American citizens should occasionally be denied access to the free market. The preservation of the US automotive industry is clearly in the national interest, and the domestic market should be walled off until GM, Ford etc complete their transition to EV's. That your average America citizen needs to 'make do' with a slightly inferior product is a trivial local sacrifice for the greater good of the state.
- ggsg6 3y agoAgree it's the right move. But its also satisfying to watch American companies that snuffed out poorer local competitors world over, for 4-5 decades arm twisting and bribing govts to drop protection, now on the receiving end. I don't see the trend changing unless there is gigantic drop in healthcare, housing and education costs of labour. The US needs many more changes over and above protection to be competitive again.
