> Are these people also upset about safety and environmental standards for cars

By the way, this is a good example of what happens when regulators lose to the market. By what year was initially planned the complete ban of internal combustion engine vehicles for some European countries? And where are we now?

The regulator lost, the market suffered, but survived, and many people are unhappy with the regulations.

And there are situations when the regulator wins. You know, like when the communist government came to power. And when the regulator wins, people die of hunger. All the people. Every single time.

Yeah, yeah, I know the story. Enjoy your unregulated capitalism if you like it so much. These kinds of ideological debates are pointless. It’s better to just say “China” in that typical Trump voice while waving your hands around in the air.
