And EVs. New technology for all personal vehicles. No one yet dominated. No country, no manufacturer. If anything, Tesla, an American company, was out ahead. It’s a lot easier to build an industry when there is no industry leader to outcompete

Biden’s policies were guiding US manufacturers toward that, setting efficiency standards, building infrastructure, offering incentives to both establish a predictable market and to help manufacturers transition. US could have been a leading country for automobile manufacturing.

I’ve never seen that so blatantly thrown away. When we wake from the insanity and are allowed to buy foreign cars again, we’re going to find our legacy manufacturers with hopelessly outdated technology and overpriced products unsuitable to be sold anywhere else in a world where there are now established leaders. The car manufacturing supply chain in the US supports millions of jobs, but I’m afraid we’re seeing the beginning of that entirely disappearing
