How about American workers learn to work for the same wages and working conditions.
If you want companies to pay a living wage with strong unions and safe working conditions, then competition with other places that don't bother with those things becomes near impossible.
See: The factories that iPhone is built in
No. We can still pay workers much better and make much more lower priced affordable models.
Stop giving the CEOs, upper management, investors, etc., millions and millions of dollars. I don't care what anyone says.
We can have the sub 10k priced EV, or even less, like China has. They can still make money on luxury/performance "status" models.
This is all about keeping extreme wealth for the extreme wealthy. Wall Street, etc. Full stop.
We can have very well payed workers and much cheaper yet still quality vehicles.
Agreed. This is something that is very much overlooked when people talk about how manufacturing in China works. The country is split into special economic zones that have different rules and laws that govern the regions. This allows them to uniquely exploit their labor markets to keep their costs as low as possible.
iPhones are built by FoxConn in their Shenzhen factories. See FoxConn Suicides for more.
EV manufacture is mostly automated.. This argument makes no sense. 8 people to build an ICE. you only need one for an EV.
Are these tariffs based off how they treat their workers? Do countries with good working conditions not have tariffs?
