But again... why be mad at China? They are making big investments in their own people and industries to boost their own country's abilities and better their future.

Meanwhile the US is just trying to hamstring the rest of the world instead of doing better.

They're living the American dream y'all used to aspire to.

Because they use those tactics and cheap labor and slavery in order to become a monopoly. In that regard the rest of the world is already better than China so it's China that should be doing better.

The second GOP went nah, Dodge: "Hemi's back ya'll!" Instead of seeing that no one wanted the Dayton Charger because the price is outrageous for what you get. It's a beautiful car imo, but man that price just blows chunks. Their hybrid Ram is going to be the same I'd bet. Too expensive for what you get. It's also beautiful, but I'll be sticking with my 2010 1500 and rebuilding her instead.

US automakers are completely tone deaf to what the majority of people want. We poor af. We want low cost EVs. Low cost cars and actual small trucks again. I'd love a Ram 150 again. Small Ranger again. The 90's S-10. Even the newer trucks dwarf my 1500.

We need vehicle height regulation too. Not just production but in aftermarket. Want to off road or mud? You do you, but it can't go on the road like that. It has to be registered as off road use only. I did a 2/4 lower. That is perfectly fine to do 99% of the truck stuff I do. Including light off roading.
