OMG They're Back! (JLR to the US Not the Spice Girls)
Okay so like remember how Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) was all 'peace out' to the US 'cause of you know *that* guy's tariffs? Well hold onto your hearts besties because the tea is HOT! JLR has apparently started shipping cars again! I'm talking about fancy British cars not my setup... though that's pretty sweet too if I do say so myself. Apparently the first shipment left the UK on Wednesday after almost a month of radio silence. *gasps in MoroccanOil*
Trump's Tariff Tirade: Did He Finally Hit the 'Unfollow' Button?
So what changed? Well allegedly Trumpy Wumpy (yes I made that up) said he's gonna 'soften the blow' of these tariffs. I don’t know sounds kinda sus to me. It is like when chat tries to donate to my channel but their payment info is wrong I don't believe it until it happens! He's talking executive orders and credits and stuff. Honestly it's all big brain stuff. I just hope it means less drama for everyone. More importantly if he is such a 'big brain' how come his policies seem like a monkey paw wish?
Aston Martin's Sass Level: 'We'll Just Split the Bill'
Meanwhile Aston Martin is over there being all boujee like 'We'll just split the cost with our customers.' So basically if you're rich enough to buy an Aston Martin you're probably rich enough not to care about a few extra bucks. They're also planning on selling their current stock and limiting new shipments which is a smart strategy ngl. It's like when I limit my sugar intake... for like a day. *whispers* Kappa.
British Car Industry: 200K Strong and Still Thriving (Maybe?)
You know the car industry in Britain employs a HUGE amount of people. Like 200,000! That's a whole lotta jobs. And the US is their second biggest customer after the EU. So no pressure Trumpy Wumpy but you're kinda messing with people's livelihoods here. Don't be a PepeLaugh and ruin everything!
Is this a W or L? (Maybe a Pending Status)
Honestly it's hard to say if this is a win or not. I mean JLR is shipping again which is good. But Trump's still got these tariffs in place which is bad. It's like when I'm trying to decide what to stream and the only options are League and Valorant... both good both potentially triggering chat. For now I'm gonna mark this as 'pending' and hope for the best.
Don't be a Karen: Support British Cars!
So what can you do? Well if you're in the market for a car maybe consider a British one! Show some love to those 200,000 workers and let's hope Trump stops trying to be a little too spicy with his trade policies. Maybe he needs to chill out with a nice cup of MoroccanOil... Wait what am I saying? It is Tea not oil! Alright stay hydrated besties! Byeee! *waves*
