Basically a Chevy bolt for $11,000 (top trim).
200% tariffs won’t protect Chevrolet.
Yeah, but basic safety standards will.
Yeah, everyone thought that Chinese cars would have terrible safety and quality, and then the Chinese cars actually turned up and they didn't. And the auto industry collectively made a whoopsie in their pants.
They're still pushing the narrative that Chinese cars are garbage though, because that and tariffs are all that they've got.
I don't get how people who are apparently so pro capitalism seem so upset about competition.
Because the other guy is winning, of course
That's easy, their real belief is that they need to make as much money as possible. They're only pro-capitalism when it means making more money.
