The transition

Roamers said:
Consider an alternate perspective: It is tough for US manufacturers to compete with a foreign product that is subsidized by their government. If we allow these products in, damage our industry, more power to China in the US. That is a bad thing by the way, no balls need to analyze, just a brain.

Do you support cutting auto workers wages down to that of chinese auto worker to reduce US product cost?

In my younger days, I'd agree vehicles were past their useful life in less than 7 years. Not today. I'll also say, if one needs a 7 year loan, they are buying too much vehicle.

If one can believe AI summaries, the worldwide EV market is up approximately 25 percent while in the Untied States it is down 25 percent. It doesn't take balls to figure out why.

And also when you mention "balls" you seem to imply that we need to implement North Korean-style juche. In order to protect innocent Americans from someone selling a product at a lower price, I guess. In some parts of America we still believe in Capitalism.

Bluntly the problem with the American auto industry is that it hasn't been ran by people who actually build cars since the Eisenhower years. And you won't fix that problem with protectionism. You'll just make it worse.

"too big to fail"(look at them now.all this schise riding on the backs of the people,making sure the majority will never have anything their own( even in the best case scenario you have 3 yrs to pay for your right to call something your own,you cant opt out,it will be wrest from your shaky hands.

Because I dont watch terrestial tv, or the big 5 mainstream channels..whatever you call it..legacy media..
I miss out on what the masses devour and watching the game last night it refreshed my conceptions, firstly Google Gemini was being hammered, but just the logo, no obvious push more than the brand itself.
EVs were everywhere, mostly budget models, but the only tech spec was kwh of the batteries, and that is being chosen as the selling point , no mileage or recharge rate or performance.
Gone were the approved diverse occupants cruising empty dream roads, they were very much...heres the car.

thank you that was very informative,though I wax nostalgic for the "Boomer" days I realize we are at a crossroad,the next generations fond remembrances need to be of being towed along in a bicycle trailer,doubled or the first nice ebike, rather then the odious debt inducing infernal carriages that are wrecking the ecosystem,more govt money needs to be in the form of grants for things like neighborhood attractions the community store within walking or biking distance,we need to form respectful,elbow room rich communities rather then segregated ghettos filled with hate and crime,the welfare system definitely needs reform ,I wish for high speed rail( which apparently is never going to happen in this country or commuter EV air taxis( which are feasible now) it might be even a good idea to restore states sovereignty rather then the corpus enslaved to special interests and the plutocrats on the beltway.
Right now I am concerned that the DAs on "Capitol Hill" are going to get the rest of the world against us and somewhere somehow we are going to be thrust back into the early 1800's comparative level overnight,Nuff said!
