   @joe @too_little_caffeine the government doesn't want us to have affordable EVs, that's why they're cranking tariffs on cars like the BYD

     @RememberUsAlways @joe @too_little_caffeine it's funny how we used to be like "communism is bad and everyone will be poor" and now we're like "communism is too powerful, they get too much prosperity and an unfair advantage in the global markets"

     @RememberUsAlways @too_little_caffeine @joe if cheaper products come to our market it gives our citizens better purchasing power. They can buy the cheaper product and have money leftover to spend on other American goods. Tariffs are a tax on our own citizens to protect inefficient domestic industries and it is shameful.
     
     By the way we have our own money printer and provide our own unlimited funding. We call them subsidies, grants, loans, and bailouts. If China wants to devalue their currency they're welcome to do it. We do the same every day.

     @feld

     Both the EU and US put tarrifs in #EV to protect domestic products.
     #china supports #BYD with unlimited Government funding. This is WHY China can undercut every nation in production of any product.
     Thx #communism
