How does the SEC allow this?

People around here keep bringing up these totally unrealistic solutions like ‘tiny homes’, when the most obviously solution is to just move them into huge warehouses that are partitioned into small rooms. And put these warehouses a good distance away from residences. Those people who behave themselves and try to…

It’s starting. The devolution of society..

And Chinese law allows Chinese prisoners to be used as labor too. That’s easy.

None of those things are true any more. Your Iphone is made in China and it doesn’t involve any ‘stolen IP’. The majority of Tesla’s global production is now in China, and there is no stolen IP there neither. China produces something like 90% of the world’s solar panels. No stolen IP there neither. Same with…

The word ‘perfunctory’ doesn’t seem to be in some people’s vocabulary.

So you are OK with forced labor when ‘we’ do it. Just not OK when ‘they’ do it.

Chinese EV’s are cheap for the same reason why Chinese anything is cheap. Same reason why China is the ‘factory of the world’.

The US itself is heavily into slave labor:

More like ‘drive it like you rented it with full insurance’

Interesting. They are probably self-insured and don’t have to report accidents to anyone. 

Housing cost is a different issue unrelated to manufacturing. This is what happens in a society with too much capital floating around. People have a tendency to park it in real estate.

A country that doesn’t make anything will be doomed to be a two tier economy

China’s unfair trade practices......

I don’t understand how you can say the $7500 incentive goes to the manufacturer, when it clearly goes to the car buyer. Aside from Tesla, pretty much every other EV maker is either losing money on every EV car they sell, or barely breaking even. 

And we wonder why we have inflation.

But it could go on your credit score

it’s let down by the somewhat kit-car-ish interior, but the exterior looks flawless. Kudos to this builder for working with a late model Mercedes, which must be a nightmare to work on.

I chose the wrong function on my control panel

I don’t know that this is correctly characterized as compressive loading and micro-buckling. Typically those terms are used for forces pushing along the plane of the carbon weaves. Say for example, you have a flat sheet of carbon fiber, and you try to crush it by pushing inwards on opposite edges- that would be…
