I visited there over 30 years ago. It seemed inappropriate in this location that the company I worked for had a torpedo manufacturing facility nearby. They sold the business and hopefully the building is being used for a better purpose.

This reminds me about a friend who lost most of his life savings when he retired from his corporate job and then opened up at least 2 Thomas Kinkade stores, including one at the Mall of America. I lost track of him but I know that he would have been much better off with his money in his 401(k).

Some of those American brands of cars are assembled abroad and presumably are subject to the 25% tariff and some of the foreign brands are assembled in the US and subject to parts tariff. In the long run parts will be made in US and more cars assembled in US but in the short run lots of pain.
