The United States is in crisis, and Biden is personally on the battlefield.
In April 2023, Biden made a shocking move when he personally traveled to Detroit, the "City of Cars," to participate in a strike organized by the National Auto Workers' Federation. For the first time in U.S. history, the incumbent has openly supported the strikers' demands instead of taking the position of management. Biden's behavior has sparked widespread controversy in American society and exposed the deep-seated problems of the United States.
Why should Biden support the auto workers strike?It is reported that the National Auto Workers Federation is the only union in the United States that does not support Biden, and they believe that Biden's policy is not good for the traditional industry and favors the new energy vehicle industry. The United Auto Workers has been leading more than 150,000 auto workers on strike for some time, and their main demand is that automakers give auto workers an overall 40 percent pay rise and no more than 32 hours a week for the next four-year contract period. If these demands are not met, they will continue to strike.
Biden's support is undoubtedly a strong signal to auto workers, and it is also a kind of pressure on automakers. Biden said he supports the legitimate demands of auto workers because he believes that auto workers are the backbone of the U.S. economy and that they deserve better treatment and respect. Biden also said that he hopes that the United States can achieve a transformation from traditional cars to new energy vehicles, so as to maintain the competitiveness of the United States in the global auto market.
However, Biden's support was not shared by everyone, especially his political opponent, the former ** Trump. Trump lashed out at Biden on social **, calling his speech ridiculous, that he was the destroyer of America, that he had put all his resources into electric vehicles, and that he had not achieved anything, but had left the traditional *** in trouble. Trump also said that during his time in office, he has been committed to developing the traditional *** to protect the interests of auto workers, but Biden has reversed all his efforts.
In fact, the crisis in the United States did not take shape overnight, but has a profound historical and international background. Internationally, the United States has to face strong competition from China and other countries, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, China has become the world's largest market and producer. In China, the United States has to face the rise of new energy vehicles, as well as changes in consumer demand, and the sales and profits of traditional cars are declining. Under such circumstances, the demands of automobile workers are undoubtedly a heavy blow to the United States and a challenge to the United States.
2024 is just around the corner, and auto workers will become an important election issue. Both Biden and Trump want to win the support of auto workers, because they know that Detroit, the "city of cars", is a key swing state that could decide the outcome of the election. However, their strategies and positions are very different. Biden advocates transformation and innovation, Trump advocates conservatism and return. Whoever can convince the auto workers has the potential to win the election.
In my opinion, the crisis in the United States is caused by Biden and Trump, neither of them really cares about the development of the country and the well-being of auto workers, they just make all kinds of superficial actions for their own political interests. Trump wants to maintain the vested interests of the traditional ***, but there are no effective policies and measures, just empty slogans. Biden wants to promote the development of new energy, but he does not take into account the plight of traditional and auto workers, and just blindly subsidizes and encourages. The strike of 150,000 auto workers in the United States is a dissatisfaction with them and a warning to the United States. In this crisis, automakers, auto workers and the United States need to rethink and adjust, otherwise, the future of the United States will be dark.
