I dunno. Consumers put up with a lot. Why can't I buy a cheap Chinese EV again?

Well the short version is that Robert Rubin and company sold our industries for parts years and years ago. And now we have to rebuild the industrial base from scratch

That should make it possible to buy a cheap Chinese EV.

You can't because they didn't sell out completely. In fact they still have some power to protect the companies from foreign products.

The result is a mishmash of protectionism and globalization.
