I have a hard time thinking it’s not deliberate. They’re trying to protect US car companies by putting tariffs on Chinese car imports, but what that’s doing is leading to complacency and a lack of competition. Ultimately harming the US and setting us back while allowing the wealthy shareholders to hoard wealth while not needing to worry about staying competitive.

It almost feels like the Trump administration is trying to help Chinese companies at this point.

Yes, the consumers who can’t afford anything.

I assume the NHTSA will pay for it? Good luck, fuckers.

Yea it’s exactly like the dotcom bubble. People thought domain names were worth millions, when realistically people just came up with other domain names or used different TLDs like .net or .org.

I love using Claude and not paying any money for it. I know I’m the product, but it just confirms that we’re in a massive bubble and these valuations are ridiculous. Not real money. “Trillion-dollar” is meaningless if it never touches the real economy.

I’m genuinely confused. They’re closing the strait, until the blockade is lifted? The fuck does that even mean? Isn’t closing the straight a blockade, and the blockade is making them blockade the blockade? Seriously confused.
