I would bet 5$ that Stellantis’ management is fully aware. They just don’t care. They know that this move will save the company X millions every year and they can give that money back to themselves or to share holders.

I’ve been a professional software developer/architect for 39 years now working on everything from device drivers to application software to financial line of business solutions. Never once have I seen laying off domestic engineers and replacing them with low wage offshore staff succeed. Most often, assuming the…

My brother worked in corporate bankruptcy. The firm he worked for would be hired by the debt holders which most of the time were VC firms to figure out the best way to recoup money. I only bring it up to say the dude has worked alongside a LOT of CEOs. Both the outgoing CEOs that were at the helm into the bankruptcy…

“Tavares makes as much as 657 American workers”

Capitalism simps keep squawking that if a CEO was not payed that much companies would go under. I am sure that Stellantis would be doing as well or better if you paid a different CEO $1-5 million/year. A friend recently retired from corporate finance in Chicago and after a working life in corporate finance he said he…

Late stage capitalism, not surprising.

$39M is more than $100,000 per day, every day . . .

We may need to stop building certain kinds of houses, and start building others. There is a shortage of “starter home” properties, yet most of the new construction I’m seeing, even in high density housing, is luxury housing. I can certainly see why: the financial incentives definitely encourage builders to aim for…

All of that money spent, and not a single American OEM can be confident that the country itself is behind the idea of EV’s, which is where the problem lies. China and it’s government are firmly behind EV’s and have been for two decades. America and it’s government changes it’s mind every four years, which means…

Oh good, protectionism in defense of fossil fuels. Hurrah.

If China was playing fair then I would be against these tariffs. But they are not. Time and time again their companies and government has been caught stealing IP and trade secrets. And with these EVs their plan is to dump product on different markets at below cost in order to drive out all other competition.

Not only has 1 party turned their nose at EV, their orange idiot has all but said he’ll nix EVs altogether (in an homage to the oil and gas industry).  Eliminate all support for cars, chargers, etc...essentially dooming the whole concept.

All of the comments that show up on these tariff discussions always ignore half the story to make arguments in favor of cheap EVs.

As a technology professional who has been burned by countless knock-offs and garbage products (many sold by Amazon), I mostly support these tariffs. It’s too nuanced and above my pay grade to really dive in, but...

Because unfettered capitalism exists only to boost the bottom line of the companies we want it to. 

Because what you described is $500K now. (I’m selling one)

There are still plenty of non-Tesla EV chargers out in the wild. And you can always charge from home, which I consider a necessity if you choose to own and EV because that is where you will do 99% of your charging anyway. 

I’ll bet that fuckwad bitches endlessly about gas prices too, while getting 10mpg because he stuck a bunch of sails on his Jeep. 

My right-leaning uncle thought he was being clever once by saying that, and I asked him why republicans are such pussies and afraid to say fuck joe biden. I’m not too pussy to say fuck donald trump lol why are they such little sissy men. He did not appreciate that, and tried spinning it as them “being more classy” and…

This is literally the definition of a snowflake no matter what side you are on... His fee fees are hurt and he wants justice.
