An informative short on how the US will only regulate something to make it worse.

The US kept putting regulations on cars to keep Citroen out of the US market because they didn't want their better and safer cars competing with the US market. Instead of making better cars, they created regulations that would force Citroen to make worse cars in order to sell in the US. So instead of trying to enter a market that didn't want them, Citroen just didn't bother.

You can see the parallels with Chinese EVs at the moment. A classic case of the 'free market' falling apart as soon as it encounters any competition that isn't friendly to capital.
