I mean he’s literally had his hand in decisions for 50 years. He’s one of the few you can absolutely blame for everything.
Like becoming reliant on foreign companies.
This dude was in politics before I was born.

To be fair she was rear ended in the accident and i mean by another car. That's why it was in the shop. Just wanted to clarify since we on the OT

As i waited noticed a car parked next to me with a sticker in the window. It reads 2015 Ford focus had all the accessories etc.. 149,000 miles. Right there i'm thinking that's a lot miles so in my head i set a price of 7 or 8 thousand. Finally get to the bottom and it reads: 14,998
My work focus died a few months back. Needed a fuel pump, so not too terrible.
Boss traded it in at $12k for me. 2017 w, 97k miles. Not loaded at all. With the fuel pump out. $12k.
I was shocked.

I get that blaming everything on Biden is both funny and mostly true, but the used/new car problems have little to nothing to do with either administration. Supply is constrained, plain and simple. Started with massive demand during the pandemic as people moved out of cities and needed vehicles, wiping out most inventories. Since then, the chip shortage has meant new vehicles can’t sniff pre-pandemic levels, so everything that rides on 4 wheels has skyrocketed.

I’m not saying unions, minimum wage, regulation, or safety standards are bad things.
But when you do so much of them that everybody says “F this. We’re going to go set up shop elsewhere, deal with their regulation, their taxes, tariffs, shipping, etc. instead of just making stuff here, you’ve failed.
Not saying Biden is entirely to blame, but he was in office 50 years and this has never been a concern of his. But Trump at least saw this as a problem. He has his (giant) flaws but he was dead on with addressing our relying on foreign manufacturing.

Yep i was gonna put off getting a new truck. But it will probably only get worse.
