Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What's wrong? If americans can't afford a tesla or a ford SUV or a big GM truck they can just take public transportation

I’m wondering if only US vassals and those geographically close to the US will be the only countries doing this, or if most of the world will follow

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm only expecting america, the eu and those close to them. Probably with some exceptions within the western bloc like Hungary or Serbia

Sounds about right. Looks like Guatemala gets fucked once again. Though Huawei wasn’t banned here and neither has TikTok.

If the entire EU doesn't do it then the sanctions will fail within 1 year due to the second hand market.

Isn't Hungary building a BYD plant? I wonder if the US government will sanction them? They're a favourite of the fascists in the US government so I doubt it.
