A vector has both magnitude (or size) and direction, which are its two defining characteristics.
I’m pretty confident about direction. What’s still TBD is magnitude.
Or, as the old joke goes, “We’ve already determined what you are. Now, we’re just haggling over price.”
With of course no suggestion as to any other way to make up for the lost revenue. Wonder how many of them are controlled by people who thought Trump would be profitable?
“I want everything in one bag. But don’t make it heavy!”
The last sentences of your link are unexpected for me:
The United Auto Workers union welcomed the tariffs and said they would push manufacturers to invest more in the U.S. and create more jobs.
“These tariffs are a major step in the right direction for autoworkers and blue-collar communities across the country, and it is now on the automakers, from the Big Three to Volkswagen and beyond, to bring back good union jobs to the U.S,” the union’s president Shawn Fain said in a statement.
Are US trade unions really in favor of tariffs and of trump?
And as an aside: why specifically mention Volkswagen?
For the most part, unions were strongly against NAFTA, so yes, there’s an understanding from organized labor that tariffs on manufactured goods make it harder for American companies to shift manufacturing across the border. The hope from Sean Fain is that these tariffs will motivate the Big Three to move some jobs to the US.
Eta: most (but not all) unions, including the uaw, were strongly against Trump.
Eta: the uaw currently has organizing drives going at Volkswagen plants; I suspect that has something to do with his mention of that automaker.
An essential step is to decommission the old system the minute the new one comes online. Rollbacks are for losers.
Remember a few days ago when Trump told automakers they better not raise their prices because of his tariffs?
'Cause Trump doesn’t.
But remember, kids, Biden was old and looked old and sounded old and was OLD OLD OLD.
He just doesn’t get capitalism, does he? If the prices on foreign cars go up 25%, the sellers of US cars will raise their prices by 24%. Why leave money on the table?
What are Americans going to do? Take the bus? 
He’s been right so far.
Car prices going up kinda sorta feeds inflation…right? And that used to be bad, right?
Of course they are fools, since higher prices and a collapsing economy means there will be less jobs. And the ones that still exist will be worse paying and with worse conditions.
So this board ceased to exist in 2017 when Trump had us all killed like he predicted back then? Canada has been nuked? All human life south of the Rio Grande has been exterminated along with the entire population of Africa?
Pretty lively place for a defunct board populated entirely by ghosts.
Just in case you need more proof Firxt Felon47 is racist, here you go.
I’ll just quote the headline. Feel free to raise your blood pressure by reading the rest.
31 March 2025’s Doonesbury (bottom of Page 1) is pretty good, too. Check out the new symbols (xymbolx?) for Muxk and hix Firxtie.
Please stop doing that.
I concur. I didn’t think it would be possible for anything to eclipse “Drumpf” in terms of cringe nicknames for him, but sticking X’s into everything just makes it legitimately hard to read.
Well, you warned us; I can already feel the agita creeping in.
Are they simply not even offering up fig leaves anymore? Not that all this anti DEI bullshit is much of a cover, but what the feck does Jackie Robinson have to do with DEI? If you want to hold repugnant, racist views then say it out loud and proud. Write up that executive order that denies the existence of poc and (most) women.
I hope someone somewhere is squirreling away records of all the history these dumbshits are trying to destroy. We can make two time capsules; one for the preservation of the truth and the other filled with a manifest of all the evil donnie and his government wrought upon the world.
Just to quibble, I’d see that as just one capsule, given that the preservation of the truth should require the documenting all the evil that Trump has wrought.
Simple. He was black, and claiming that any black person is the equal, much less superior of a white man at anything is “DEI” because it ignores the fundamental “truth” that white males are superior to everyone else in every way, and the only people who have contributed anything of note to the world in all of human history. Therefore, all accomplishments by non-whites and women must be erased from history since by definition they are lies.
Heck, I’m waiting for them to erase not only the teachigs of Jesus (what with those being so woke) but also to erase the Man Himself from everything once they figure out He was Jewish. I don’t think it will be a long wait.
Nah, Jesus hated the Jews too.
