Did karting just get 20% more expensive in the US?

I’m pretty sure GM transmissions cross the border 4x at various stages of assembly before returning to be sold. How the heck is that the most efficient manner?! Who knows, but if it’s what they’re doing, it’s either the cheapest, or there are kickbacks involved…

UPDATE: I was wrong…it was scrap → transmissions, and it’s 7X?!!

However, capitalists are creative and adaptable. No matter what the political conditions are, the shrewd will find ways to make money…

No such thing as “facts” in politics, just biased versions of them.

I can say, at acceleration karting, the CRG FS4 chassis jumped from $3300, to $4100 over a weekend then the 20% tarriffs were announced. Since we are back down to 10%, i was hoping to see it drop, but it has not.
