The U.S. government should block the import of low-cost Chinese autos and parts from Mexico, a U.S. manufacturing advocacy group said on Friday, warning they could threaten the viability of American car companies.
I thought corporate industry liked the free market and no regulation.
They have no problem abusing the same “loophole” for their plants in Europe and Asia.
They love the idea of competition right up until they have to actually compete
The free market is a myth
American EV manufacturers are consistently cutting their production citing waning demand. This is obviously false since the US is blocking cheap imports, car makers have everything to gain by limiting supply and keeping prices high.
Well American civilization has been deliberately constructed to require cars for survival outside a number of cities you can count on one hand and cars from US manufacturers are getting so expensive that even used cars are becoming unaffordable to large and growing segments of the population, so I don’t know that I care that Ford’s bottom line will be impacted.
Nooo you can’t make affordable cars for people, we need our shitty noncompetitive prestige brands to make the money
So much for free markets. Everything the US was trying to push onto others it is now fighting itself. I love the hypocrisy.
NAFTA?? who’s she?
huh theres another petrol derivative called naphtha in english lol, shared etymology for related substances
I hardly know her!
Blocking imports of Chinese EVs while American manufacturers keep their EVs as luxury products and prioritize CE vehicles is not only blatant protectionism, but another way to kill the planet for the sole purpose of enriching a small minority of very wealthy people.
