Because that’s all they can AFFORD due to gigantic corporations colluding to make housing, food, healthcare, medicine, and yes, cars

What people are being forced to buy expensive new cars? I make decent money and always buy used because it’s a much better value.

You’re acting like poverty is an irresponsible choice by the consumers rather than the inevitable effect of extreme corporate profiteering allowed because the politicians are receiving bribes.

I’ve done nothing of the sort. You’re advocating for a bunch of US manufacturing workers to get laid off because you want to buy a new car for an unreasonably low price.

Are you joking? This is the entire topic of discussion.

That’s exactly what this ridiculously high tariff does: it removes competition so that American carmakers won’t have to lower their ridiculously high prices.

How does this remove competition? What it removes is the effects of unsustainable subsidies that artificially reduce the price of these cars. They’re free to compete with the rest of the industry on a level playing field.

Yeah, because being beholden to the notoriously corrupt and abusive big US automakers and paying more for the privilege is MUCH better! 🙄

In what way are we beholden to US automakers (Ford, GM, and Tesla)? What a ridiculous statement. Have you never been car shopping before? There’s a lot more brands for sale here than those three.

Is what I think every time party robots such as yourself who rightly castigated Trump for his harmful trade war with China but are now cheering on Biden doing the same with many of the same justifications.

So this is about party politics now? I think Biden and Trump are both pieces of shit. You can dig through my comment history if you don’t believe me.

Burning Man called. They want their colossal strawman back.

You must not have read through the comments here. Half of them are saying we’re all doomed if we can’t get our hands on these cheap new cars.
