    You know that American car makers are heavily subsidized right? Didn’t we just post a story about GM fleecing the government of 6 billion.

    It’s amazing how Americans have zero self-awareness.

      See my other reply to a similar comment.

      I assume the $6 billion refers to their recent stock buyback? Stock buybacks should be illegal, but I don’t see where that’s ripping off the government. It’s actually notable that the government took a massive ownership stake in GM in exchange for the COVID bailout.
