We have free market capitalism. China doesn’t partake in free market capitalism - they partake in mercantilism with heavy state sponsored subsidies. Mercantilism isn’t free market, and is very detrimental to free market capitalism. So we highly tariff them and put up barriers to them attempting to ruin their markets.
The EU is doing the same exact thing at this very moment.
You’re getting down voted by people who have yet to realize this is the truth. Car guys know the ins and outs of these arguments but the same people that are screaming America free! Are clueless to the actual bullshit regulations that don’t make any sense at all.
Yeah as a car enthusiast I have wanted the Toyota hilux champ in the US for a while, I think it'd be an enormous success but it's illegal. I'd also like some of the UAZ 400 series cars because I really like how they really haven't changed since the 90s but they are also illegal here. While I'm not really interested on anything Chinese I think they should allow them to be sold here as we preach "free market" but restrict a lot of things that might make ford and GM rethink making a base model F150 $40k.
It will. They already said that the rocket and crazy stuff like that will be invitation only. That means they'll produce just a select few for the richest people to keep as collector items for 1/2 million or more. You'll get a standard sports car for the general public
Don't get me wrong, whatever the red thing on the right is looks really lame but I assume it's at least functional. Nobody is going to buy a car that costs like a yacht, does backflips in the air, and runs on jet fuel.
I wish everybody would stop with the AI and self driving cars and just invent teleportation already.
I literally ended my post with a demand for them to invent teleportation. Im not against innovation or dreaming, I'm saying making toys the majority of people are not going to see in their lifetime let alone buy seems like a bad direction.
So then you also think that Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, McLaren and all the other hyper-cars are going in the wrong direction? I’m sorry, you’re kinda lame there. It is innovation like that, that brings lots of cool stuff to regular people. Oh, and cost? I heard this new Tesla will be priced at $250,000. That is CHEAPER than all those other hyper cars, and it is faster.
That’s where the perception is wrong. Innovation brings advancement where eventually everyone benefits thru larger implementation following technology perfection. All your standard stuff today…wasn’t standard 40yrs ago.
In 1978 Mercedes Benz cooperated with Bosch to produce the world’s first production ready electronic 4 wheel multi channel anti lock brake system. That was the innovation that made today’s modern ABS systems practical.
You are defending a shitty euro-trash car over a back flipping flying car. 10 bucks say your opinions come purely from your hate of Elon Musk for switching parties.
Oh, that’s paid for by the car manufacturer? cause this post seems to be based on innovation not the shitty healthcare systems we both have.
In the USA you can get top notch and it costs you out the ass or in Europe you just stay on the waiting list until you die which is beside the point because we’re talking about car tech here.
Because my taxes pay for it by offsetting the cost of your defense which you rely on us for. The only thing keeping Vlad from steamrolling over all of you is The United States. But sleep well under your mountain of plushies while you dream of your socialist utopia.
"Reasonable" <- I had to wait 7 YEARS to get my specialist appointment for a debilitating chronic disease (I'm nowadays classified as "severely physically handicapped")
"Affordable" <- My tax rate is around 75%. Thanks, socialism.
No. You get to pay taxes for bottom quality healthcare you may not receive in meaningful time.
In America you can choose exactly the price and benefits you want. This is freedom and you will never taste it. Enjoy paying for someone else’s broken arm.
Kinda. More like somewhat affordable sub-standard healthcare for the masses, while you’re taxed the shit out of and your rich people go to private clinics and the US for superior healthcare.
Affordable healthcare, but unaffordable defense capability. Precisely why the whole of Europe widely relies on the US if not for financial backing but support and capability. Your welcome.
Edit : let’s also keep in mind that China and maybe Russia would just get all cheery if the US decided to pull out of European defense. Best of luck to ya. You’re gonna need that affordable healthcare.
Taxes are a thing though. You are also paying for people that shouldn't be there in the 1st place.
My insurance is ~$150 a month, with a $2000 deductible. I had 2 procedures done this year and it cost me my deductible, the rest got paid by my insurance. Oh, and the clinics where going out their way to get me in within a week. I actually had to reschedule because I had a project I wanted to finish before going under the knife.
I remember paying way more than that when I lived in Europe.
Which European country are you from? My country's "Free Healthcare" has me waiting around 24h for urgent care, and over a year for a medical appointment if I'm lucky (provided they don't delay it for another another year), and I still get a bill in my mailbox to pay for the "free healthcare". I'm better off having a health insurance and going to private hospitals. So basically, I'm paying for both but only use one of them. The difference is I can't choose to not pay for everyone's healthcare, because I'll go to jail. The wonders of socialism
