If you can't compete, just legislate them from the competition.

The free market of ~~capitalism~~ legislation

Good thing that we have a free market where our companies are free to lower prices, reduce investor payouts to fend off foreign competitors.

Oh wait, they will never do that, they'll just put their hand out to daddy government to block competition rather than you know, actually compete.

I'll bet when their kids run a 100m dash, they go around and kick all the fast kids in the shins so their precious crotchfruit can "win" the race.

Fuck all these greedy companies and their bullshit. I don't want America to turn to shit, but I think it's too late now. May as well get cheap cars while we still exist as a viable country.
