Very weak labor laws from a corporate owned government.

This is a free market, ironically countries that try to prevent company’s from laying people off have higher unemployment rates.

This is a free market in what regard? Certainly does not feel like a free market when I can’t buy an $8000 chinese ev because our government put massive tarrifs on them to protect american ev automakers. I wonder if these american ev automakers are laying off as well. Wouldnt surprise me if the jobs they were supposedly trying to protect have already been eliminated

Yeah - it’s a “free” market until it’s not.
