Wyoming families should not foot the bill for expensive electric cars they don’t want and can’t afford.

Most states don’t come close to paying for their own roads unless they are skipping maintenance or not doing any other projects for a given year.

One would just need to include the odometer reading every time a vehicle is registered or the current registration is renewed.  

The military personnel and industrial base in the US aren’t going to work at Chinese pay grades though.

Not to mention that the bulk of the aid money is spent on US goods and services.

Not to mention who is going to work in all those factories? They are having a hard enough time meeting employment goals as it is.

And transported by US citizens at least for fent.

BYD has already passed them for worldwide BEV sales and it is accelerating opening plants in South America, Asia, and eastern Europe. Musk’s antics are only going to make it worse.

Mexico told Trump what they’ve already been doing, pressed him to restrict the flow of firearms out of the US, and he “paused” the tariffs like he did with Canada.  Doing something about the trafficking will not be popular with his base as it will lead to another “Trump slump” with firearm industry profits.

That’s because they used a fossil fuel powered grid for determining the breakeven mileage.

And throw in massive amounts of campaign finance violations.

I’ve ridden in a couple different BYD brand EVs while in Mexico City. The Uber/Didi drivers said that they really liked them, commented on how economical they were compared to their previous ICE vehicles, and one went as far as saying that it was the best vehicle he’s ever driven. From a passenger perspective, they…

hopefully the solid state ones will be safer

They should be able to get a trail load or two after the insurance pay out.  There’s a 500 million liter glut of tequila on the market, so they should be able to get some replacement booze that’s a lot cheaper than what they’re claiming to the insurance guys.

That and they are stuck in an extraction economy mind set where spending money on the education and health of the workers is an expense that just reduces profit, not investments that make the workforce more productive.

That would require the US to re-evaluate what it’s been doing for several decades and actually start helping people deal with their problems.  It was even part of a joke in a narco themed comic strip.  What’s the characters’ biggest worry? If the US has a better health plan to get people out of drug addiction, it…

The Foxconn deal was a scam right from the beginning. Expecting that many people to be hired by a contract manufacturer in the US was a fucking joke. If it’s not highly automated, those jobs better involve building high margin products and Foxconn, generally, doesn’t do that.

The funny thing is that Nippon was going to do all of that in order to buy out US Steel. Blocking it is going to fuck USS over.  It’s too bad Biden didn’t let Trump do it and get 100% of the blame.

Shit, if I were Claudia Sheinbaum I wouldn’t even bother with retaliatory tariffs. Let Trump keep punching himself in his little toadstool dick and open up more agreements with the rest of the planet while focusing on internal security priorities.
