This is BYD selling cars for less than the billionaires you care about want to.

Nothing more.

If an American company badge engineered these cars and sold them in the US at US prices, you would be fine with it just like you're fine with the economic warfare against the poor that US manufacturers and China have been allies in for decades.

We've had of ecocomic warfare already. It was just fine for US companies to hollow out domestic manufacturing so China could build the manufacturing infrastructure that could have been built in the US.

But now that a Chinese company is building things that undercut a US company, you want protections for US billionaires that weren't afforded to US workers.

Those who call themselves liberal have been doing shit like this for so long that this rank hypocrisy is part of what it means to be liberal.

If liberals don't like it, they should have had some integrity instead of ridiculing the concept as a "purity test."

That's called a liberal.

That is the shittiest fast food place.

Arby's. Long John Silver's. Subway. And Burger King isn't run by overt bigots like Chick fil A. Not that they're good or anything, but they're McDonalds tier.

I took my kid because he wanted to try the king of burgers. He was so disappointed lol

Kid learned about royalty early.

Yeah. Used to be native. Like the slop kill switch currently is. Then won't be.

Remember when they had a "kill switch" for javascript?

Sounds extremely tempting for manufacturers. Some of them may even make it so you risk cutting through the battery to repair their disposable device. Their device because it's certainly not yours.
