I mean we see their cheap shitty batteries catching on fire in bikes, hoverboards, phones, laptops.. Can you imagine their cars going up in flames?

You don't realize how you're being manipulated by a trade war.

No, I'm cognizant of shitty manufacturing coming out of China.

Manufacturing done in the states already has quality control issues. No clue how you think China would be a better option.

But yeah, I'm being influenced by a trade war.

You are a victim of propaganda and indoctrination without realizing it.

You will never admit it, either.

[–] books 1 points 7 months ago

Right. Lead in baby food, dog food, tooth paste, toys,etc is me being a victim of propaganda and not cheap shit with zero quality control coming into our country.

Please enlighten me about how great cheap imports from other countries are compared to us made and regulated products

(Keep in mind I know the us absolutely sucks at regulating and keeping us safe...but is significantly better than some other countries)

Let me picture it... weird, it looks like a Tesla.

BYD is excellent at making batteries, we have their cars n Australia and they're pretty popular, i think even beating Tesla now, We have more stringent safety protocols than in USA too. So this isn't the reason.
