minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-29 months agoWhat? We make about 150,000 vehicles a month in America… https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DAUPSA We sell about 150,000,000 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TOTALSA If Biden if fucking over every other American to “protect” a few thousands jobs… That’s a bad choice. For damn near everyone except the executives of companies who make most of their vehicles in Mexico anyways. Like, if Biden is doing this to protect jobs, it’s protecting jobs that went to Mexico decades ago. https://www.statista.com/statistics/889529/mexico-automotive-production-volume/
