    Honda absolutely has a chance. They’ve got one of the best names in automaking, huge industrial capacity, and also huge capital. They just want to get bailed out like every other car company does rn.

      It’s not you they’re talking to. The whole point of this statement is to fear-monger and get the government to give these assholes huge subsidies to “compete”, except these subsidies will go straight to the shareholders.

      Make no mistake, it’s just grifters trying to get the last bit of juice before they declare “yeah we’re bankrupt, cheerios”

        It’s the cia state department Havana Syndrome victims strategy of receiving a free $200,000 for a career of evil deeds before fucking off to the private sector, but at industrial scale

        We stopped trying to improve our product when we realized we were going to lose anyway, but it didn’t stop us from asking for a bunch of government money first

    Good, I hope all automobile manufacturers go out of business. Fuck cars and fuck the people who make them (this doesnt apply to the workers who actually makes them).

    He sounds like the CEO of an American car company.

    -–

    Edit

    Haha. To pad the article length - the writer quotes Redditors. Example

    “It’s really infuriating, isn’t it? Like, we want these electric cars and if there was a good production … demand would have gone up,” one user replied. “I’m ready to buy electric. I’m ready for removing my dependence on oil.”
