President Joe Biden is set to “transform” and “remake” the entire auto industry—“first with carrots, now with sticks”—notes the Washington Post, as if dictating the output of a major industry is within the governing purview of the executive branch.

This is state coercion. It is undemocratic. We are not governed; we are managed.
