    Great job there Shawn Fain in supporting you workers by supporting Trump’s tariffs.

    Those layoffs aren’t here yet. But they’re coming. We’re in hiring freeze land now. Layoffs are next.

    These are the layoffs from the fact that their EVs haven’t been hitting their sales targets for months.

      People aren’t buying EVs because the middle class has been systematically imploded. Wages are not matched to the American idea of prosperity, so few have the necessary funds to keep consuming at the pace required for everlasting growth. If you want a robust economy, you ensure that the average worker has disposable income. Instead, we have more poors, and a few more billionaires.

    The auto industry has been struggling for a few years, tariffs may have been the nail in the coffin that accelerated layoffs, but they’ve been coming for a while.
