Don't forget how they've spent the last century lobbying against public transport infrastructure and walkable cities, requiring most people to own a car if they want the same mobility people across Europe and South East Asia have access to (at 2-5x the cost).

True. The UAW got a huge PR boost this year, but don't forget that those fucks want us in massive, overpriced cars that we don't need just as much as the Big Three.
