That’s also bad from a national security standpoint, because we don’t win WWII without all of those car factories that converted into making planes and tanks.
Times have changed. The winner of the next war will be the country with the best drones, software and the nerds who will run them. The era of land armored vehicles, naval surface combatants, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft over battlefields and assembled infantry is over. There is no Ford in or future.
EV planes and tanks are going to be interesting. If they convert their ICE plants to build EV's, where is all of that ICE plant equipment going? Are they dumb enough to scrap it?
We couldn’t win a WWII today. We are weak, incompetent and corrupt.
***Spoiler Alert***
We already won WWII about 78 years ago.
