yummycheese posted:teslas in china already look outdated junk compared to the stuff chinas domestic manufacturers are cranking out. yeah. they literally can't update their models because of musk's "innovative" manufacturing processes. idk why american consumers haven't caught on (probably because we're a nation of too-rich idiots) but tesla sales have been tanking in china for a while, forcing them to cut prices to the bone (iirc they barely make a ~2% margin compared to ~9% in the US) so basically any sort of excise on teslas would be disastrous for them, and let's face it, they're basically the only american EV manufacturer with any real footprint there. plus it would really piss off elon, and that would be very funny

reminder that when don jr was in college, trump went to go pick him up for a baseball game. junior was dressed in jeans and a jersey for the team they were supporting. trump slapped the gently caress out of him and told him to go put on a suit.

one of trump's biggest self fulfilling prophecy was donald trump junior. he was paranoid about naming him that. "what if he's a loser?" he pressed his wife at the time. of course trump ensured that junior would be an embarrassment with how he was raised.

during trump's divorce with ivana, trump was trying to use junior as leverage. he was like, agree to this or i'm keeping junior. ivana stood her ground and trump relented within hours because he couldn't stand to be around him.

dioxazine posted:likely the regime's attempt to preserve rust belt and union votes given recent polling, no? In a tangential and misguided way, sure. But I'd bet the primary driver is American investors who want to be able to share in the profit gained by American companies in these industries that stand to make money from both less competition and assumed future subsidies (exactly what Yellen was just yellin' about being unfair for China to do, but that we gladly do here all the time, in agriculture for instance). Cato, WSJ, the 20-somethings at the Economist are criticizing it from the perspective of the rest of the economy, consumers as well as other producers in the supply chain who depended on cheap Chinese PVs, etc and stand to lose from this. So like, some US capitalists stand to gain a shitton from this move (ex. traditional auto manufacturers trying to break into EVs) and were leaning on their bought politicians, while most others stand to lose a bit.

dioxazine posted:likely the regime's attempt to preserve rust belt and union votes given recent polling, no? given the way that current events appear, it seems unlikely. dems don't make as much when they win. i'm also not really sure that either party cares about retaining anyones votes. our system continues to work exactly the same if 200k people vote, or 2 people vote.

all countries protect their domestic auto industries so I don’t think the US is particularly out of step with the rest of the world on this, but it does mean yall are going to be driving some absolutely dogshit cars for the next few decades.
