Trump announces 25% tariff on all imported cars and car parts

[/B]
DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors is moving to increase production of light-duty trucks at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, assembly plant, it said in a webcast sent to plant employees on Thursday and viewed by Reuters.

The Fort Wayne plant makes the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, which GM also manufactures at plants in Mexico and Canada.

The Detroit automaker may also add overtime days to the schedule, plant director Dennys Pimenta told employees in the webcast.

GM said in a statement on Thursday that it will hire temporary workers for the Fort Wayne assembly plant, saying that will be part of "operational adjustments" at the plant "to support current manufacturing and business needs."

A company source said several hundred temporary workers will be hired to increase employment at the plant.

GM said that to implement the changes at Fort Wayne, the plant will be taken down from April 22-25, following the Easter holiday.

All this means is that trucks are gonna be more expensive to cover the costs of US labor. If wages stay stagnant, and no way a GOP administration will increase wages, then lots of people who used to be able to afford trucks, won't be able too now.

Hiring "several hundred temporary workers" isn't even news worthy.

So like 300 hundred part time guys who will be released about a few months

Nor does it specify if they're American workers or those on Visas :confusedshrug:

Literally what I was about to say, now let's wait and see what the prices are with that move.

What’s the significance of this? :lol

Trump literally ran on lowering prices for everyone...every policy he has enacted does the exact opposite. Everyone is screwed and the only people who will benefit from this aside from the oligarch robber barons, and they certainly don't deserve it, is the Democratic Party. There's been massive shifts in the elections that have been held recently already, and if we do indeed have a recession, the GOP's hold on absolute power will be short lived. Meanwhile though, we will all have to take a big bite out of this shit sandwich served up by the Don.

Nah, thanks for your input but I just recently bought a 2025 Volkswagen Virtus Highline. Nothing to really brag about but it sure beats that dumpy 96 Chevy Cavalier you're rolling around on.

Ummmmmmm.... more vehicles being made in America which means less being made in Messico and Canada.

Thought you were smarter than that, unless you're just joining your crowd.

He ran on tarrifs also. It was known well before election day that was the case. Like it's been said, short term pain for long term gain. You can speculate all you want about what's allegedly going to happen moving forward but the bottom line is it's nothing more than speculation.

You believe this is actually a legit issue because Trump told you it was.

He's a senile old man terrified of minorities, what a life. Probably causing all sorts of trouble at the nursing home

I bought a big bmx bike on Friday. It’s just a bmx bike with 26 inch tires pretty much. A buddy of mine told me about them last week. I was looking around and they were sold out everywhere but I finally found a place that had some. It’s super fun.[/QUOTE]
