Thailand is a popular locale for construction of foreign light trucks - what the tariff was designed to stop.

you answer to everything is "lower costs for me", regardless of the costs to anyone else. any product you currently buy could be made by slave labor in Africa at lower costs, are you in favor of that? why not? why stop at having a truck made in Thailand, when there is even lower cost labor available under threat of being shot or starvation, so you can knock a few hundred bucks off your next car purchase.

your posts are the very definition of the race to the bottom.

My posts are the very definition of the race to the bottom that exists only in your mind. Why do we produce cars here instead of elsewhere? Because it's cheaper to, much like it is cheaper to build a car in the South than in the old Midwest, a fact that the UAW attempts to disguise when it claims that a certain tariff (say, on light trucks) is needed to keep manufacturing from moving to, say, Thailand.
