I think part of that is because we need their oil and their wood more than
they need some of our stuff.  Part of the reason we shifted to getting 60%
of our oil from Canada was so we wouldn't have to rely on the Middle East.
Should we go back to getting oil from countries that don't like us?

that this is one area where Elon didn't get his hands into it so that could
be why.

As for the economy, the markets would disagree with you there.
