Damnit! I agree with you again. I hate it when that happens :lol: Don’t let GOP hear you talking about tariffs - they’ll pull your card.
Yes the slave labor rates will kill the US auto industry. Another point to keep in mind is that while their slave labor is an advantage, the lack of regulation is an even bigger advantage for these vehicles. Those factories have virtually no compliance costs related to OS&H, wastewater treatment, indoor air quality, factory emmissions, etc. What regulations do exist in countries like China only incur costs by way of how much the factory bribes the local magistrates not to enforce them.

Ironically all of my employees are in safety training today.
(My cost is about $20,000.00)
Do Chinese companies have to pay for their employees to be safe?
I am going to go out on a limb and say, “No”.
Edit: The tariffs would have to be OVER 1000% to be effective. Fat chance of having 1000% tariffs.
