I totally agree with you about how critical thinking is harder to come by. I do think some of it has to do with the vast number of information sources out there. There’s so much stuff competing for attention, diametrically opposed opinions, opinions presented as facts, etc that perhaps critical thinking is harder than it was in simpler times, when getting information was pretty much limited to books, the newspapers, and TV, all of which had to pass through editors in order to be made public.

There’s a huge amount of boomer hatred out there which is very misplaced. Nearly all the people who are leading MAGA are GenX at most and a lot of millennials. All the Proud Boys and such have to be young enough to believe they can physically fight. It is 100% stupid Republican ideas that are going to screw this country up.

So cars will be significantly more expensive no matter where they’re made?
