Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

It isn't. Of course established brands make quality stuff; their brand depends on it. It's the US/Canada/Europe level of qa expectation and local laws that are driving the quality.

And cars are not only expensive as fuck, but also are an absolute necessity in most of US/Canada. I wouldn't blame anyone for getting a fully loaded $30k brand new electric car over a similarly priced "budget" Kia. Might as well take advantage of the fact that China is subsidizing the other $20k.

There's almost nothing that can break in an electric car over typical lease period, but I wouldn't want to keep it past the warranty or get into a serious accident in it.
