Michigan union members blame Biden electric-vehicle mandates for auto-industry layoffs: ‘Want to slit our throats’
Layoffs at Michigan’s auto plants have become a key issue in the swing state this election, as auto workers are now forced to entrust the future of the industry to either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
I think it's clear that no matter how "cheap" an electric vehicle is, most people aren't interested in them....
Except Kamala may issue an executive order banning all ICEs effective ASAP, if she gets in.
If she were to somehow TRULY get elected, all bets are off on everything...
If Kamala somehow gets elected and sworn into office, it will be a massive red pill for many many people because it is clear that President Trump's support is greater than in 2020.
Automobile manufacturers would love to blame everyone other than themselves if someone undercuts the market. They will do anything but admit that they kept overengineering vehicles with prices propped up by loans. Offer affordable, vehicles with minimal computer tech and trucks like the old Ford Ranger. Give the people what they want.
The old ford ranger was made illegal by Obama. You need to make vehicles fuel efficient per sqft of road area now. So to be emissions compliant you have physically huge light weight aluminum pieces of junk with shit for an engine in it now. That is why the new ford rangers are so shit.
Trump promised to return the Auto industry to the great manufacturing power it once was with Tarriffs on imports. He can do it, all you auto workers take note! Make sure you vote Trump.
This includes tarriffs on imports from Mexico.
Absolutely, plus if another country, say Germany has 100% tarriffs on American cars, he will put matching or greater tarriffs on their cars coming here. That will even the playing field and open enormous markets for American cars when the Germans realize they can’t sell Mercedes here unless they play ball with him.
You cant tariff your way out of incompetent leadership.
Trump warned them the China electric vehicles will kill their jobs and livelihoods and he was absolutely correct
Why do you think they went out demanding 40% raises? They know this contract could easily be their last.
Same for the East Coast longshoremen. The only difference is that their job could be replaced by illegals.
