This x1000, I hope this really turns the screws on the US manufacturers, they need to hurt.
- irishcoffee 9mo agoI suppose you realize the people running those manufacturing companies won't be hurt much at all, everyone who scrapes by trying to making a living work for them will hurt a lot when they get fired.
- daedrdev 9mo agoThe vast majority of US auto jobs have already been lost to automation yet I don't hear you asking for those to come back in exchange for twice as expensive cars. This is these companies own fault. These companies have grown cozy rent seeking with little competition and have completely missed the electrification of cars as a result. Cheaper cars will hurt those workers, but all of society will be better off when one of their largest expenses decreases.
- irishcoffee 9mo agoNothing gets cheaper. The bullwhip effect everyone kept evangelizing never happened. Between the housing crisis and the covid stimulus I’m not sure why anyone ever expected things to get cheaper, or expects it today.
- hackable_sand 9mo agoThis is pure propaganda. Keep doing you, Canada.
- Analemma_ 9mo agoThe UAW endorsed the guy currently threatening to invade and annex Canada. Why would I care about them? They can all rot. No Chinese autoworker ever threatened me with invasion.
- pokstad 9mo agoReally it’s the US government that it turns the screws on. China doesn’t need to comply with US regulations to produce their cars.
