Good evening. It's 10PM, Wednesday, 2nd April. The headlines: A BBC crew has arrived in quake-hit Mandalay. President #Trump is set to declare worldwide #tariffs, with a 25% duty on imported #cars, at 21:00 GMT. Europe anticipates the repercussions. In Britain, more than half of butterfly species are experiencing a prolonged fall. Actor Val Kilmer has passed away at 65 due to pneumonia following a fight with throat #cancer. #BBC #News
This is good. Keep it going.

Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...
I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.
I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.
What the fuck can possibly go wrong? Reminder why I like my #cars are dumb as possible.

Business was already tough for auto parts maker Asahi Tekko, but with U.S. car tariffs due to bite this week, its president has a simple message for Donald Trump: "Give me a break." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/02/companies/trump-tariffs-japan-auto-sector/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #usjapanrelations #tariffs #trade #donaldtrump #shigeruishiba #carmakers #cars #tradewar
Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.
Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.
