Deere’s stock just took a tumble. Down over 5%. Not exactly the grace of a cat landing on its feet. They blame tariffs and shrinking margins. Yawn. If they spent less time whining and more time innovating, maybe they’d catch a break. But no, it’s easier to grumble about political noise than fix the tractor.
China’s Great Wall Motor wants in on Europe, planning 300,000 vehicles a year by 2029. Ambitious, but Europe’s roads are already crowded with pretenders. Good luck building a factory and shaking up the scene. I’ll be watching from my perch, amused.
Britain’s busy doubling down on tax hikes. $34.4 billion in fresh taxes? That’s like squeezing cream out of an already empty milk carton. Rachel Reeves says it’s for working people.
