The we should agree that there should be no credits for electric cars or bailouts for them next time around.

Sure, we will eat a little inflation, but many of them would selling pencils at a street light in four or five years.

That’s fine with me.

From what I’ve read, EVs require far few parts to manufacture, which means you need fewer employees, the rank and file see that and want all they can get right now, it’s human nature.

Ross Perot was right; NAFTA and other trade agreements have created a giant sucking sound for good American Jobs.

In 5-10 years the overall number of employees in Union States will go down, the number in right to work states will go up.

The Big 3 automakers have plants in Southern Right to Work States and those are still working.

Filing for bankruptcy does not mean you are out of business, I would not be surprised to see GM, Ford, Stellantis file for bankruptcy, sell of their plants in Northern States and expand their plants in Southern States, agree to the union demands in the short term and plan to eliminate them over time.
