And so they're dealing with government forcing them to build certain types of cars.

They take losses on those.

Ford makes money back on their F-150s.

They can even it out.

But, yeah, I would say back to the free market, right?

If they could produce these cars at a good profit, they probably would.

The reason why they can't is, again, because of the regulations.

On Twitter, maybe in my echo chamber, I see quite a bit.

In other countries, they have these, like, Toyota trucks that are, like, everybody wishes they could get in the U.S.

They're, like, $15,000, and they're really cool, and, like, people love them.

Yeah, it's like a Toyota truck.

It's sort of like a military vehicle.

Yeah, like $15,000, the Hilux.

And these are in other countries.

And people are like, why can't we get this in the United States for $15,000 or whatever, right?

But they don't pass safety.

They don't pass EPA.

They don't pass whatever, whatever, whatever, right?

And so unfortunately, because of the regulations that we have here, just like we talked about with homes earlier, the cost to produce a car in the United States is just too expensive.

And so it cuts out this bottom part of the market, not because I'm sure there's demand for a cheap car, but they can't produce it at a good margin.
