They have a very strong military to make sure you do what they wanted. Iraq. Libya.

But to be honest, the American car industry is a sunset industry due to poor innovation and high labour costs.

The demise of US car industry is self inflicted.

They ban China steel to protect US steel factories. So cost to their auto industry increases.
Their worker union were asking for 46% pay increase in 2023. So cost goes up further.

They seem to have a death wish.

But they’d rather cut off the nose to spite the face…
Instead of making themselves more competitive, they try to make their competitors more expensive. It’s the American people that end up paying more for everything. But they deserve the government they voted for.

same reason so many people voted for Tun as PM the 2nd time and see what happened?
