Not my first one. But that was a more US American industry. Now it is truly an US/Canada/Mexico industry because of how we divided up manufacturing and labor. Which I think is good.

Insulation over isolation.

But auto companies aiming 80% of their products at 15% of the population after years of lobbying against any other form of public transportation. When they made cheap cars that was OK, fine.

But when they stopped making cheap car and made it 100% tariffs for cheap cars like now ... well fuck that shit right there.
