If all that is true, then the US should subsidize US ev’s to the point where they are price competitive and open the market to competition where US manufacturers can market against the environmental and human right issues with their Chinese competitors. That would put competitive pressure on Chinese manufacturers to clean up their supply chains and consumers worldwide would benefit.

There is no incentive for US companies to improve their products when they are protected from market forces by import restrictions.

Are you in the US? Because if you are, they’ll never let you buy or import one.

It’s amusing to me that the same folks to deride Chinese car manufacturers because they are somehow cheating by getting support from the government are the same people demanding that the US government artificially protect the US car industry by blocking Chinese imports. The point being that neither side actually objects to government participation in the market. But, one side uses it to make better products and service consumers, and the other does it to protect worse products from market forces.

Honestly, I would screen potential employers by whether they are a Microsoft shop or not. Fuck ‘em.

I’m saying that the world has an America problem that doesn’t get solved until America faces actual consequences for the shit we keep doing.

As an American I can tell you that Americans are not. The world needs to kick our teeth in.

Goddamn, it reproduced already?
