Our Auto industry, protected for generations at this point, still fails to produce cars that foreigners want. They just focus on the domestic market with trucks and SUVs.
We throw our economic weight around carelessly, damaging economies around the world for so long, but are forgiven because we haven't been complete selfish assholes about it.
