They believe in a free market so they should be able to at least make good decisions on their own
No, they don’t actually. Insane amounts of lobbyism (enabled by always the same corrupt types in government) is their idea of a free market. They pay huge amounts so that legislation supports their obsolete models and keep competitors away.
Which is exactly what fucks them now because their bought puppets cannot protect them from losing all their foreign market shares to innovative products.
That’s also the reason those conservative morons in government are still loudly talking about ‘highly efficient’ combustion engines, totally fictious eFuels and plans to scrap the transition to EVs. Because they only know how to parrot the narratives they are paid to repeat.
