I should probably recuse myself on this one, as a survivor of 2 heart attacks, open heart surgery, a stent, and congestive heart failure, it's a little bit personal for me.

"Ms. Hasenfratz said the costs of the tariffs will be borne by her customers — car makers — who require highly specialized components. It can take 12 to 18 months to source and engineer alternative parts, she said in an interview.

“It would just create an exorbitant amount of cost, and our customers can’t afford to absorb that,” Ms. Hasenfratz said in an interview Saturday. “Consumers certainly aren’t going pay it, so demand will disintegrate. So in my opinion, it wouldn’t be more than a week before we would see vehicle production in North America grind to a halt, and that means millions of people laid off, the majority of which would be in the U.S., and I can’t see how that’s a good thing for America.”"

Officially blaming the aircraft incident in D.C., without founding, on DEI:

"This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous “diversity equity and inclusion” tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with “severe intellectual” disabilities in the FAA."
