Subsidized R&D and subsidized manufacturing make for products that cost less. If those Chinese companies weren't getting almost everything paid for, they couldn't sell those vehicles for prices that low.

Congrats on 15 year old propaganda. Today they can build better quality cars faster and cheaper. And before you open your yap about safety, these vehicles pass EU safety standards which are more stringent than what the USA requires.

This way you can avoid having to deal with the social implications of work shortages. You even at the end managed to shift the blame to the people losing their jobs and their livelihoods.
This way as society collapses around you as long as you aren't personally affected you don't have to do anything. I mean anything except talk about how fucking awesome you are and how much everybody else are lazy and shiftless.
All I can say is you better hope you die of old age before the effects of your line of thought come home to roost. You can only ignore the collapse of human civilization for so long. Especially when people with literally trillions of dollars are making it happen sooner. I used to think guys like you would get away with it but Elon Musk and the rest of those pieces of shit have accelerated things so much I don't think he will anymore.

If there are no ads, how do you pay for it?
Not my problem. If people aren't willing to pay subscription fees, then that's fine; social media platforms can die off.
I would note that Mastodon follows all of my suggestions except the subscription fee part, and it seems to be doing OK.

Sure, but it enormously slows the spread of fake news outside the circle of friends.
Many people start out reasonable, but get sucked into all kinds of wacko beliefs by sponsored or suggested posts.

I'm not in charge of any, but I use Mastodon, which follows all of my suggestions except a subscription fee, and it's fantastic.

I stopped donating when editors deleted the cultural marxism article and now all you can find is cultural marxism as a conspiracy theory.
Probably because it's correct. Can you explain "cultural marxism" without googling it?
