The company took a staggering $19.5 billion write-down tied to its EV business, one of the largest impairments in auto industry history. That’s not a win. That’s proof that we were lied to — and we paid for it.In this episode, we break down: • Why Ford’s EV retreat isn’t a business failure — it’s a government failure • How subsidies, loan guarantees, and mandates wasted billions in taxpayer money • Why Americans never wanted forced EV adoption in the first place • How CEOs folded to Washington instead of standing up for shareholders • Why “regulatory changes” really mean Americans aren’t being coerced anymore • How the EV fantasy mirrors past government disasters like the Chevy Volt And why state-run capitalism never works — not in autos, not anywhere!
