The Big Typo:

Now this is the month of flowers, not a fooler like March. Oh, there will be fools today, but the thrill of this month is about revival and rehabilitation. And the greening all over again. And of course, Easter, the ultimate rebirth. And chocolate bunnies and jellybeans but -- will there be eggs to hunt.

So today is the day to begin smiling, even if it is over a bad April Fool's joke.

It takes a long time to get a new factory built and up and running. Thats why Auto Execs are always asking the question, just how permanent are these tariffs going to be. The Boss says, they are permanent. But in America, permanence may only be until 2028 or even 2026 if the Dems take back Congress. And, if indeed manufacturing is brought back will jobs come with it, I seriously doubt it will be like it has been. AI automation will come with it for a simple fact – American labor costs more than foreign labor.
