Now you get to explain in some detail through what modes a single nation's government controls multinational companies that preside over global markets. Be sure to account for regulatory capture in your explanation. We'll wait.

I am always eager to rise to the call of a rank bully. Well maybe less eager than you to have the opportunity to be completely rude to a total stranger you disagree with. Meanwhile, they control companies with laws. Isn't this obvious? Try charity next time. Or be this rude in real life to people you know and see how it goes. People like you ruin this site.

  If refusing to let baseless handwaving pass for reasoned arguments ruins the site for you you're gonna have a bad time. In the mean time, "laws" hardly meets burden of proof here when the initial claim is a single nation's government controlling an entire global industry. An industry that is dominated by manufacturers that are not based in the country in question. Did you want to flesh that out a little?

    What is baseless or handwaving about it? It's an incredibly simple statement. "Well.. the government decided it wanted to control the car market, it has single handedly set it back several decades at this point." The government /is/ attempting to control the car market. This is happening at both the federal and state level. These laws specify what the market can and cannot sell, the most direct form of control available. These laws inject government money into subsidies for both the consumer and the manufacturer, an indirect form of control. The article "it" is indefinite but it obviously refers to the /market/, and not the /industry/. A word which never appeared in my original statement. Did you want to constrain yourself a little?
