Did we care about workers making televisions, textiles, shoes, consumer electronics, kitchen appliances, telephones, machine tools, auto parts, bearings, American flags, clothing, and probably 100 more industries that used to be here but are long gone? We didn't give a shit one way or the other, we just wanted those rock bottom prices.
We live in a country that was made over after the second world war in a way that makes an automobile a necessity for every adult of working age. Should we allow car makers to rent seek on that basis?
Should somebody working a retail job take food off their own table in order to afford an automobile just to take care of autoworkers?
If I have to pay $1,000/month for a car, that's a hell of a lot less money I have to spend elsewhere, which hurts workers in other industries. Why are autoworkers privileged?
Where do you stop? Should we all be forced to use coal furnaces in order to create jobs for miners? Should we all be forced to drink only cow's milk in order to help failing dairy farmers?
By the way, my car was built on US soil with union labor. But GM closed the factory and sold it, shifted production of small vehicles to Korea.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
