Januar Land Rover suspends shipments to US in April over tariffs.

From the hardcopy lede at The New York Times. Short and sweet:
"Is #Trump's Plan To Revitalize #Manufacturing Even Possible?"
No answer here. Biz Opinions.
The answer IS 
NO! Unless executives and investors would voluntarily cut their profits by, conjecturing, 80-90%. NOT gonna happen voluntarily.
Solution. Shoot the billionaires into the sun on Elon's space dick and redistribute their looted wealth.
That WOULD work

![Heather Cox Richardson Economic Creationism 4/3/2025
Today, former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers posted: “It’s now clear that the [Trump] Administration computed reciprocal tariffs without using tariff data. This is to economics what creationism is to biology, astrology is to astronomy, or RFK thought is to vaccine science. The Trump tariff policy makes little sense EVEN if you believe in protectionist mercantilist economics.”
Editor of The American Prospect David Dayen notes that there is no apparent policy behind the tariffs, no thought, for example, as to whether itis even possible for the U.S. to ramp up the kind of domestic manufacturing Trump claims to want. While Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CBS, “You’re going to see employment leaping starting today,” in fact, both automaker Stellantis and appliance manufacturer Whirlpool announced layoffs because of the tariffs.
Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo points out that building and establishing a new plant in the U.S. will take a minimum of three to five years even if investors are inclined to support one, but Victoria Guida reported in Politico that corporate executives are saying they cannot invest in manufacturing until they can project costs, and Trump is far too unpredictable to enable them to do that with any confidence.](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/280/220/378/826/075/original/a4cdbe385ee9da88.jpeg "Heather Cox Richardson Economic Creationism 4/3/2025

Trump says taxing imports will strengthen domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that.
