"TikTok owner ByteDance would prefer shutting down its loss-making app rather than sell it"

Yes, that's because its purpose is not profit, as it's a PsyOp. If the goal were profit, they would prefer to sell it. If they sell it, there is a risk that documents which prove its purpose will be transferred, and blow the whole operation even worse than being shut down.

"It's probably because you're asserting that the mod down process validates your "facts"."

If you want to claim what I'm saying isn't factual, the onus is on you to provide some counter evidence, or at minimum, counter arguments. When people mod down an opinion because they don't agree with it they have surrendered the point.

Why are you so fixated on 2020?

When the orange goon and his cohorts stop whining about a "stolen" election in 2020, then everyone else will. Until then, they're the ones who keep bringing it up.

Democrats have been screeching about stolen elections since 2000. ?

No, they haven't. No Democrat has been "screeching" about "stolen" elections. None. No one is out there every day claiming that in any shape or form. In fact, the ONLY time the issue was raised of irregularities, Republicans immediately went to court to prevent any vote recount by stating there were no evidence of fraud. And yet, four years later, that is all Republicans talk about. All the "fraud" they claim existed yet have shown absolutely zero evidence for it. In fact, when asked point blank by judges if their multitude of lawsuits were about voter fraud, every single time the answer was no.

When you're done with your lying, let us know.

This is exactly what Tesla did for years. In addition to getting billions of dollars in socialist payments from the taxpayer, the company used regulatory credits to keep itself going. It didn't make money on its poorly designed vehicles.

Ford does not have the luxury of using those same credits so its numbers are more reflective of the cost to start up an EV car company.

On the other hand, hopefully this sort of technology will reduce the number of exploited people being forced to work in slavery conducting scams in call centers in India and other places.

They'll just be moved to forced prostitution or manually breaking ships. Then again, have you seen all those videos of "manufacturers" in India where everything is done in a room with no safety precautions whatsoever?
