    Amongst your laughable bullshit:

    No one is choosing a tesla over a Ford because of cost. Lots of people were ignoring those cars because they weren’t union, even before Musk went more visibly off the deep end. And they’re completely different products with different value propositions.

    Unionism raises working standards for non-union workers as well. These gains would affect the non-US manufacturers the same way they will affect non-union US workers. That’s the point.

    Suggesting that workers continue to sacrifice to keep a product “competitive” is sweatshop logic. You’ve got your priorities twisted. If your response is “that’s the way capitalism works…” Only because we let it. That’s how organized labour works.
