Climate change and inflation are both important, so we're going to make it as expensive as possible to switch away from fossil fuels.

I hope Biden wins by a landslide, but his protectionist instincts are such an ugly trait.

They are such a disappointment. Protectionism just makes industry lazy (in my opinion.)

The US auto industry had plenty of time to build a competitive product. It’s their fault they didn’t.

Unfortunately though, they are major employers, with major unions, in a major swing state that Biden needs, giving them outsized influence.
