Facts are Facts and clearly the loss of jobs is proof that the Tariffs have not helped but hurt the U.S. Economy as it is a distraction from the wealthy taking more and crushing the hard workers of America especially in Manufacturing such as the Auto Industry. Here’s how many jobs have been lost in sectors affected by tariffs since Trump’s trade war started About time the CEOs start speaking out.

Very cool model of your bike.

The sales tax is applied to all businesses in Washington state excluding grocery stores. As such, no matter if you support or not the pro teams, but you go eat at McDonalds, sit down dinner at Anthony's seafood, etc. there is a 1/2% sales tax that you pay that is dedicated to go to the stadiums. As such everyone pays it. I have gone down this rabbit hole when it first quietly hit our sales tax and plenty of others here have complained about that it originally was supposed to only hit select businesses that support the stadiums, but the politicians here made it a blanket tax that everyone pays.

@oldshurst442 @ccap41 Good to know that some stadiums were paid for with private money. Old's I understand the Olympics and the money trap the countries / cities get caught up in, but I do appreciate the global competition in sports as my son was part of the U.S. Gymnastics boys team from the JO program all the way up to the full Olympic program in Colorado Springs before he retired as it did wear on his body. My disgust for Pro Sports comes from the NFL strike and the players complaining about how expensive it is to insure rare auto's and wanting more money, fancier places, etc. In Seattle, Nintendo, owners of the Mariners baseball team as well as the Seahawks got the taxpayers to not only pay for their stadiums, but for the maintenance and the proof is that pro sports DO NOT bring in greater money than the costs of these stadiums. While in some regards, I respected Paul Allen for his donations to various causes, as a billionaire I felt he should have paid for his own stadium. His sister who inherited his wealth and the ownership of the Seahawks had the nerve to tell Seattle they needed to continue to pay for maintenance of the stadium or she would look to move the team elsewhere. Greed like this is what has turned me off of pro sports, I enjoy College sports, but even there at the push to allow private money in with what I see as manipulation, this next season will be interesting to see how it goes as I might end up not bothering to watch or support College either. Interesting to see the latest info on this: In the U.S., sports stadiums have been primarily financed through public funding, with many being built or renovated using taxpayer dollars. Notable examples include: Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, which received $380 million in public funding. Milwaukee Brewers' ballpark, which is expected to receive over $400 million in public support. Tennessee Titans' new stadium, which will have more than $1 billion in public bonds. SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, are among the few NFL stadiums fully funded by private money. The public funding of sports stadiums is terrible imho. Washington state funded the stadiums with a never ending 1/2% sales tax. So no matter how one feels, everyone that comes to this state funds the sports stadiums. Very cool Mark Carney Takes Subtle Jab at Trump Opening Toronto Film Fest: "Don't Push a Canadian Too Far"

We'll this is pretty much going as I expected. Tesla Has a Problem — and It’s Not Just the Elon Musk Backlash

NFL = National Felons League I refuse to support any pro sport as the 1% took take payers money for their palaces when they could have afforded it themselves. To hell with Pro Sports.

Shell just announced major layoffs as other countries are not willing to buy from the U.S. any longer so Shell is laying off Americans and moving production of various oil based products over seas to meet the need of global customers. So much for the promise of cheap gas as OIL companies lay off in the 10's of thousands and raise prices for gas, oil, etc. to increase profits for the 1%.

Auto Industry is screwed. ICE just invaded Hyundai plants in Georgia arresting people with no clear legal warrants for the arrests.

Sitting on the lots, seems these Dodge EVs are going for half price. Wonder what Canuck Bucks would be on one?

Why consider Toyota when you have other better options imho. I honestly do not remember if you bought a certified car, aka lease turn in or new, but there are these options: Kia - K4 or EV4 Hyundai - Elantra N or Ioniq 6 N Genesis - G70, G80, G90 or their electric version

Yes, at this time it is what I noticed also.

Due to the lose of Canadian Tourism, many restaurants have closed and many tourist businesses have stated on local news that this year could be their last as owners have paid employees but not themselves and they will have to think about going in debt to stay open next year or close at the end of the season. I suspect many businesses will close as the PNW is already in recession due to tech job lay offs.

I have done that in so many ways in feedback that they have requested even earlier this year wanted to know what it would take to get me to trade in my Escalade for a new one and if I would consider the Escalade IQ. I gave them details on why I would not buy from them unless they did a number of things. Gatekeeping of apps in Google playstore is a major problem for me. No Android Auto / Apple Carplay is another problem. Their decisions for me on what I can and cannot do with my auto I buy from them is a Major problem for me. Go check out the Honda Prologue. Here Honda used the GM Ultium Platform, keeps AA/CP and has a far superior interface with the full Google Store. Better yet, go check out any Kia, Hyundai, Genesis EV and you will see a better way to implement the interface and cell phone compatibility over what GM is doing. Right now, Unless GM does 180 degree change, their poor software implementation and decisions on what you can and cannot do with your auto will keep me from ever buying GM again.

True, if the Odometer has not been played with, but you still have a 1996 tech auto in 2025. 30 years later, hard pass.

Only thing that will kill the EV is what the Germans have announced with a stupid monthly subscription to unlock the full EV potential of HP and other features. VW Sells You Less Horsepower Then Charges A Fee To Give It Back Total BS if they go this way. Not a fan of subscription fees for using the auto you bought.

While I always loved the Crown cars of Japan, it is crazy to see them here at the prices they are asking. 1996 Toyota Crown for sale near Cadillac, Michigan 49601 - 101849404 - Classics on Autotrader

The original Osaka Japan airport had all those problems and then some, so a major engineering project with an artificial island and now Osaka has a modern thriving airport. QUOTE: Osaka's Kansai International Airport was built on an artificial island in Osaka Bay to relieve overcrowding at the original Itami Airport. Construction began in 1987 and the airport opened in 1994. The project was a major engineering feat, requiring the creation of an island using soil dredged from Osaka Bay and quarried from nearby mountains. The airport is designed to operate 24 hours a day and serves as a major international hub, handling millions of passengers annually. Despite initial challenges, such as subsidence, the airport has continued to thrive as a significant aviation center in Japan. The History Behind Osaka Kansai International Airport

The 3 major airports in NY are all terrible and should be bull dozed, then rebuild modern. The remodels are a joke that they have done, especially at Newark.

My Coworkers who are in Cork Ireland used to look forward to coming to the tradeshow we have every year in Vegas and then vacationing in the U.S. This year, they had to force people to come to work the tradeshow in May and none of the Ireland team took vacations in the U.S. Many went to Spain, Portugal and other European or Asian destinations. Sucks to be in the tourism industry right now as I do not see it getting any better, only worse over the next few years.

R.I.P. Skyline Nissan bids fond farewell to R35 GT-R as final vehicle rolls off the line

Loved that James Bond movie! I have friends that live in Galveston and while I enjoyed in the past visiting them. The current situation based on hearing from other coworkers who live in the area is the aggressive hate towards all that is not white and with a Korean Wife, I would probably end in jail as I would not tolerate the southern hate that is currently going on. As such, I will stay in my Multi-Cultural PNW. It is sad that Idiot47 have created so much hate and separation of the U.S. in comparison to a person who is to pull the country together. He clearly is working for select groups and special interests starting with himself. Sadly, I think our Auto industry, Especially GM is done having any Global influence and will now be limited to the U.S. as I notice the free trade agreements that Asia is doing with Canada and Mexico and allowing China in that is bringing in much cheaper auto's, the Detroit Truck Market will become U.S. only IMHO. I myself do not see buying a Detroit auto anymore, I suspect my next auto will be a Kia EV9 Pickup truck or Genesis GV90 SUV.

Poor Flag having to deal with that Pedo! 🤢
