The idea that he was trying to do anything was laughable. They just identify wedge issues and campaign on them. Then he signs a bunch of executive orders in the first week and spends the rest of the time watching TV, golfing, Tweeting, and insulting reporters.

Has the time now come that the “shoe is on the other foot’?

Tada! This is how you control the Western world without starting a war...Western economies car making cannot compete on an EV level...especially while they making their base ecomines uncompetitive via addessing climate change. Germany anyone?...China makes whitegoods by the millions, so it can easily make an EV. Doesn’…

No earthquakes, no wildfires, no alligators. It’s not bad.

I have lived in Ohio since 1985. It’s OK. About the best thing I can say about it is that most of its animals aren’t trying to kill you.

Yeah. We (rightfully, IMO) criticize Tesla for how they treat their workers, but they have to spend money to at least pretend to follow OSHA rules.

It’s hard to compete with the cost savings of Slave Labor.

It wont last long.  Videos are coming out all over China about the build quality of these cars, and how theyre falling apart not long after leaving the dealership.

I laugh at how Biden, Trump, U. S. and European auto industry execs think/thought they can somehow slow or contain China’s growth and dominance over automobile markets. At least Japan and Korea have the right ideas and attitude for survival. We’ve entered the consequences stage of unchecked corporate greed/dollar as a…

One of my friends was a firefighter/EMT, and he had an exemption to carry a handgun before he turned 21. He said a lot of first responders carry because they get called to crime scenes, and if there’s a fire or medical emergency, they can’t wait for police to secure the area first. So I’d give the fire chief the…

It is.... and it isn’t. Every other day there’s another story about slave labor being found to have been making auto parts or otherwise being used against their will. China basically decided to remain a communist country but are super capitalistic when it comes to business. At the same time the way it treats and…

Well the problem is, first China is massively subsidizing their EV industry to the tune of about $15 billion US a year, they are also well know for stealing IP, I would be curious how much of their EV tech is stolen EV tech from other automakers, versus fully home grown, and second the pay difference for employees in…

Another one of those “if I was in the right location, I’d get this” cars (see the Fiat 500e “free” lease deal). It’s not feasible while living in Cleveland, but if I was 15 minutes from a hydrogen pump? Take my monies

If they throw in a Hindenburg, I’m in!

Idk, he used his mirrors more than 90% of people and he doesn’t have a phone in his hand. Seems better than most.

1st & 2nd: Bring on the higher prices.

Completely apolitical, purely economic question — what is the point of moving auto manufacture back to the US if it results in, say, 20% higher finished product costs for consumers? The pro stance are jobs (but of course, they cant be union ones, b/c unions are the devil), but if paying US wages requires a 20% bump in…

Yep.  And there are a lot more of them busily making our roads unsafe, as opposed to a 101-year-old driver here and there.  Bet this guy also knows how to work a manual tranny and knows what a lug wrench is too. 

Notice what he’s NOT doing — looking at/typing into/distracted by a phone. While wrinklies chartering a land yacht to procure produce via 50mph on a highway is sub-optimal, so are yoots going 90mph scrolling thru Insta and texting friends their party plans while balancing a hot venti and QT sando in their laps.

America’s rail / subway infra is atrocious, but I can at least understand many towns / cities are too spread out (another policy failure) to justify it. That said, the lack of decent bus or delivery options for the elderly and disabled is just mean spirited.
