And you should. Remember the age old adage:

Our educational system, from top to bottom, is in the dumper largely due to self absorbed lightweights in academia.

Ironic to claim I was talking down to you by insinuating I teach 9th graders, which is as incorrect as your previous statements. What I stated is a fact, using ChatGPT as a reference is worse than using Wikipedia. Just because you don't agree, doesn't make it so. The conclusion you drew, that BMW will just absorb whatever tariffs are imposed, based on ChatGTP, then arguing my statement is laughable.

You practice law, cool, I have a "D" at the end of my degree too.

Deploy broad tariffs, increase costs of everything, prime everyone for an initiative to end income taxes. If this is the plan, I wouldn’t expect any carve-outs, though BMW would be one of the most likely to get one approved.

Swapping income taxes with tariff revenue is bad policy that dramatically shifts the tax burden from the wealthy to the very consumers who make the US economy the best in the world. Basically, trickle-down economics on steroids. Add retaliatory tariffs, and you have an immediate reduction in demand for US exports that will kill US jobs now, while we wait years for our new tariff policy to bring some back.

When you artificially pull out so much money from the most active part of the economy (just to give it to the government, who will almost certainly misuse it), it’s hard to see how this could possibly end well.

I did not draw any conclusions; way to strawman. And look, more blanket statements.. Have a nice rest of your weekend.
