“In short, Detroit is drifting further and further from the starter car, while factories in China are specializing in it. Just don’t expect the latter to solve for the former anytime soon.”
There is a bit of union blaming in the article, but it is an overall good article. Basically import taxes, tariffs, and anti-Chinese political sentiment prevent us from having sub $20k EV car.

Because I work in the construction industry, so I must go where the job site is located
Isn’t it fucked how your boss was basically taking $15,600 out of your annual pay by not covering your commute costs?
It’s part of the job, truly ask anyone in construction and also why I traded in my expensive truck. Nobody is taking money from me, as I voluntarily go to the job. I could sleep at the job site if I wanted (some guys do). I’m also entitled to a hotel room if I really wanted, but I’d rather drive the couple of hours, eat dinner with the kids, and sleep with my wife in my bed. There are some perks such as fuel cards, however I switched companies only 6 months agobso I’m low man on the totem pole for it, or wait till I get promoted. I’m in a union and well taken care of. I can just as easily find something closer, but I love my job, I love my crew, and I love my company. At the end of the day, there’s plenty of ways we are all getting screwed, but my company isn’t one of them. I’d rather focus on the monopoly cartels such as PGE, Verizon, Blackrock, and a plethora of others that are directly costing me much more and affecting my cost of living.
