Ford, General Motors, Stellantis.

Is this cause of UAW? Didn't they reach an awesome preliminary deal with ford at least? Aren't UAW members going back to work for ford?

If you look closely, they are the three largest "car" manufacturers in North America.

I have something against lobbying for creating the word "jaywalking", destruction of historical black neighborhoods, and the SUV/pickup truck epidemic caused by their lobbying for reduced emission requirements on "light trucks".

I guess you could also add Tesla to the mix, since they're making such a big deal of their cyber truck.

Ohhh I see. Yeah that's fair. I'll make sure to buy foreign cars if I need something other than a bike and public transit.

What I meant is that while foreign companies are profiting from these laws, it is the American car makers that lobbied for them. I also don't really care for any car company, but if I were to boycott car manufacturers, I would start with the American ones.
