Making cars in the US makes no sense. The cost of living is too high. It’s much easier to make them in Mexico and ship them.

Yeah, we shouldn’t make anything expensive in the US. We should make them abroad and then the unemployed hordes will buy those goods!

Your statement is too stupid to be anything but a troll.

non-Americans can buy stuff too. Not everything gets made for America.

You’d have a point, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re targeting the wrong issues.

If they want their new EVs to be eligible federal tax credit, the cars need to undergo final assembly in the US. Not to mention we just went through a pandemic that showed us the weaknesses of shipping all our manufacturing to third world countries.

That makes sense for a techbro or a financebro, but turning the blue collar labour force into a horde of minimum wage slaves serving coffee and delivering UPS packages isn’t exactly the future that those people want.
