Competition is good for the consumer.

except what is happening now is not really any kind of fair competition. the european manufacturers exported they know-how to china, which was strategic failure, it was stolen, and now it is sold back to us with the advantage of cheap chinese production.

they will ruin our production and we will be in a similar situation where we were during covid, when the political leadership were saluting the china cargo airplanes on tarmac, otherwise it would not bring us masks, syringes, or any other stuff whose production we had given up and outsourced to china

unless we turn the ship around quite soon, we will be regretting it soon and for a long time.

i am lucky, my city has excellent public transport, that doesn’t stop people from using cars though. be it because of pure habit, or because public transport is not solution for everything.

so i’d rather if our european car industry wasn’t decimated by the chinese one.

I would say go with whatever company that doesn’t have a CEO throwing Nazi salutes.

I have no doubt most CEOs are psychopaths, but they also don’t own a global Nazi mouthpiece like twitter

So did you mean “CEOs not throwing a Nazi salute” or “CEOs whose Nazi salutes don’t show up on your twitter feed”?

It seems you forgot what your argument is in a span of two rebuttals

You definitely sound like your advocating for musk.

You should work on your reading comprehension then

buy the car that isnt overtly a fascist car.

that isn’t really an argument in favor of china 😂

i am afraid it is just that most CEOs are sane enough to keep their embarrassing moments for their private life. do you think musk is the only narcissistic psychopath on drugs in the business world?

this is not advocating for musk, but it is important to be grounded in reality ;)

i hate musk, but i am not wild about our dependence on china either, so i am not really sure who to root for in this fight…

oh, then i did misunderstood, but i still don’t see what you are suggesting. maybe if you get assigned address you can have some limited p2p communication with nearby people, but if that is the case, a guy with a megaphone does similar job.

it is far easier to just shut down local peering center and transit for major providers. far less moving elements to take care of than cell towers, which would not even address the whole problem (“problem” from the government’s point of view)

has found that Uber’s use of dynamic pricing has led to higher fares for passengers and lower earnings for drivers, whilst increasing Uber’s share of revenue

so, working as intended…
