The Great Tirewall
Getting tyred of these jokes
Ok America is definitely going to ban Chinese solar panels and guarantee an extra degree of warming
They absolutely will.
These fucking people I swear, they believe in market fairies. They think that if they ban imports, domestic supply will suddenly materialize from nowhere. They’re willing to ban but not willing to invest. Unless it’s some hare brained scheme where they write a capitalist a check for $20B to build a $2B factory
Why would anyone build a big panel factory when the tariffs can just as easily be reversed? Also where are we supposed to get the knowledge and equipment?
It’s all so profoundly stupid, backwards, and FRUSTRATING when you clearly have an example of an alternate system that works and yet refuse to adopt it because of greed, of all things
Ironic in a way that productive forces are so developed in China that the communists have become free marketeers while the capitalists are back to doing hardcore 18th century protectionist mercantilism.
China really learned from the mistakes of the Soviet Union. They let the capitalists in and the capitalists gleefully destroyed their own productive capacity for a quick profit. This is what long term planning uninterrupted by the endless moving of deck chairs on the Titanic (American elections) gets you.
Agreed but to be fair, I think the Soviets would have done this if they could have, but they were facing an imminent invasion from the Nazis and had to batten down the hatches. China’s borders seem more secure to me compared with the USSR, which had lengthy borders with imperialist countries.
Very good point
That is a very good metaphor! Thank you.
“cheap” lol
Thank you for protecting us from inexpensive, quality cars
Don’t you want to buy a $100k Playstation 1 graphics Truck which gives you an amazing drive of 35 miles before breaking down?
Thankfully there’s no inflation and transportation is supremely affordable in the united states
Most environmentally progressive president
Capitalist are such fucking pussies
pussies are good tho
“You will only buy our overpriced low quality American EVs and you will like it plebs.” - US state dept
What EVs lol
The Ford F-150 Lightning, obviously
Worse Joules/Km than the gasoline F-150
Damn lol.
I saw a lib on tiktok saying “Chinese cars are not banned in America they just have a 28% tariff!” Not too long ago and even with that I was like wow that’s a lot lol
I mean I’m not aware of any Chinese brand that is in compliance with US regulations, so yeah they are illegal to drive in America.
I’m sure they’d just say “well those manufacturers could just follow U.S. regulations” or something
If you can’t beat em, block em. That’s the American way.

Like I’ll ever be able to afford a car that’s newer than ten years old anyway.
Just as expected. it doesn’t matter if you do tariffs if you leave it to the free market. there has to be planning for protectionism to work, the capitalists have to obey you like in China or have it be state owned else they will keep making overpriced garbage.
Won’t someone think of all the poor collusion and inflation these affordable and well made cars would harm!
I just want a new EV that doesn’t cost 40k+
I just want trains to every city
The BYD Seagull starts at 11-12k. Double that and it’s still relatively affordable. There is no way forward for US EV manufacturing, they’re cooked
