European Union (EU) currently imposes a 10% tariff on imported American cars. While the EU's average tariff on U.S. non-agricultural products is much lower (1.6%), this 10% tariff on cars stands out. The United States, in contrast, applies a lower tariff of 2.4% on car imports from other countries, including the EU.  In the early 1990s, China made the dramatic decision to place 100% tariffs on all car imports and to ban used car imports. That shut the door on everything built overseas. Prohibitive tariffs forced global automakers to manufacture cars inside China if they wanted to sell to Chinese buyers. That meant bringing capital and technology. And it meant training, ultimately, millions of Chinese managers and workers. Eventually, every major automaker in the world invested in China to sell cars in China. That was the price of admission.

I thought this sale was deadline before Easter.🤔

Bloke those huge tariffs on China are designed to get China to the negotiating table , just a starting point not the finished size of the tariff .  In 2024, the U.S. imported $462.5 billion in goods and services from China and exported $199.2 billion, resulting in a $263.3 billion trade deficit.8 Apr 2025

After Immersive won the 2024 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), many thought trainer Brad Cox and Godolphin might have a future Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner in the barn.  And now they do—only the Oaks winner isn't Immersive; it's Good Cheer.View the full article

Thanks for the post We're doomed. Just to say leggy has two sides, I had no issue with him for years, until he took private messages from me to him and posted them on another forum. In my opinion that was not a decent thing to do, despite trying to resolve it he as he can be dug his heels in so I moderated him. He then joined as someone else to get around the moderation, something that is being addressed going forward, and got caught out being decietful While I appreciate your comments I will not be walked on or disrespected by people who mostly are not brave enough to say some of the things said unless hidden by an alias. As long as I provide the platform here out of my own pocket and as always has been, then sorry but I do not care who they are elsewhere how they behave here is all that matters to me. Everyone has good contributions to add to various discussions and I do try to be fair and balanced but when you get abuse and deceit as with Leggy sorry I can not cop that. Yes there will be some changes going forward so the nameless faceless posters who try to be aggressive will need to be more careful. We have over 8,000 active users here, and I try to keep everyone happy, but people like Doug and sorry anyone else who does not like the way the forum is conducted can just move on. I will always do my best to keep all the majority of great posters here happy, but if my best is not good enough then they can gladly move on.  

However when he made his freudian slip (cock-up) and posted under Racingoutsider I was horrified because he had us all believing that Racingoutsider was Colin Wightman and that’s not kosher. Whether or not it’s dishonest is questionable but put another way he certainly wasn’t being honest. He has shown evidence of twice correcting posters, stating that he doesn't know who this Colin person is.

The President of the United States is a member of this club. Hard to imagine…… The story the American system doesn’t want you to hear. One of the many reasons I’m posting this at 2:17am. I no longer sleep. I left my career as a stockbroker due to sexual assault in my workplace. Monsters are real. Many of them wear fancy suits. The fact that so many people think he is a “good man” is utterly horrifying. He is VILE. He is EVIL. If you still support him, you are in a sick CULT. My apologies go out to our allies around the globe. If we somehow survive this dark chapter, I hope you will “take us back” once we restore sanity and decency in our leadership… A thirteen-year-old girl accused a man of rape. Not just any man, but a billionaire. A man who would go on to hold the most powerful office in the world. It should have stopped him. It should have mattered, but it didn’t. In 2016, as Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency, a woman using the name Katie Johnson filed a lawsuit claiming that, at age 13, she had been raped multiple times by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein at one of Epstein’s parties at his New York City apartment. She was a child in a room with two of the most dangerous men in the country. She came forward. She tried. The case was withdrawn—not because she lied or because her story fell apart, but because she was terrified. Lisa Bloom, her attorney, confirmed that Katie received threats. Not warnings or gossip, but threats. She was supposed to hold a press conference and be heard. Instead, she disappeared. She disconnected her phone. Her story didn’t die because it was untrue. It died because she was alone. How Many Times Have We Seen This Before? Katie Johnson was not the first. She will not be the last. Sixteen women have publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual assault or misconduct. One said he raped her in a dressing room. Another said he forced himself on her when she was a child. Others said he groped them, kissed them without consent, grabbed them in pageant dressing rooms. He denied every single one, and he called them liars. He said they were making it up for attention and then ran for president. He won. E. Jean Carroll came forward decades after Trump raped her in a department store dressing room. The world laughed. He called her a liar. A jury found him guilty of sexual abuse, but it didn’t matter. He still walked free. Bill Cosby’s victims spent years screaming into the void before anyone listened. Harvey Weinstein silenced his accusers with money and threats. The Catholic Church buried thousands of child abuse cases. Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran an international trafficking ring that catered to the most powerful men in the world. They went down, but their clients walked free. Larry Nassar was trusted with the bodies of young girls—Olympians, gymnasts, children—while he molested them under the guise of medical treatment. They told their coaches, trainers, and officials. Nobody wanted to hear them. The institution and money were more important. By the time Nassar was finally held accountable, hundreds of girls had already been abused. Jerry Sandusky was a legend at Penn State. He molested young boys for decades. People knew. A man saw him rape a child in the showers and told his superiors. Nothing happened. The program was worth too much. The coach was too valuable. The child was a footnote. The pattern repeats itself—victims come forward, their voices are questioned, and the powerful walk away unscathed. The Names, The Stories, The Silence Kristin Anderson sat in a Manhattan bar in the 1990s when a man next to her reached up her skirt and touched her vagina through her underwear. She turned and recognized the man as Donald Trump. E. Jean Carroll met Trump in a department store in 1995 or 1996. She described him pushing her into a dressing room, forcing his fingers inside her, then his penis. Rachel Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist in 2005 when she met Trump in an office building. He grabbed her, pulled her in, and kissed her on the mouth. Jessica Leeds sat next to Trump on a plane in the early 1980s. He kissed her, groped her chest, and reached up her skirt. She moved to another seat in coach. “He was like an octopus,” she said. Summer Zervos was an Apprentice contestant in 2007. She met Trump at a Beverly Hills hotel to discuss a job opportunity. Instead, he grabbed her breasts, kissed her, and tried to lead her into a bedroom. Temple Taggart McDowell was Miss Utah USA in 1997. Trump kissed her without consent on two separate occasions. Four other women said Trump walked in on them while they were undressing at pageants. Buzzfeed reported three more women confirmed the pageant stories but refused to go public. The allegations span decades, from the early 1980s to 2013. The stories follow the same pattern—Trump is accused of forcing himself on women—groping them, kissing them without consent—only to deny every allegation, dismiss his accusers as liars, and claim they are politically motivated This is how the system works. This is how men like Trump win. Power and Silence: How the System Protects Its Own Trump didn’t need to prove his innocence. He only needed time. He dragged the case out, making it too difficult to pursue, and let the system work in his favor. This is what he has always done. A man who used lawsuits as weapons, who crushed his enemies in court, who buried his mistakes with money and threats. A child did not stand a chance. The powerful do not have to answer for their sins. The system was built for them. Trump bragged about grabbing women. Nothing happened. Dozens of women accused him of assault. Nothing happened. A child accused him of rape, and the case vanished before it could even begin. Had we listened to Katie Johnson, had we listened to any of them, maybe we would not be here now. Trump didn’t rise in spite of these accusations; he rose in a system that proved power could erase them. His ability to face multiple allegations without consequence only reinforced his authority. The American Double Standard The U.S. government condemns foreign dictators for human rights abuses but lets its own elite operate without consequence. It calls out corruption abroad but allows billionaires to buy their way out of justice. It punishes nations for failing to protect their citizens but lets its own children be silenced, erased, and ignored. How does a country that lets the rich escape accountability claim to stand for democracy? How does a nation that refuses to believe survivors call itself a defender of freedom? America calls itself a beacon of justice. Justice for whom? If We Don’t Change, This Will Keep Happening This is not just about one man. There will always be another Trump. Another Epstein. Another Cosby. Another Weinstein. Another Sandusky. Another Nassar. Another name added to the list of powerful men who used power as a shield while their victims carried the weight alone. If the justice system cannot hold them accountable, then what hope is there for anyone else?

We’re Doomed. For what it’s worth I also post from time to time on the other thread.  Basically I agree with everything you have said.  Leggy/Curious is a generally a knowledgeable poster and his generosity last Saturday was exceptional. From time to time he is too much of a know-all but aren’t we all 😂? In the past when he has pissed me off, I have put a “self imposed ban” on myself, so as to not let him really wind me up.  However when he made his freudian slip (cock-up) and posted under Racingoutsider I was horrified because he had us all believing that Racingoutsider was Colin Wightman and that’s not kosher. Whether or not it’s dishonest is questionable but put another way he certainly wasn’t being honest.
