Tried to find a comparison chart of import vs domestic production over time of automobiles. Not easily done. ChatGPT/open AI will tell you to do your own research. We know domestic market share in the last 5 decades has decreased precipitously.

cornelis to glennaro

What kind of problem is that for you, glennaro?
From what I understand, one problem has a name. It's called postmodernism. After one realizes the adopted scientific ideal doesn't work for the study of history modernism comes to an end. For example, experiments in a lab can be replicated for materials, but historical events are actually altered somewhat by writing and speaking. That is a very serious problem for those who held out for scientific precision. Is this the problem you are thinking of?
Next after "postmodernism" there is a second problem. It's a bigger problem: if it's impossible to replicate the event, the truth of all historical events is considered unattainable and there is no such thing as truth. This invites an age of absurdity, where constructs of meaning for history are often self-referential or other-referential. No longer oriented toward truth, it can be oriented to whatever else. You get to say anything you want about it. You are permitted to be absurd. How does that turn out? Your view is quickly harnessed into a new orientation. Instead of truth, it will yield to sheer political power. For example, the global idea of "democracy" insists that the correct interpretation is whatever the most powerful say it is, not the majority of citizens. Some of thought of this as the divination of a powerful ruling class.
These problems are unnecessary if historical truth is something other than scientific materialism.

It isn't just vocabulary. One could say that translating from any language will be good for understanding the basis of the English language, but there are good arguments for using Latin above the others.

Why Christians Should Read the Pagan Classics Reason #3: Science

cornelis to SauronOfMordor

The underlying first principle of science is the Universe is understandable.
In other words, this thing called "Universe" is less inclusive than the totality of all things since it only concerns what knowable by a human-range IQ (whatever that is). So the term Universe is a bit of misnomer.
Learned this from the pagan Socrates.

American youth steeped in modern Western culture, . . . the 1960s . . .
The cause is older than that. Read DeTocqueville. It's the twin engine of equality and liberty. And democracy in America tends in a particular direction, veering off now to the equality. You ask why the left doesn't reject the word democracy. Why do they tout democracy? Not saying they're honestly consistent, but . . .
So the youth think themselves equals of their parents at a pretty young age, but you didn't need the 60s for that. Just set the country up like the Founding Fathers and you will dispense with kings, patriarchs, peers, and all those other ruling seniors.
So much to say, but first back to DeTocqueville in Democracy in America.
Is Sophia Loren still the ticket or has she been replaced yet? And Chet Atkins is gone . . .

To put this in perspective, the immigration problem is a problem because they don't integrate. Whether the principle of association is ethnic or religious I'll leave to you to debate with someone else. It is sobering enough to see that those who do not leave the mosques are more devout than ever.
