American companies have admitted outright that, if Chinese vehicles were allowed in US markets, they wouldn't be able to compete.

It's a better product.

We have given up a lot to baby the American auto industry. Our health is poorer due to non-walkable cities and the stress of commuting. Our highways tore through a lot of minority communities. Our carbon footprint is higher than it could be. We can't even have cheaper EVs.

I want NO internet connection when I drive a car. If you want to spy on me it should be on a bullet train. Or a walkable city with safe bike lanes and shit. But yeah the ol "I smash your sand castle so I have the only sand castle" or "my slaves are getting demanding and you are out pacing me so I will shut off the flow" elementry. This is it folks! Enjoy... decades in the making. We will be like GB only worse with the die back. Global capitalism remains and this is your cage... the world works the way it does because drug addicts want it all and they are willing to take us all down. AI didn't take your job your economy is shrinking.... you are no longer on the spread sheet. We are out running debt and coming up with shit like fractional reserve banking.... I mean come on bro... it should be obvious by now this is a illuision... a system built off of hopes and dreams held up by faith. Faith is nothing. They will burn through all the old weapons only to crush you through military spending. Same ol shit on both sides. Both parties are wack but you be like "this progressive said they won't do that" then they will. Over and over again... I am the bad guy this was what I was asigned at birth I suppose
