Forget tariffs, DEI and woke libtards,' said a US government spokesman, 'we're going after lazy musicians now.'  The United States is famous for raising musicians in all musical fields but someone in the White House has realised that drummers are 'lazy, good for nothing, idle drum beaters' based on the observation that most drummers are sat down throughout every concert.  'Singers, gee-tar players, those that play that long gee-tar with missing strings, they all spend the whole concert standing up like real Americans.  Doggone drummers are just woke,' said the spokesman.



He confirmed that the order to target drummers had been signed by an elderly gentleman who appears to spend his days sitting down signing things.  'He's next,' confirmed the spokesman.


The US auto business is in big trouble because of the Trump Tariff Tempest.  Even the good ole boys at Ford and GM are hit hard because all car manufacturers rely on a global supply chain.



US auto-makers costs have just rocketed, and they are desperate to keep costs down.   So they will rush to replace foreign parts with locally sourced parts.  Or they will use domestic parts designed for one model instead of the correct part from overseas.



What does this mean?  It means that all of that careful design and engineering work goes out the window.  And American cars will be a horrible kludge of mashed up kit that is the best that they could get from their US suppliers, KMart and Walmart.   You can throw away your Haynes manuals right now!

 On the plus side, your car will be delivered already customised, and each one will be entirely unique.  And anything you do to it is unlikely to make anything worse.


Your best chance of buying a car that is built as its designers intended is probably to buy Chinese. Or a restored Morris Minor. 


C5, anyone?
