How about no mandates and let the market decide what it wants.

Need to cut a deal with the Japs. They’re the ones that figured out how to make a car that doesn’t end up in the shop every year.

Unnecessarily driving up manufacturing costs is a terrible business plan. You will sell few cars, at lower profits, and drive CAPEX to other manufacturers. Yet somehow you expect businesses to do this? Why would they?

The idea that every single part needs to be manufactured here in the U.S. is absurd

Nope. Putting up artificial barriers to protect domestic ineffecient practices and high labor costs won't fix anything. China will continue to innovate and build new manufacturing capacity.

Right you are the guy that doesn't vote but spends all day arguing with people on a political message board.


You either don't vote or a liar.

So if you don't agree with every single law and policy in the U.S. you should move to a different country?
