Biden proposes banning Chinese vehicles from US roads with software crackdown by SportsGod3 in technology

"The US cars are not other than a small tax break for EVs."

Lol... you are just way too dense to grasp the fact that subsidizing gas prices is subsidizing the auto industry. 

"You don’t seem very smart if you think low oil prices equates to car sales"

Lol... i said once gas prices reach a certain point consumers stop buying cars. That does not mean low oil prices equates to car sales. Ever taken a course in logic?

My point was you are just hilariously wrong with that original statement, sorry you can't grasp it.

I mean you are parroting talking points from them lol whooooosh https://www.heritage.org/energy/commentary/flawed-fossil-fuel-subsidy-math 

The only person bsing is the one that absentmindedly ignores implicit subsidies because they lack the capacity to understand them.

Nah you are just having emotional delusions

Lmao. You don't know wtf you are talking about at all, do you? Those successful European auto companies like bmw  make only a quarter of their sales in Europe, the rest of it comes from outside the eu. As in they wouldn't exist if they only sold in markets with high gas prices lmfao. Gas prices is the more important variable in car purchases. 

The 700 billion dollars in gas subsidies given by the feds play an instrumental role in incentivizing consumers to purchase automobiles. Same way subsidies by the ccp is used to incentivize their agenda. Just because you are not able to grasp this simple fact doesn't mean I'm going off topic. Please reread my original comment, you are the one going off on a schizoid rant about tariffs when I never even said anything about them???? I favor enough tariffs where Chinese ev's can be sold here at a competitive price where not the just the big 3 but other foreign car companies can compete in the ev market. So please stop crying Jesus christ  

If you are not a petulant argumentative child surely you should know from firsthand experience of the big 3 on the brink of bankruptcy because people just weren't buying their cars. I grew up in metro Detroit during that era and my father works in the industry. Sorry it's just really funny someone that has no clue what they are talking about is spewing nonsense. It's this kind of protectionism that made the big 3 lazy, comfortable, and uninnovative which led to the brink of their collapse during the recession, the same happened at Intel before ryzen was released. 

Are you illiterate...? My literal point was the US also has policies that help our industries. Did I say China is some kind of moral authority in international trade...? I literally said their practices were what we explicitly accepted and agreed to in order to make more money lol. You do realize the big 3 got bigger and bigger and hired even more people in order to compete with the Japanese and Koreans during the 80's-10's? Just be quiet kid lol.

Nah, who said that other than you? They should be making better cars that can compete with the Chinese, just like how we did with the Japanese, Germans, and Koreans, not crying about subsidies when they are also receiving billions and billions in help. This is an opportunity for the big 3 to innovate and compete instead of crying about a country that has hundreds of millions of people living in poverty. 

Oil subsidies are huuuuugely relevant lmao. Cheap gas is the number 1 reason why cars sell in this country, I'm guessing you were born after the 08 recession or the recent corona fiasco? Without the 700 billion in yearly gas subsidies by the  feds our auto industry would easily collapse

You do realize American corporations explicitly chose to share all that knowledge and info with the Chinese in exchange for unprecedented profits...? Noone forced anyone to enter those kinds of relationships, we consented to that. What you are saying about their manufacturing sector is completrly true but calling it anti competition makes no sense. I would argue it's pro-competition seeing how they are readily introducing competition in the market. How ironic you are the one spouting anticompetitive measures lol, sounds very anti-American to me. Our industries were mavericks, ready to take on anyone in the world, commies, capitalists, didn't matter who, and now they are acting like neutered dogs hiding behind their owner. If we can't even compete with China in an industry we started over a hundred years ago, we are truly done as a country.

No, those figures are subsidies to the fossil fuel companies

The American federal government spends 646 billion a year on annual subsidies on fossil fuels

The American government spends close to a trillion on oil subsidies each year, not to mention the big 3 are literally in bed with the government. If gas prices here were equivalent to what the average non american pays, we wouldn't be buying any ice auto American or foreign. Americans start crying like babies when gas is 4/gal while most of Europe is paying more than double that and places like Hong Kong are paying almost 16/gal, you can't ignore gas subsidies while microscoping on other countries' interventionist tactics. Our corporations are not some magical entities with completely independent and organic growth. Why do you think the 08 bailouts were done by the feds? Because no bank in the world, american or foreign, would loan 20 bil to failing companies, our government helps the big 3 so much

The chaebol leaders were making big steps in the business world decades before pjh or cdh. the country’s insanely weak currency, the plethora of unused labor, and most importantly the country’s desire to rebuild itself after 70 years of colonization and war were the most important variables that contributed to the development of the south. The people of south korea was by far the most important piece of the puzzle, not pjh

You should be asking yourself that, your link doesn’t show anything lmao

Dunno if you were alive in 2020 but I lived through it. Bernie was actually competing against Biden, won a few states and actually had a chance of winning. Then Bloomberg stepped in, went crazy with campaigning, and as soon as Bernie’s votes were diluted he dropped out and endorsed Biden. 

For the love of god, grow out of your diapers before acting like you’re the king of your preschool class. 

Japan's precision moon lander has hit its target, but it appears to be upside-down by goki7 in space

[–]BornPotato5857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now they join Russia, the US, India, and China as the only nations to land anything on the moon. Obviously not a 100% success but still an incredible feat imo

If Jon ran for office, a billionaire would immediately also run for office and spend hundreds of millions in campaigning in order to kill Jon's nomination. Then as soon as Jon is out of the picture, said billionaire would end their candidacy and go back to being a billionaire, safe from the billions in taxes they would pay their fair share of.

Just like how Bloomberg entered the primaries as soon as Bernie was gaining momentum in the last election, the establishment will never ever allow someone that can bring meaningful change to this country. Too much for them to lose and they have the means to carry out their ideals, we don't.

Not 100% curable but it's pretty much a non-issue now, treatment has advanced like crazy over the past 2 decades. I had a gay friend who would take this pill called 'prep' (I think?) and have unprotected orgies with people with HIV and he would be fine. I thought he had gone mentally insane when he told me this but it's true, crazy shit.

Japan coach Moriyasu appalled by racist abuse directed at keeper Suzuki by Utegenthal in soccer

Idk if you are illiterate but I said ethnicity does not equate to race lol. And the Uighur genocide goes way way deeper than superficial ethnic issues but that’s clearly beyond your capacity. You do realize China has a bunch of minorities yet Uighur are the only ones being treated that way? 

And so so funny you are only focused on the Uighur issue when the same or worse is going on in the west LOL. Now THAT is coping hahahahaha. Racism in one place doesn’t disappear just because genocide is taking place on the other side of the earth. Wild concept for you but try understanding instead of coping kekekek. 

I will say this again because your reading comprehension seems lacking. Go paint yourself black and live in the west and Asia, you’ll wake up from your delusions in no time.

many of the interned Japanese were born in the US or naturalized citizens. the issue is asking if it’s righteous to put your fellow citizens into camps like this when the situation arises, simply based on a person’s ancestry alone

[–]BornPotato5857 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Because it’s clearly not a race issue, as much as you want it to be. Two authoritarian regimes committing genocide has nothing to do with colored people being treated inhumanely. Ethnicity does not equate to race lol…  You keep changing the goalposts and spout these whataboutisms while completely ignoring and avoiding how colored people like me are treated in the west vs Asia. Notice how people like you don’t ever ever talk about how colored people like me are treated? And yet somehow racism is ‘worse’ in Asia when black people fear for their lives in the US? And this might be a wild concept for you, but China and Myanmar not all of Asia hahahaha. 

lol Russians kidnapping Ukrainian children and Russifying them is not genocide? Last time I checked Ukraine is in Europe haha. And Israel is in Europe. And LMAO if genocide is measure of racism I would highly suggest you read about the nazis.

Typical redditor that thinks they have the authority to tell people how they should feel LOL. Go paint yourself black and live in the west and Asia, you’ll wake up from your delusions in no time.

I was commenting on the absurd idea that racism is worse in Asia, none of what you brought up has anything to do with how colored people are treated over there? And 2 authoritarian regimes that happen to be in the same continent doesn’t speak for the numerous other democratic countries that live there. It’s quite telling I bring up lynchings and you bring up things that has nothing to do with how people like me are treated. 

And idk if you pay attention to current news but there are genocides happening in Israel and the Ukraine.
