    Dude…. That’s literally what the U.S. is doing with their subsidies. Why the fuck do you think we sell fords in China, where they don’t care about trucks at all. That extension of power is literally exactly what the U.S. has done for a century, hence all the issues we’re seeing right now.

      Then why do fancy Fords cost $80k and not $40k or less?
      If the government is guaranteeing them money per-vehicle built, why aren’t there massive lots flooded with a millions of unsold Fords? That’s what’s happening in China.
