It will be interesting to see where the US auto industry winds up. Americans have brought this on themselves, shutter the plants. Every last US plant can shut down.

Hyundai plant raid. Shutter every US plant for all I care, we don't deserve to drive cars if we are going to act like this as a society. 

Pathetic part is that most of those folks here had valid work permits and have skills that America does not have since most Battery / EV production is outside of the U.S.

So much for bringing back Manufacturing when you have such idiots in charge that cannot understand the need to bring in folks with the right skills to train the folks here to do the job.

This video rewatching it again just reenforces that BOTH political parties have FAILED America in fixing immigration!

The people just want to work, pay their taxes and go home.

Love the comments from everyone that says let all companies pull out of the red states and fail.

The more I watch this video the more I have anger for the Idiots of ICE as there is no need for all the chains on these people as if they are mass murders.

I would not blame Hyundai from pulling out and letting this country fall down.

Hyundai should, from a moral standpoint. 

Besides...

They actually released a new revision for the jobs numbers, now it's down to "f@#k" according to their words

Well well well.

It seems that Canadians are asking our government to look into easing off on our tariffs on Chinese EVs.

1. Western Canadians who produce canola oils are suffering due to the fact that China has tariffs on our canola oil. 

2. China has demanded that we take off our tariffs on their EVs and they have put tariffs on all kinds of our products. Beef etc...  But China seems ready to negotiate if we ease off on their EV tariffs.

3. Canada has followed the US on that because:

a) US is (was?) our business partner...

b) We also have an invested interest as GM, Ford and Chryco do have manufacturing plants running in Canada

c) But...tariffs on Canadian built cars by the US are not good for our economy either.  And a direct result of that is that Canadian msrps have skyrocketed as well

d) Even though Albertans for the most part are luke warm on EVs in general, big oil has managed to dupe them just as much as big oil has duped 'Mericans on EVs...  Albertans are willing to forego Canada's tariffs on Chinese EVs

e) Canadians ALL ACROSS Canada are now favoring to for Canada to ease up on tariffs on Chinese EVs as 

i. Canadians realize that we need to de-couple from the US and find NEW trading partners, even i that means to do business all out with China

ii.Tit for tat. We eliminate tariffs on Chinese EVs, they eliminate tariffs on our products. 

iii. Who needs American cars, expensive American cars, when we could buy cheap Chinese EVs.  

This will sink GM, Ford and Chryco if Chinese EVs flood our market.  

And in turn will sink the USA.

If China augments their prices on their cars in the future, well, so be it.   Trump, Maga and everybody else that doesnt seem to understand what it the hell is going on right now, it is time to wake the phoque up and stop this nonsense.   It is still not too late for the US to pick up the mess they have created unto themselves. But come 2026, I thing its going to be too late.  The US as a leader in anything will be gone.  No global influence. No global financial partners. No nothing.  And in turn , the US will slowly become a country with uber rich peoples, and uber poor.  With never a hope in being a country governed for the people by the people.

Its coming...

Charlie Kirk got shot. 

Was he just shot at or shot and got wounded and how badly?  

Do not know and I do not care.  Personally I hope the phoqer dies.  I do not care how he dies or when. But when he does die, Im more interested in what his status will be when he tries to go through the Pearly Gates... 

Anyway...Where?  In Utah at a college event apparently.

Utah.  A red state I presume. 

Will Trump deploy the National  Guard?  You now...to quell the violence...

Phoque Charlie Kirk.

Phoque Trump

Phoque Utah (Except the Mammoth.  Hockey is CANADA's GAME!!!)

Phoque Red States

Phoque the US

I know absolutely nothing about the guy, but wishing he was dead is pretty messed up.

 Why is it messed up?

Because I am a good Christian?  Or are you a good Christian and YOU push that good  Christian shyte on me?  Anyway,  Who told you THAT nonsense that Im a good Christian? I am not a good Christian.  So...why you judge me. It aint up to you to judge me...   God will judge me so phoque off with your judgey bullshyte...

PS: I did not say I wished him dead.  I said I hope the phoquer dies.  I do not care how he dies or when.  (implying)  One day.   One day he will.  One day...we all die. 

Why do I hope the phoquer dies?

Well...firstly...thoughts and prayers to him.   But...he and only he knows of the sins he committed.  Being such a good Christian himself and not taking gun violence seriously himself.  But when he dies. Today, tomorrow, in 80 years from now. I surely will be curious to see if what his status will be when he tries to get through the Pearly Gates... 

Oh well.  2nd Amendment rights...   He is fighting the good fight and thoughts and prayers to him. And may he not die ironically.
