Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The problem is China subsidizing their cars to suffocate the European manufacturers. When all the European manufactures are closed or sold to China, you'll see the real prices.
EDIT: Also, soon? They are already here.
The subsidies aren't special at all compared to US and EU ones, and they're apparently going to be phased out over the next 5 years. This supposed evil scheme just doesn't seem to exist; the truth of the matter is that China just makes better and cheaper cars.
Why wouldn't they?
After decades of being the west's factory they'd be stupid not to learn.
And better is just upping the QA more than their western customers (who want the cheapest possible 'cos line must go up).
Better is a whole lot more than "upping the QA". The cars here are genuinely innovative and, more importantly, the logistical and fabrication techniques are innovative.
One of the major reasons the big name Chinese EVs are cheaper than their roughly equivalent western counterparts is because the companies are vertical, not horizontal, in their supply chain.
Yes. I'm aware that they subsidize the shit out of a lot of stuff. They saw the chance and took it. Of course, I'd like to see European cars, as that also means workplaces and plus for our economy.
For a greater time we already compete a lot with Japanese and Korean cars - I mean they build good cars. But in the end it seems more fair. And for what I know is that they also do very good options on the EV market - but will hardly compete with BYD or Xiaomi vehicles.
Yes. They're subsidizing so hard that the EVs are dirt-cheap HERE. You know, all those companies running at a loss to sell ... domestically ... while somehow ... innovating.
Compassionate fucking Buddha this endless whining about "subsidies" gets tiresome after a while. Grow the fuck up you idiots and leave the kiddie pool.
