Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The US auto industry is in big trouble. China now makes 75 percent of all electric vehicles sold anywhere on earth. US automakers make around 5 percent. (www.nytimes.com)

They did it to themselves. By limiting competition in a lazy move to maintain dominance they have lost.

Oh, they haven't lost. It's us who have lost. Government is protecting their profits.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

For now. Its always been the government who helped create the captive market.

They have definitely lost.

Can I start losing then? I’d love to have great grand children that never need to work a day in their life.

Oh no they don't think they have lost. No one will force them to give the money back unless there is a purge. Even then no one will be asking.

Don't worry the invisible hand will save them
