This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"For once, I agree with my grubby colleague here," says General Chassis CEO Billy Christmas. "Although I have to say, tariffs aren't the only answer.

"I think we need to face facts," says noted economist and chat-show regular Thomas McGuffin. "We live in a global economy now, and automobile manufacturing just isn't Tamerlane's strong suit. There's no point taking money from taxpayers in order to line the pockets of a few greedy workers and corrupt managers in a doomed industry. Let the market takes its--argh, let go of my throat!"
