there are areas where China has better protections than the US for ordinary citizens
Too bad they don't extend to not being executed in a van for cheating on your taxes.
Oh, did you know? China is a significant market for US automakers.
Only until US cars are no longer aspirational to anyone because China makes better ones in every category, which is coming quickly.
They did it with rare-earths... it is not about economic sense it is about power.
That was for economic reasons, ID10T.

You're a fucking idiot. The court system is part of the process of that conviction you respect so much because you're a douchebag cuck.
Maybe that could have been replaced with a digital gauge that reports to a central system, but if it ain't broke...?
But it is broke.
You could park a small camera in front of it, with some machine vision, and have that talk to the mothership. This robot is just that, but can move from one gauge to another.
This robot is that, only with a lot more latency and cost.
But I'm sure someone here will graciously explain why I'm wrong and how IPv6 will save the world.
You're wrong because it's not supposed to save the world, only to save us from having to half-ass update to IPv8 in a few years.
Wonder if I was modded down by a Nazi, an animal abuser, or both
We are second in manufacturing only to China, so the idea that we stopped manufacturing is ignorant. On brand though.
"and one must have been duly convicted of a crime to have the second imposed upon them."
So you think our courts are fair? Ok noob.
Do you want a list of ways in which America is evil or what? Because it's fucking long.
Please keep in mind that competent automakers are a critical part of military readiness. Can you imagine Stellantis trying to come up with a replacement for the Abrams today? It makes me ill just thinking about it.
Don't these batteries have to be charged
You really thought you had a mic drop moment there, didn't you? Holy fuck. STOP THE PRESS, BATTERIES HAVE TO BE CHARGED!
Go too far to the left and you get folks who hate EVs because in their mind everyone should just be living in a walkable city and riding a bicycle.
While you're in fact not entirely wrong regardless of winking, as I have personally encountered those people in passenger rail debates and they are irritating fucking idiots at best (literally nobody on the planet is more ableist or dismissive than bike nazis) I think the leftiest leftists want transport systems that work for everyone.
...but their police are already shooting unarmed civilians in the street, like ICE! What exactly do you expect them to do more over there?
Destroy the death vans, for a start.
America is shit in many ways, yes, and some of them are the same as China. That doesn't make China not shitty. It just means there's no good guy.
The USA also has slavery.
Yep. A whole lot of Americans haven't read the 13th amendment, or didn't understand it (which is somehow even sadder.)
The USA has a shortage of tool and die manufacturing, we can't get the workers. Nobody wants to train for years for that field when they might get automated out of existence.
