I think anyone who wants to lose weight should wear a continuous glucose monitor. There's no sneaking an extra cupcake with those things. They are relentless.

"Can You Avoid a Car Tariff?
No vehicle made at an assembly plant in the United States is 100% made here. Even Tesla sources its parts from other countries. This means that with tariffs, car prices will increase for American car buyers, though the timing remains unclear. You can potentially avoid paying a tariff on a new car by purchasing one that was imported to the U.S. before the tariffs took effect, or by buying a used car.

How Will Tariffs Affect Car Buying?
If new cars become too expensive, used cars will become more attractive. However, if demand spikes, used car prices may also increase. Here's more information:

New cars: Shoppers can expect the tariffs to increase car prices by as much as $6,000 on vehicles priced under $40,000. Higher car prices mean higher car taxes, financing, car insurance, and other ownership costs. This price pressure will make cars less affordable for consumers.
Used Cars: Tariffs do not directly affect previously owned cars. However, they will affect car buying. Already, shoppers see fewer used cars available in the marketplace because manufacturers made 8 million fewer vehicles during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a tight inventory environment. As a result, consumers may want to act fast to buy a used vehicle. The reason: Would-be new car buyers looking to avoid tariff increases could flood the used car market, similar to what happened during the pandemic. "
