Well he won’t go far.

Cancelled before the interview, didn’t bail in the middle of it.

Again, what the hell are you on about. No conversation can be had when you ram what you want to read into people’s mouths, instead of reading what they actually say. Read what I have already written. Ciao.

What the hell are you about. I think this is a case of projection, you are disheartened so you project it on to others.

I’m just saying/observing/analyzing that it’s nothing of consequence. People expect the Dems to magically solve the Trump problem (all this “why don’t they do something??”) and I’m saying they can’t do anything of consequence.

Push back politically, not with stupid taunting smack talk. “What are you going to do, stab me?” - man that was stabbed. Let him get distracted with the next thing in the world.

Sigh. That’s not political. That’s stupid smack talk. That’s fucking asking him to do it. “What are you going to do, stab me?” - man that was stabbed.

If they were pressured into a merger by the Japanese government, what is the path forward? You could a) wind down Nissan or b) solve their major problem by putting Honda engines and transmissions in them. Which also brings their engine r&d cost to 0.

Yeah you do that politically and militarily. Not with taunting and snarky hockey comments.

I agree, I’m just saying that’s what I would have seen them doing. See my other comment that the rumor was Japanese government pressured them into it.

Honda could have put honda engines in them and let Nissan just do their own styling.

Not much point in assembly plants for ICE cars. Why pay for what’s essentially a warehouse.

Lol it’s not cowering. It’s letting Trump get distracted by something else. Lots of people here are 14 and very badass. A literal war is not out of the question and Canada would lose. “What are you going to do, stab me?” - Man that was stabbed. Trudeau would be better to just let Trump get distracted by the next thing.

At the start of this I heard ideas that the Japanese government was pressuring them so that Nissan stock (held by many retirement funds) didn’t go to 0.

Seriously? No, not adding more fuel means NOT ADDING MORE FUEL. Let Trump get distracted with the next thing, god knows there’s enough, and let this thing peter out.

And so you are a stick in the mud. Thanks, lets me know who I’m conversing with. Not worth it. Ciao.

And this isn’t helping. It’s only adding fuel to the fire. FFS, why are you so intent on being a stick in the mud.

Being offended is not quickly forgotten. Ever hear the phrase “it’s not what you say, it’s how you make people feel”? That’s because emotions are held for a loonngg time. Next time tariffs come up it’s just a feeling of “Trudeau’s an asshole, fuck him and Canada”.

There is only so much effort companies can do, they might just continue their focus on other markets.

Jeez we have rolling 30 day delays in tariff wars. Trump is stupid in lots of ways but you/he doesn’t lose sight of being slighted that quickly. How long was it between Obama mocking him at the dinner and him running for president? Lot more than 12 hours.
