[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So won't this help climate change?[/quote] It actually won't. It will encourage people to keep old, used cars for longer periods of time. They will be unsafe and more polluting relative to newer cars. Not a joke - if you keep these tariffs on for decades, the American roads will start to look like Cuba. Old cars from the 1990s and 2000s being constantly fixed by poorer Americans who can't afford $50-80K for a new minivan, SUV, or truck. [/quote] This is the norm in most developing countries. I noticed it in the Bahamas that most people were driving around early 2000s beaters. [/quote] That's because they are on an island and it costs $$$$ to bring a car on the island between shipping fees and government taxes/tariffs. So they import used cars from the U.S. that are 10 years old and have 130,000 miles that are cheap to acquire (but still expensive to import). [/quote]
