Oh yes it'll go on for a long time and might never return to the previous state.
American products got world wide recognition in a time when USA was the peak of western culture, technology and quality.
With or without tariffs and boycotts, people everywhere in the world will once again have to question if they even want America products. This doesn't go well with the increased consumer awareness that is happening everywhere else but in USA.
UK turning down clorinated American chickens is the funniest thing today, like eew brother, eew what's that?
Somewhere between 17-19, but only on the Northern hemisphere.
One thing I've learned is that humans are very much alike everywhere, both good and bad, but mostly in a good way. I will never understand racism or patriotism. Borders are artificial.
Because Denmark is a democracy and the people on Greenland has voted towards independence. Denmark is not keeping them from seceding, but their economy has kept them from doing it before.
An independence referendum has not been done yet, but once they do it, Denmark will most likely accept the outcome without objections. Iceland did the same thing in 1918.
It's not shown on the list of NATO members because it's not a separate country. Other islands like Bornholm and Zealand are obviously also not shown, because they are Denmark. So is Greenland. They are not independent, though both Denmark and Greenland has worked towards that in many years.
Greenland was part of NATO since the beginning, and you could even argue that it was before that, because the collaboration between Denmark and USA on military control of Greenland predates NATO.
Forget about braking distance. The reaction time is the difference between life and dying before you even know it.
I know of one example where a motorcyclist killed himself that way.
Nobody knows how fast he was going but it's assumed above 250 km/h, on a regular highway. Down the road is a cross section. A lorry was fully stopped at the crossing and preparing to turn right onto the highway in the same direction as the motorcycle. The lorry driver checked both directions and saw that the road was completely clear as far as the eye could see, hundreds of meters.
A split second later he heard a bump and pulled over to check if he had hit an animal or something. He found a massive hole in the back and the debris from a motorcycle.
There was no brake marks or anything indicating that the motorcycle had even attempted to brake or steer around.
The theory is that the motorcyclist might have glimpsed at the speedometer or something for long enough that he drove the entire visible distance before being able to even react.
Obviously he was a fault himself, but the point is that at speeds like this, you no longer have any capability to predict what happens next.
If your friend thinks that cool, he might as well play Russian roulette. At least that doesn't put innocent people in danger.
VAT is (almost) the same idea as American sales tax.
The difference is only how it is managed in wholesale, how it is displayed to consumers in retail and obviously the rates. Otherwise it's the exact same thing.
European stores show the price including the tax, whereas American stores show it without taxes.
The VAT rates are generally higher in Europe than the sales tax in states, but this is not the explanation for the car prices.
Cars are more expensive in Europe due to other kinds of taxes.
Germany is actually one of the cheaper countries for vehicles, because they don't have vehicle registration taxes, but they do have an import toll of 10% on cars.
The same price increases happens the other way too. A European car will be more expensive in USA than in Europe for the same reasons.
By temporary and quiet, I think the previous poster means: The reason why there has not been more resistance or assassination attempts is that everone expects Trump to die from uninflicted causes soon enough. It's not worth sacrificing your own life to see it happen sooner than later.
The entire world is a powder keg where everyone is hoping that the fuse goes out before it explodes. That is why nobody is stopping Trump. This includes the people in GOP who know fully well that they're on the wrong path. You can tell because they've stopped blowing air on the fuse. Except for Vance and Elon. Those idiots want the world to explode.
Waiting it out is still a bad solution, because it will enable more to follow his example.
