To add to the national security angle: the auto industry is one of the industries that would be able to pivot to wartime production the fastest (as seen in the world wars). Probably not the first thing on everyone's mind, but I'd bet it's at least part of the consideration.

Why would you refuse the best of all cookies?
The hot water coming out of the tap isn't supposed to be boiling.
I'd try that if Doritos ever made it.
Ok, but why not leave all the water in the spot that actually has a drain for it?
I think I remember it already being established that it doesn't. It was one of the reasons (along with damages getting capped) why the piracy lawsuits never really caught on as a thing in Canada.
No one is saying that complete change isn't necessary. I'm just saying that we shouldn't respond to our cancer diagnosis by shooting ourselves in the head.
It must be that I'm just more optimistic than you. In a world with the type of weapons we possess, "burn it down" is giving up. It's the end. There will be no rebuilding. At least not until the tardigrades develop sentience.
Don't bring soup into this. This is an argument between soggy leaf juice and burnt bean juice.
The people who complain about X-Men being "woke" are the same group of people who complained that Rage Against the Machine had "gotten too political".
They also needed to have some sort of coherent message. Most could barely articulate why they were there, and what they wanted.
I also wish that people would start actually presenting some actionable alternatives. And not high concept, "we should strive to do x" alternatives, but actual "we can start implementing this change tomorrow" type things. I'm getting tired of hearing from all sides that everything is fucked. I know everything is fucked. What is the plan to fix it? And no, "burn it all down and start over" isn't a plan. That's a tantrum.
Have a look at that NAFTA replacement agreement. There's provisions in there specifically to put upwards pressure on Mexican wages.
