“They’re much cheaper than comparable cars!”
People never think about where the savings come from, as long as they can buy stuff.
Seeing people who call themselves left wing defending globalism will always be funny to people like me who are left wing and were protesting against it back in the day.
If you don’t consider the impact that sending yet more manufacturing jobs to China will have in the long run and the fact that they have great value because what China is doing is called dumping and the goal is for them to have a monopoly so they can eventually increase prices without having any competitors.
Freaking hell Lemmy has a huge hard on for BYD.
Valve’s response to George Floyd was to give each employee a certain amount of money and let them choose which charity to give it to (if they did give it to charity), which means they could just as well give it to an anti BLM movement if they wanted to.
And you think stupidity is exclusive to the US? Italy elected a fascist, Germany’s far right party is gaining ground…
Popular support for something doesn’t mean that thing is good.
“Eat the rich!”
“Including Gabe?”
“Woooow there cowboy!”
I hate the hypocrisy.
You can find popular support for plenty of shitty things. I could point 70m people in the US supporting a very shitty thing!
When you’re in a monopolistic position you don’t need to do much for people to decide to sell in your store instead of going for alternatives, who would have thought?
You can ridicule it all you want, if you keep watching it you’re one message you agree with away from starting to consider that “hey, maybe what he’s saying isn’t all wrong” and then down the spiral you go.
There’s tons of people who were on the left that lived an event that traumatized them and they then turned to the right.
Guess what, it’s your job as a parent to keep your kids off the Internet then.
Still shows that you’ve got a whole lot of time to waste and that you might be susceptible to eventually fall down the rabbit hole
Yay, wasted resources, how fun!
“We don’t want to be involved in Ukraine anymore”
“Ok, we’ll take care of it then…”
“… Hey, don’t do that!”
It’s not that they don’t want to be involved, it’s that they don’t want Ukraine to win, otherwise they wouldn’t care about Europe defending it.
Thing is, they truly don’t really have that much. The US has more and it’s not actually rare, it just was at the time when it was discovered.
Yep, get ISO from Microsoft’s website (don’t even need to sail for that part) then activate it using a super easy to find tool…
Yeah anyone who runs a node is laughing at those numbers
Neither is privacy then
But privacy is? We’ve been eating food much longer than we’ve had any privacy…
Lulz, privacy without food to eat won’t be too useful
The issue is the way they’re trying to put an end to it. A plan like the government giving priority to local manufacturers and forcing international bidders to build factories in the country is one thing. Imposing tariffs without any plans to compensate locally is just plain dumb.
