One could argue that China’s governmental subsidizing of the industry just shows the commitment they have to be a leader and dominant player in the future of transportation worldwide.

Does the American government have such aspirations? Does the American Auto industry have the vision and goal to adapt to a disrupted market?

In my opinion the arguments surrounding this topic come down to which country is going to work harder to play a leading role in the future.

China is making their bet, and the quality of Chinese EVs is increasing extremely rapidly. If they can so easily dominate the American Auto Market that tells us that the Americans have been sleeping at the wheel and need to make some tough choices about spending. We can curtail the onslaught through duties and various taxes and regulations but not indefinitely.

I’m not even sure I oppose this timeline

She understands there is a problem, just doesn’t understand the solution. Good on her for having privacy concerns and paying attention.

Yeah, it doesn’t matter what he says. He’ll decide later based on the direction the wind is blowing.

Hahaha if true it would be some poetic justice, but unfortunately these dweebs are already hanging out there half the time and loving the oligarch lifestyle, so unless that’s taken away they will die happy

Wish the media would just start to ignore these, but instead they have to be there in case he says something incredibly FUBAR in which case they’ll make a lot of money by sharing the news first.

See this giantic dildo? Ima just gonna set it right over there. FYI.

Coming from an entrepreneurial background, I tend to lean towards the advantages of allowing high economic growth incentives for the people who invent or improve on things in the world. I think this is the best incentive structure ever conceived for promoting advancements.

But more and more I realize that as a society we need stronger antitrust controls to keep the behemoths from becoming modern day fiefdoms.

If a company corners a market, it should be pushed into divesting so that it doesn’t become a black hole and vacuum up everything around it, which inevitably leads to bad outcomes.

This kind of a policy could serve to reboot the investors so they have to go back and invest in something new or competitive again, rather than horde it.

Tribalism

It looks like Joe pulled a fairly crafty move here.

He held on long as possible, skated through the primaries as incumbents typically do, let Donnie burn up his warchest and tire himself out on all of his old guy quips.

Then with this switcheroo, Biden singlehandedly decided the next nominee and launched her off with more momentum than nearly any candidate ever gets.

Joe rides off into the sunset with his aviators and Kamala comes out kicking ass and chewing bubble gum on her first day with an extra $100m and poor Donnie hasn’t a clue what hit him (again).

Some double entendre there. Love it.

Thanka for this comment, I wasn’t aware there are so many other options

Civics, politics, and world history classes. Is nobody taking these anymore? Sheesh.

I see this often. That tells me I’ve done enough scrolling and it’s time to get back to work.
