We have recognised from the beginning that America has changed, and that we will not return to our old relationship. Our government understood, before many, that America is altering all its trade relationships. Putting tariffs on its closest allies and charging for access to its vast market.
I dealt with somebody like that before. I had an old Honda in amazing shape, but occasionally it refused to start and bringing it to the dealer found nothing and they would start it finem. But I had a family and another car so it was time to get rid of it.
I put it up for sale as is and $200. Some guy gave me $50 deposit, then later wanted to only pay $150 total. I took both front seats out and told him he could come get it for $150 or have his deposit back.
He came and towed it. $200 was a steal of a deal and he tried to be a dick.
I donated the seats to the local auto-wrecker, so the guy searching around would find them and them probably pay $50 per seat.
