50% today

Anonymous #5 15w

Yes they are higher than before but u do realize it’s not like Trump created these tariffs out of thin air we did have tariffs previously on other countries except the difference was for many theirs were much higher on us than we had on them creating an unbalanced trade agreement. Now you can argue this gets balanced out by our robust economy and that’s why no one caree before but we are suffering from it just look at the auto industry no American cars in other countries but many foreign carhere

That’s because we don’t design cars that appeal to the European market. And which countries had far higher tariffs on US imports than we had on their exports?

1

Anonymous #5 15w

Yeah we don’t design cars for Europe because the cost to produce ship and sell them there is too high in large part because of tariffs and many of these countries laws favoring domestic production which is what we are lacking. That’s the point of the tariffs, to incentivize American consumers to support and purchases American products over foreign products thereby bolstering manufacturing here

Sorry, there’s an exception I forgot about. Some Ford models are popular in Europe. Teslas were too but most of those models come from China

A lot I’m not going to list them all but the worst of them are Canada, China, Germany, and Mexico

The exporter does not pay the cost of the tariffs. The importer does. That shouldn’t really be a factor unless they know no one’s going to buy it in the first place

This is kinda a mute point because foreign companies make these kind of cars for Americans and still make the type of cars Europeans want or Asians want. If given the chance American companies would just do the same

Canada and Mexico don’t have broad tariffs on the US. Trump literally made a trade deal with them ensuring that they wouldn’t 💀

Anonymous #9 15w

American companies have the chance. Most people overseas don’t like our cars except for some Ford models and previously Tesla (made in China)

Yes I know the importer does but that means that consumers in say the UK are paying higher price for American cars, therefore they would prefer cars made domestically or some other European country with which they have better trade deals

Anonymous #9 15w

Then maybe we should make the cars cheaper. Why do we buy so many range rovers but the UK doesn’t buy Cadillacs and Chevys?

Well for one our roads on average are much wider and just take a look online at pictures comparing the size of parking spaces between the us and Europe it’s a big difference. The cars made for the US market serve purposes more important to Americans, and certain features that we like are in our cars and vice versa with cars from other countries based on the culture usually

Anonymous #9 15w

There you go. It’s not just because of tariffs. It’s because you can’t fucking park American cars in European parking spaces 💀

Yeah, but they wouldn’t just import fucking American cars does Honda import small ass cars here no have you ever been to say Japan their cars are built so differently but the companies are the same. That’s cause they are able to make a profit designing cars for certain markets and shipping it to say here while our companies struggle. I’m also putting some of the blame on our car companies as they also haven’t put in the effort to innovate as much as some of these Japanese and Korean car co

But that doesn’t change the fact that economically many foreign companies have an edge over domestic companies in the automotive sector and others

Anonymous #9 15w

That’s because some of these Japanese brands specifically have models or designs for the North American market, and they do incredibly well. The Honda CR-Vs and Mazda CX-5s they sell in North America are different from the ones in other countries. They literally stopped selling the diesel CX-5 in the US after a year because of lack of demand, but it’s still popular in other countries

You’re not really arguing against my point that’s what I’ve been saying so r u denying that these companies have an advantage due to previous international trade agreements or not?

Take Europe for example. They have much higher gas taxes too. They don’t want gas guzzlers. Diesel models do better there. US companies haven’t done that great overseas. Saab used to be owned by GM. Ford used to own Land Rover and Aston Martin

Anonymous #9 15w

Yes, I’m denying that, because there’s a market for *some* American-made cars abroad. Tesla and Ford are popular, as I mentioned. But other car manufacturers don’t have the ability to make specific models for specific markets, or consumers overseas don’t like the existing offerings. It costs money to change a model to fit the demands of specific countries

Europe also has stricter environmental standards on CO2 emissions. The case with NOx emissions from diesel cars is probably more familiar though. The US has (or had, if the EU has gotten stricter) stricter regulations on NOx emissions. Volkswagen literally had to cheat in order to get their diesel models approved for sale in the US
