The leader of the free world is branding anyone without a Tesla part of the radical left lunatics

Do they like the free market or not?

[Jupiter]

I thought it was only loony lefties who bought Teslas.

I'm probably too loony to understand but where do tariffs fit in with uncontrolled free market capitalism?

The market will decide.

Usually?

Was it nae on the wall of Animal Farm (capitalist edit) “The unfettered capitalist ideal of the free market will prevail - until protectionism through tariffs is necessary to maintain our levels of greed and wealth-hoovering, suckers”?

200% tariff on EU booze to protect the US champagne business

Id imagine if Joe Biden had said that, a few posters on here would have something to say about it

You think he can't get any worse and yet he does. The worrying thing is we are only 2 months into his term and another near 4 years to go.

It might soon be cheaper to buy a Tesla than a bottle of Scotch Whisky.

You do realize that there is no tariff on Scotch Whisky. The tariff is for goods from the EU, .

That did make me chuckle- US Champagne- the level of idiocy that governs in the states seems to cross the full political spectrum

Unfortunately I have little hope this side of the pond either

He took his time but thats another Dandy on the planet. Hes a handsome wee boy who already hates Dundee Utd, so well chuffed

If you ever need your faith in humanity restored, the staff in the RAH in Paisley provide a wonderful service. We were there across three shift changes and every single one of them were amazing. Good humoured, knowledgeable, helpful and extremely professional under difficult circumstances.

Congratulations to both you and your Wife. Hope she is doing well.

A little Mason in the world! Remember when he's learning his words, it's chipper!
