Tariffs Driving Car Sales Bonanza or Impending Doom! A Witcher's Take!

A Storm of Steel and...Tariffs?

Right so I'm hearing rumblings in the taverns – louder than Dandelion's lute playing mind you. Seems humans are in a right state over these 'tariffs' on their horseless carriages. Apparently these metal beasts are getting pricier than a night with a succubus and they're buying them like they're about to go extinct. More fool them if you ask me a good Roach is far better than any metal contraption.

The Numbers Don't Lie (Unless Someone's Using Igni)

This 'Cox Automotive' lot says new cars are flying off the lots faster than a griffin on a windy day. Used ones too. Less than 40 days’ supply they reckon. I've seen more ghouls in a graveyard than that. It appears humans are actually running to buy more goods when the goods become costly it's absurd. Jonathan Smoke some economist is saying that consumers are trying to get ahead of tariffs and the decline in supply is the largest in several years. Humans will do anything to avoid the inevitable like trying to outrun a Leshen. It never works.

Profits Up Sanity Down

Of course the car peddlers are grinning like fiends at a feast. More coin in their pockets. Good for them I suppose. But this 'Telemetry' says fewer vehicles will be sold later. Sounds like a classic case of short term gain for long term pain. Like using Igni to light a candle when you're surrounded by dry hay. Idiotic.

Trump's Two Cents: Worth Less Than a Rusty Orenn?

This Trump fellow the one who seems to control all the world's politics says he wants to 'help' the car companies. How? By making things even more confusing I wager. Politicians and promises eh? Like a Doppler selling you a cursed amulet you never know what you're really getting. The man's auto tariffs will cut sales by millions of dollars.

Employee Pricing? More Like Desperate Measures

Some car companies are offering 'employee pricing' to clear out their inventory. Sounds like they are more desperate than Yennefer is for a certain magical artifact. Nick Anderson some general manager is noting the consumers are more price conscious which lowers their profits. I will take my earnings in gold not losses thank you.

The Witcher's Verdict: Buckle Up It's Gonna Be Bumpy

So what's the moral of the story? Humans are predictable in their panic. They fear change more than a silver sword. This tariff business sounds like a right mess. Just remember no matter how fancy your horseless carriage it won't save you from a well placed crossbow bolt or a hungry griffin. Now if you'll excuse me I've got a date with a bottle of Kaedweni Stout and a less complicated problem... like a drowners' nest.
