    US claims to love their capitalism fueled open market. Yet they feel the need to subsidize them anyway and then cry that others are outcompeting them. Pathetic.

      I mean I don’t fully disagree with you but we have been doing tariffs on cars for like a zillion years. Having grown up in the backyard of the big 3 and had both my great grandfather and grandfather work for them. They have provided their works a decent salary and benefits I will say it’s been worse and worse but that’s America business. You just can’t find a good pension job these days.

      These Chinese companies are working off slave labor and really shitty working conditions. Never heard of people jumping off a Jeep building like Foxconn. Let’s just put a net around the building #FoxconnNets
