The Mexican plant doesnât make the same cars as the US plant. They couldnât retool that fast to shirt the HR-V away from mexico.
Do they build cars for the US market anywhere else overseas?
Iâm not sure that proves your suggestion any more than mine.
I think US auto makers - and other manufacturers using foreign parts - are pushing hard to produce a ton here before the tariffs hit their foreign made components. That would require beefing up staff.
Doesnât make sense, imported parts can just be stocked up without assembling until itâs needed.
If you were using draw slides made in MexicoâŠwould you just stock up with those slides for future use or increase production building cabinets?
There is currently a mad rush to buy cars pre-tariff, so I think itâs in their interest to make as many cars now as possible.
But yeah, they could just shell out for the parts and keep production that sameâŠwho knows.
Itâs good that manufacturing jobs are up. Hope it lasts.
If there was increased demand for cabinets today, I would be doing both.
Sure, but if parts are going up 25 percentâŠstock up before hand.
Also in some cases, finish product will take up more space. So it wouldnât be beneficial.
Cabinets, huh?
Well, I got some good news and some bad news for ya.
The bad news is that when people donât buy homes,
they donât buy stuff to put in those homes.
(The good news is that little green arrow at the end.)
Thatâs actually not quite true. When people arenât buying new homes, residential remodeling does well - assuming the reason no one is buying homes is not a recession.
IOW, when real estate is a sellers market, people donât move, they improve.
Edit - I donât think residential remodeling generates enough action to show up on national graphsâŠ
I am sure that is some subpart of the market,
but the numbers show that people buy furniture, furnishings, appliances and electronics when they move . . . and buy them a lot less when they donât.
That might a a coincidence (eg if the underlying cause of both is low interest rate or whatever,) but the correlation is a strong one.
TrueâŠin fact thatâs perfect to to upgrade/update.
Oh yeah - Iâm sure itâs a much small part of the over all totals.
âTariffs charged to the USA?â Trump really doesnât understand how tariffs work. Or what reciprocal means. At least thereâs now a chart to prove it.
I believe he understands it little better then you do.
From what I can see
-
No tariff imposed by that dastardly anti-free trader guy in the Whitehouse is higher than the pure loving angelic tariffs helpful wonderful tariffs others imposed against us.
-
most of the tariffs imposed by the WH are â HALF<-- the size of the tariffs already imposed against us.
.
.

Wouldnât it be funny if the WH released this long-awaited release and the American media ignored it but instead âreportedâ by re-re-recycling their anti Trump narrative saying absolutely nothing new?
He obviously doesnât. When a tariff if applied, who pays the tariff? The importing or exporting country? When the US implements a 26% tariff on India will it be those in India or those in the US who will pay that 26%? Who is âchargedâ with paying the tariff?
His six bankruptcies and double digit failed ventures make me think he has no idea what heâs doing. His lack of knowledge as to the basics of a tariff furthers that.
People believe the numbers on that sheet are the actual tariffs imposed by foreign nations? Where is the data used to come up with those numbers?
