That’s a pretty good one too

he’ll yeah

It’s like it was written specifically to be.

Well you see, Yellow Man Bad

Didn’t these ghouls put massive tariffs on Chinese EV’s and solar panels? How the fuck is that helping?

Oh, okay tankie, I guess you just don’t understand how protectionist measures work, but that’s unsurprising as communists never even understand Economics 101. They boost US industry by encouraging domestic prod–

Will these protectionist measures work? While the previous tariff measures did reduce the number of Chinese solar panels coming to the US (with an 86% drop over the 2012-2020 period), the billions in subsidies, from first Obama and then Biden, did not revitalise the US solar industry. On the contrary, the American global market share of the solar industry has considerably decreased since the original tariffs were placed — from 9% in 2010 to 2% today. Meanwhile, China’s share of the industry rose from 59% to 78%. There’s no reason to believe that the recent tariff increase will reverse this trend. There’s even less hope that they will help spur a domestic EV industry.

…

It is thus no surprise that while the US government tries to block Chinese EV imports with tariffs, US firms are trying to recapture the EV market by licensing the superior technology of lead Chinese firms! Ford (in Michigan) and Tesla (in Nevada) are partnering with China’s CATL to make batteries. CATL says that it has structured its licensing deal with Ford so that it is compliant with “foreign entity of concern” rules. For its part, Tesla already uses Chinese BYD cells in Germany; Ford and GM use BYD batteries. Even Trump doesn’t like the idea of a ‘great wall’ against Chinese FDI in America. Speaking at an Ohio rally in March, he signalled an openness to Chinese firms building plants “in Michigan, in Ohio, in South Carolina”—so long as they were prepared to employ American workers.

…

US manufacturing hasn’t seen productivity growth in 17 years. That makes it increasingly impossible for the US to compete in key areas, and Biden’s ‘industrial policy’ will fail to deliver unless it can end that stagnation. China’s manufacturing sector is now the dominant force in world production and trade. Its production exceeds that of the nine next largest manufacturers combined.

okay, well, look. it’s actually very unfair to draw upon the history of uh, 14 years ago. what really matters here is that china is 1984 orwell 429,024,902 dead in tinyman square mao killed 1000 billion ughyurs.

Libs always fucking do this when comparing their ‘achievements’ to anyone who isn’t in a position of power.

We made this symptom of the problem 10% better while continuing and exacerbating the root cause! You activists and complainers haven’t done anything!

Perhaps not making the root cause worse is preferable.

Nothing shows true commitment to stopping climate change like blocking EVs and solar panels.

hey it’s not an easy job to set up purple rim lighting and drink a glass of wine while saying “hello my pets” and then delivering a bland take over the course of 45 minutes

idk maybe she changed her game since i last watched a video five years ago

hanging out with war criminals

She said posting a pic of her with is NOT an argument!

Also the people with all the power aren’t actually doing shit. They say they are, then in ten years we will learn that oops that money got gobbled up in corrupt nepotism and naive initiatives that has zero chance of working.

Their climate plan will not work, the student debt is a farce that they seem to hand out piecemeal to slowly remind us that they’re trying! But not very hard it seems.

They lost abortion rights and have given up immigration policy. Conservatives are coming for trans rights next and gay rights are right behind that and the Dems have shown they won’t fight for anything.

You have to be bloody delusional or connected to the money to think otherwise.
