Do they even know that??

Being good for a group of people is not the same as them knowing that you've been good for them. This is eternally where Democrats fall flat on their faces.

Do many of them live in Alberta?

Imagine being so corrupt that you call Canada, of all countries, as terrorist haven.

Or the more likely answer is that they have always hidden behind Free Speech laws. They have known to keep their nose clean because if they did do anything illegal, they would get the book thrown at them.

Why do something illegal, when bamboozled idiots are freely throwing money at you?

It's like the old mafia cliché. These mob bosses used to work in the underground to launder money and were always afraid of getting caught by the law, but their kids got smart and simply went into big business to do it legally and out in the open.

Sometimes that cheap price ends up coming with a high cost. The US is an auto manufacturing country. Simply letting cheap Chinese cars come here would cost hundreds of thousands of well paying, stable jobs. The same people who feign concern that their iPhone are made with near slave labor in China, will completely forget about those slave labor conditions for their cheap Chinese EV if it saves them a few grand. We have enough stuff made in China. The world is at a level where it is frighteningly dependent on that one country for a whole ton of goods. We don't need to add cars to that list as well.

But it's more than just that. We have safety and emissions regulations. The emission thing isn't a concern for EVs, but that's kept lesser foreign brands out for decades. The safety thing is incredibly important though. As recently as just a year or two, Chinese cars were folding up like an accordion in similarly stringent European crash tests. We have enough carnage on American roads as it is, we don't need these poorly engineered Chinese EVs to add to that.

The US government offers EVs a rebate, but that only applies to cars built here. That rebate can really help in lowering the price of EVs down to similar-ish levels as what it would take to ship a Chinese EV over here and sell it. Sort of. Also to sell a vehicle here, you really need a dealership network of some kind. Tesla has shown that it doesn't need to be a traditional dealer network. It can be more like storefronts, but at some point there has to be some place where consumers can see your product and that costs money and adds to the total cost of a vehicle directly or indirectly. Things do need to get repaired at some point as well, so consumers aren't going to just buy a car if there isn't some kind of repair and maintenance facility nearby. Chinese brands lack any of this infrastructure

So China can keep their cars, we don't need them here.

I find this data very suspect. Greece is one of the poorer countries in the EU and somehow it takes fewer generations than far more rich countries like France and Germany? The only thing that makes sense is that they mention the mean salary, so Greek wages are so low that you don't need much to get up into the mean salary range, I guess.

She looks like a funny little goofball.

The fact that after all these years, after so much damage his media empire has created, various governments around the world couldn't find something to arrest him on is beyond frustrating.

That's probably because they might have a piece of paper that says they graduated with a degree, but they actually know absolutely nothing. People complain about the "diploma mills" in the US, but that is absolutely nothing compared to what goes on in India. These people are totally unhireable.

Who else would love to see a phone similar to the G1 get released again? Modern specs, larger screen, but a similar housing design, just less clunky.

What if you take two?

Geez I haven't been to one in ages, but I always quite liked the chocolate milk station.
