That’s an absurd theory. Why would Mercedes lobby to increase the taxes they pay. They could have just put the price up and taken the difference as profit. The point of the import duties was to advantage domestic manufacturers (I think there were some general U.S. Europe trade disagreements at the time)
- samstave 3y agoNot Arguing WITH "Absurd Theory" -- It was just a wierd one that popped in my head - I am NOT saying I think this - just thought a fun angle... I really enjoy just playing "what-if" in every category Or you can choose not to do so, but why?
- dan-robertson 3y agoUsually the way one plays what-if is by coming up with a bunch of ideas and then thinking about whether they make sense or not, and then tossing out the ones that don’t make sense. Often when someone writes ‘what if X?’ What they really mean is that they think X and either think it is plainly obvious or know it is a controversial/conspiratorial theory, which is the tone I wrongly read in what you wrote. I hope you won’t be too put off from writing down your weird ideas in future.
