In a recent report by the Market Gains channel, the host shared about the issue of minimum wage in California. Just a month ago, the state implemented a $20 minimum wage, a move celebrated by many workers. However, the initial optimism has given way to concerns as massive layoffs sweep through various industries.

Apparently, we learned nothing from the Japanese car invasion of the 1970s. The trade barriers ruined the US auto industry because the trade barriers meant they did not have to compete. So Detroit built a lot of crappy cars like the Ford Pinto and the Chevy Vega and Corvair. Ultimately, the barriers had to be lifted because we could not build globally competitive vehicles.

Have you looked at the prices of new cars lately? Why wouldn't we want some competition so that people can have affordable transportation? The trade barriers on this car will just mean that people in other countries will have access to more cars at better value than we in the USA are. That is pathetic.

Hmph. You make some good points.

Edit: however, the fact that their government subsidizes the shit out of these to me says that the trade barriers are possibly justified in this case.
