The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

VW built some rather eccentric models in Brazil in the 70s and 80s. I was wondering what the actual tariff rate was, now that a court, some weeks ago,overturned many individual country tariffs. A Brazilian car restoration and export company I follow on FB, "Kombi Warriors", posted they were shipping another Toyota HiLux to Houston. I asked them what the current, all up, US rate for Brazilian cars was now. Their reply "52%" *koff* I can't even begin to imagine the lust that guy in Houston has for a HiLux, that he will pay that tariff.
