    He’s basically openly saying the US is trying to be like China when it comes to manufacturing (even though there is no possibility the US could compete due to extremely high labor costs)

    Not to mention he’s backpedaling from kicking out the specialized employees there to build the EV factory. American employees were going to be trained to build the EVs, but there is no need for Americans to need to learn how to build a specialized Hyundai factory. Absolutely no excuse for this other than incompetence

      High labor costs and environmental regulations … both of which MAGA is speed-racing getting rid of. If we actually end up being able to compete with China again in manufacturing, we’ll be (even more) utterly fucked (than we already are).
