15% tariffs means less demand in US -> Less demand means cheaper prices in EU.

Will that not decrease the market for US cars in EU because the EU cars will become cheaper? I may be missing something.

Saying tariffs are bad or good is ideological, true, but saying tariffs will increase inflation and prices is just a fact, it is not connected to ideology.

Winter is not coming

He was irresponsible with them, instead of doing drugs he should have been making children and increasing shareholder value.... /s

Hese cats look AI generated (I know they are not, cats are just strange)

I remember when not being a fashist was a virtue....

I do agree that the people that need cars now just have no other choice, but we must keep that into perspective. What I am trying to say it that the "no cars" viewpoint looks extremist only from our current angel.

Compare it to gun culture in the US. If you propose removing all guns people there will go crazy, but at the same time the people having guns where I live(Eastern Europe) are seen as a but strange and maybe a bit dangerous.

About the emergency I hate it is that way, I hope it gets better because that works only until both your parents can drive and that will not always be the case as you can see in my example.

I was meaning it in a much more lighthearted manner my dude.

My parents and grandparents are in the same position as yours, but you have to see the other side of this coin too. My grandpa was almost blind(had surgery is better now) and 80+. He has to drive because there is no other form of transportation. I love him with all my heart but this is not safe he knows it, we know it, but there is just no other option. This is what the "we need cars for remote villages" argument leads to.

About the ambulance argument, this is just fucked and I hope illegal in most places. And cars will do absolutely nothing to help there. If you are having a medical emergency the last thing you should be doing is drive yourself to the hospital.

Being in a place with half decent public transport should not be a privilege, but a right and we should treat it as infringement of that right to not have public transport.

I like the idea

Why are we (the EU) happy with 15% tariffs from the US when they just pulled them out of their ass?
