If they want their new EVs to be eligible federal tax credit, the cars need to undergo final assembly in the US. Not to mention we just went through a pandemic that showed us the weaknesses of shipping all our manufacturing to third world countries.

your weakness, not mine

Where do you live? The moon?

Not in the US

Then you have no idea why things NEED to be made here too. Everywhere needs jobs regardless of the country. People need money to spend on things, old things need replaced with new ones sometimes, and the economy fails with no jobs at all. Your comments are short sighted and fail to recognize to unique circumstances of the USA and its needs as you are not a citizen, you don't know how it actually is here or why Union jobs are important to the working class.

You read too many sensational 'America Bad' articles and it shows.

Hey, maybe it'll make you invade less countries and murder fewer people.

…fewer domestic resources and high unemployment will make a country less warlike?

Less able to wage war.

Historically, that provides greater excuse to invade other nations and make them pay for the war.

But also makes them less capable on murdering people.

I'm not sure that history shows that to factually be the case. See: Weimar Republic.

As one who lives in the US, I'm certainly biased but would prefer to a world that is more stable and less prone to crimes against humanity.
