Love that scene!
Given that car parts come from everywhere, I'd think that if we slapped tariffs on everything cars would get more expensive.
And the 'free trade' agreements really aren't. You'd think I could simply ship stuff to Canada like anywhere else, but that sure isn't so. Extra paperwork and steps, lots of extra fees, border delays, it could be much more efficient.
China, those thieves. Let's get'em

True. 'Cuz you know the last thing they're gonna do is bring any of that work here. Much easier to just raise prices to cover the increased tariffs. And, if the increase happens across the board, which it would, no one loses market share to any competitors.
Bastards.
