"But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla"
What is an illegal boycott? Do we not live in America where we can decide what to purchase.

And if we do temporary damage for longer term gains is it worth it?

I think the negotiating tool argument is the best argument for tariffs. But I'm not sure even if we achieved our goals it is worth the harm that this exercise has already caused. The tariffs that Canada has in place are permitted based on the trade treaty we have with them. We agreed to this. Why would anyone make a deal with a country that goes back on the deals it made in the not-so-distant past. What we've done has not only hurt our own people it has sparked this backlash in Canada and elsewhere. Maybe for some it is worth the dopamine hit. But I think we'll ultimately regret the ill will this has caused.

Meanwhile, they are reneging on the deal with their oppressive tariffs.
Trump is wanting an even playing field.
Correction - He wants even playing fields with good faith actors that don't allow the CCP to effectively take over their country.
Until the CCP is destroyed we will not have 'free' trade.
This whole mindset is that the optimum goal is market efficiencies and disregard the concept of a country.
Not the future I want. Not sustainable in the limit.

What happens when inflation is low / groceries are cheaper / gas is cheaper / Americans are actually teh ones getting new jobs / debt is refinanced at lower rates?
The noise of Q1/Q2 25 will be forgotten in the run up to the midterms everything is going to be running so smoothly.

Acting executive Secretary. That means she works under Marco RUbio right as he's Acting Administrator of USAID right?
So what's Marco trying to get rid of?
Yeah I’m sure this is the right angle to take but leave it to zito to take a complete bat**** crazy position.

Low interest rates aren't a sign of a strong economy.
The whole point of lowering the interest rate is to stimulate the economy. You're basically admitting by saying "wiat til the rate reduction" that the economy is going to ****. Last time we had a huge reduction in rates it was in 2020.

True or false, Marco Rubio is acting executive administrator of USAID?
True or false, this email came from Acting Executive Secretary?
Did Rubio appoint this person? Is this person a vestige of the previous administration?
The things you think are so laughably wrong I love interacting with you.
“Lower” interest rates / lower yields so that debt can be refinanced and we have lower debt service costs.

Seems like they were appointed or allowed to continue to act in an important role, aka Acting. Acting implies that they're doing it for now because the previous person quit was fired. I'd expect an expert in corporations like yourself to know that.
Ah so they are just a vestige of the previous admin and are now trying to shred any evidence. Got it.
