The owners of JEEP aren't even American. Italians and Chinese. FUCK.

This is what it looks like when your country is sold out. We invented the Jeep in America and now we don't even own it.

We're too concerned with money to care about security. Nobody should sell things to foreign powers, I dont care how rich it makes you. If I got an offer on my truck from an American for $30,000, and an offer from a china man for $200,000, I will take the former offer without question. This is how it needs to be. Money is not a god and should not be worshipped, it is only a means to acquire your needs.

A market economy where different countries have different rules

Is not a market economy

That would require principles and morals which the elite abandoned long ago. This is what you get with a secular country.

But someone with no national pride would gladly buy it from you for $30k and sell it for $200k. This is why we are where we are today.

Well first Willie's had to go out of business, then Kaiser had to go out of business, then American motor corporation had to go out of business, and then Chrysler had to go out of business.

It's sad the Chrysler sold out to a foreign company, but to be honest the jeep brand has only been popular with a nitch group of people (like myself) for its entire existence and not even military contracts were able to keep its business from failing.

"All American" is not a legally protected term. "Made in USA" is. If something is "all American" then that's always a big red flag, that means their target audience is patriots but they are selling a cheap Chinese product.

Except even "Made in USA" usually just means "Parts made in China, assembled in America."

Doesn’t “Made In USA” require at least 51% of parts to originate in the US? Otherwise, “assembled in USA”

Just like solar power, and just like a lot of electric vehicles.

I had a good laugh looking at how many RVs are going electric. My conspiracy side had questioned if the RV splosion was just some bizarre Chinese ad with the amount of electric, Chinese RVs being advertised that week lol.
