No, but maybe the UAW does:

"This is a shameful, barely veiled threat by Ford to cut jobs. Closing
65 plants over the last 20 years wasn`t enough for the Big Three, now
they want to threaten us with closing plants that aren`t even open yet.
We are simply asking for a just transition to electric vehicles and Ford
is instead doubling down on their race to the bottom."

Opinion piece from a former Trump labor advisor. Lot`s o` buzzwords

can all but eliminate car sales in favor of expensive SUVs and trucks
due to government regulation, they can sell EVs.
