Well, I'll have to admit, I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

Which are your top five SF books?

Ford can build that kind of car. They can't get batteries that cheap.

That is the argument Milton Friedman made.

Sounds like you know what the problem is. Think of it like the DeBeers diamond cartel on steroids.

Then the subsidies will start again until those new companies disappear.

The USA is able to develop batteries. China has taken control of the lithium pipeline, the same way they've taken control of the rare earths pipeline (through poor environmental and anticompetitive practices). The CCP doesn't care if they poison their own people.

Dumping means selling below the value.

You are wrong because you don't care what is true. You are a liar. You don't want to participate in conversation, you only want to spread your lies.

How do you compete fairly against a country that uses slave labor and no environment controls?

It's amazing how much your words sound like a Soviet apparatchik. You're not interested in truth, you don't care about that.

If your idea of style is "expensive = style" then you have no style. His watch would be indistinguishable from a $10k watch without close inspection.

Wow, I had no idea you were dumb enough to fall for the Red Scare.

You seem to be confusing "wanting to get rid of communists" with "wanting their countries to be poor and dangerous".

It's quite amusing that some troll follows me around modding down any comments where I suggest humans should cooperate with one another. They are literally proving my point by moving things backwards with their solitary cowardice.
