They didn’t get left behind. They kicked and screamed in denial the whole time. The US government and the US car manufacturers put themselves into this position.
I just wish that factory workers wouldn’t be so impacted by the failures of the executives who wanted to make their own money by milking reputations and product lines without investing in the future. Like, if Stellantis had to shut down, it would be well deserved, but it would suck for the normal people at the bottom.
When the company wins, the executives win. When the company loses, the workers lose.
They didn’t get “left behind”, they intentionally denied reality.
You could replace “electric car” in the title with education, telecommunications, internet, etc. and it’d also still be true.
Stubbornness and proactive regression and denialism and rejectionism and asshole privilege are a hell of a drug cocktail.
