Takes a dumb, obese customer who can’t drive (or read/count) to buy crappy US cars/SUVs
Politicians need to pay off dealers/unions/voters
Politicians also need to periodically visit “elitist” Manhattan/Greenwich/Woodside for fundraising and to explain themselves
And said elitists have incentives to make “protection payments” in various forms to avoid civil unrest and violent class warfare….and assuage the never-ending “wealth guilt” of Gulfstream communists
