Newsflash, it's not an "American company" if their factories are overseas.
The one thing the US needs more than anything is a cheap, reliable car that's just the basics, for 10k or less, off the lot.
I'm grateful my truck is paid off because the used car market is insane right now. Nothing under 10k with less than 100k miles.
You want cheaper? You're paying 5k for a ticking time bomb, then.
10k dollar new car would be a game changer for prosperity.

We owe GenZ a chance at what you had
If your primary complaint is that the Trump tariffs have hurt your 401K / Retirement funds, then you are missing the point. For decades, we traded away higher paying jobs for cheap trinkets. We did this while sending our young men and women to wars that did nothing. Retirement accounts got fatter, while job opportunities for the younger generations vanished, and body bags returned from useless engagements.
For many Boomers, when you came back from Vietnam, you had labor jobs waiting. For GenX, Millenials, and especially GenZ, they had Walmart stockboy and Dominoes delivery jobs after Iraq and Afghanistan. We spent trillions building other countries so that their young men would have opportunities. What began as the outsourcing of cheap trinkets and tee shirts has now become factories making cars, computers, and high tech chips.
Learn to code? We told our children to do just that. Those jobs are now in India.
Imagine a twenty-eight year old veteran coming home to the United States from Afghanistan with no job opportunities. While you say, "Thank you for your service," he is struggling to survive on $15 and hour in his camouflage vest at Lowes. That is fundamentally immoral.
GenZ is not suffering from a work ethic crisis. They are suffering from decades of betrayal - by older generations who traded their future for one more dollar in their retirement accounts. How can they not be angry?
Yesterday, my retirement account took a 10% hit. I am about 20 years from retirement (if that ever happens). Today, I may lose another 5%. So what? We owe it to our children and grandchildren to give them a future we have long since stolen from them. As a father, my selfish desire to retire comfortably needs to take a backseat to a correction necessary so that some day my children and grandchildren can have their own future.
They need a chance. If we are unwilling to give that to them, we - as a society - fail. Let's see what the tariffs get us. Hopefully, it gets more opportunities for our younger generations. Your stocks will recover. Their future, however, remains uncertain.

Just reading this one headline tells you everything you need to know about the media's agenda.
The story relates to a black boy who killed a white boy. Yet the entire focus of the headline is the 'heartbreak' and pain the father of the killer is going through. The headline even goes down the route of calling the killer a 'good boy'.
The media often flips the narrative in this way, allowing the aggressor to be seen as a victim, they famously did this after the Southport killings.
The question is though, would they flip the narrative in this way if a white boy had killed a black boy?

Hmm... Perhaps! Because sunlight will better your mood, strengthen your bones, improve your cardio capacity, help with your sleep, lower anxiety, kill bad bacteria, AND ward off cancerous cells. In the old days: Doctors worked WITH Mother Nature. Not against Her.
