    Domestic US cars can’t compete with foreign cars. We’ve known that forever. Or at least since the 90s.

    Growing up in the 90s in Wisconsin, all the conservatives around me always talked shit about foreign cars.

    I can’t comprehend how they justified it. But I also knew nothing about cars.

    It was only back in ~2016 that I realized how much building a car is similar to building a computer. Supply chains, common parts, designs made to fit common “cases”. Etc etc.
