swole-doge USA when manufacturing superpower: open up your markets or else

cheems USA when can't compete: we are very concerned about privacy

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 44 points 7 months ago

Only American companies should be allowed to sell your user metrics for data harvesting. Folks, that's just common sense.

i love the conflation between workers and owners/management in those first two sentences.

the banning of the grey market / the mile high wall around the US auto market and the rolling destruction of pedestrian and public transit infrastructure are the only thing keeping the big three alive.

if kei-trucks and trains were here, the big 3 would fold in a single quarter.

America loves the free market until it isn't them on top

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago

So good they need to ban Chinese cars just so they can compete

Japan MAYBE. At least I used to be able to repair my old Mazda. But this is a 2003 model we're talking about.

Guess I know who robbed my copium warehouse last night

I have yet to see a lib be able to explain why China harvesting data is worse than US corporations doing it (for US citizens). Like, even if you assume the evil see see pee even cares, what are they gonna do with my information about driving habits. But Google and Facebook don’t even make a fuss with sharing your info with those can actually use that data to harm you.

You know, I never thought about it that way before...

[-] fart@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago

wait guys i thought we needed as many electric cars as possible to save the environment

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 39 points 7 months ago

Really incredible how the Plan™ for climate change is to pray that the Market™ causes rapid uptake of green technology made extremely cheap by Chinese socialism, but the American capitalists are going to mess up even this terrible plan because they'd rather boycott China. ancap-good

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

That's because it's always been about the Plan B^TM^, which is to continue to build bunkers for whichever failchildren end up holding the bag when capital-friendly climate solutions prove themselves to have been insufficient.

Americans can simply commute by train or bus if cars get too expensive

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

Thanks to capitalism, I get to choose what kind of product to buy. The manufacturers have to make me the best car that I want, just for me. And if I don't like the car, I can choose to buy a different one. I love the choices I get under capitalism to buy cars from where I want

Every other politician would do the same. America can't compete with industrial policy. They can only cheat and steal.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

He still can’t die fast enough

When PLA tanks make quick work of the White House lawn

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

Damnit, I want a Chinese car. They make cheap plug-in hybrids over there.

[-] pooh@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

I suspect what will end up happening is similar to what the BYD bus plant in CA does. That is, manufacturing being done in China and assembly being done in the US (or possibly Mexico).

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Mother Fucker!

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

Beijing Biden, folks, he loves China and doesn't want to nuke them like I do. Many people are saying this. a-little-trolling
