Co-signed by a Republican and a Democrat from Michigan, the proposed legislation would expand existing federal restrictions on connected cars from China.

    If you can’t compete, just legislate them from the competition.

        The free market of capitalism legislation

          Good thing that we have a free market where our companies are free to lower prices, reduce investor payouts to fend off foreign competitors.

          Oh wait, they will never do that, they’ll just put their hand out to daddy government to block competition rather than you know, actually compete.

          I’ll bet when their kids run a 100m dash, they go around and kick all the fast kids in the shins so their precious crotchfruit can “win” the race.

          Fuck all these greedy companies and their bullshit. I don’t want America to turn to shit, but I think it’s too late now. May as well get cheap cars while we still exist as a viable country.

      They actually did try, but Bidens battery valley was shut down, and what EVs they did make did not sell.

        I guess I meant more of an earnest try. I feel what they did was like a reluctant high school student doing their homework by signing their name and randomly marking something in the assignment with no real effort.

    These pro-capitalism, pro-free market, small government chucklefucks suddenly want government intervention and regulation. Funny how attitudes change when it’s not working in their favour.

      People should buy some good old handywork from the US and A.

      Because it’s really funny when they have to use the shit they produce and it blows up in their face. Like the cyber truck, or every other car.

    If priced the same, I would buy BYD over a Tesla. I own a model y and got to check out the BYD models in Costa rica. The build quality and battery tech is much better than Tesla. I didn’t test the self driving because it wasn’t available in Costa rica. Tesla self driving is barely passable.

    This probably would’ve mattered back when Chinese products were still considered laughably terrible.

    Sounds like a big hassle. Have they considered just making them illegal?
