Come on, Flipper, how much of a dolt would someone have to be to imagine that a VICE President (or even a PRESIDENT) is going to lean on an auto manufacturer to stop them from sundowning a model they've been selling for sixteen years?

They're mad that Harris wants to keep food producers from gouging consumers at the same time they want to dictate to a car-maker which vehicles is has to build.
@mcfate how do they think they can they actually do this ?
an Executive order forcing Stellantis to keep building RAM1500 ....?
I haven't got the slightest idea, honestly.
Presumably, Stellantis had some more concrete motivation to stop selling these things than, "How can we fire a lot of people?"
I'd guess sales are down, and I don't suppose Flippy is proposing that the government buy all the Ram 1500s Stellantis can produce.
@mcfate @BLuOXide Sales fell off a cliff. Ford owns that market.
