What a strange thing to say about a pretty normal looking car

Hmm yes, i believe this car has the same evil expression as the Chinese. No i will not consider why i think this further
Oh yeah? Well YOUR cars look like THIS!!
does racist squint
It looks a lot less evil than most of our modern cars
Hey, you show some respect to the 2023 GMC Child Pulverizer.
More of a fan of the '24 Ford Infant Annihilator personally
sure they were going for some anti chinese racism but funny enough this is the face that came to mind looking at the car's front end 
jesus christ!
"but is there a deeper cost?" instead of "but at what cost?"
Daring today aren't we?
They realised it was too facetious to put "cheap" and "at what cost" in the same headline
The deeper cost is fuck cars
This
But
at
what
COST????
But at what cost?
But at what cost is the lower cost?
If EU and UK wants to build their own EVs, the solution is to NOT involve markets. If you bring in private sector, it'll not be profitable for them . Build state owned enterprises and have the state set prices to match Chinese imports.
No, not like that.
“What about the poor wholesome British and European EVs?”
MAKE THEM, DUMBFUCKS! Every underemployed westerner is fucking begging you porks to get off your lazy asses and start hiring again, and start making things…but you all refuse to.
and what of the questions, hmm? what of the questions?
The deeper cost is that there are way fewer white collar do-nothings tampering with frivolities to justify their paychecks. That and subsidizing tech and infrastructure (including EVs) like any responsible country would and should do. It's the sort of investment that any dipshit who's played a Civilization game should be able to comprehend.
Capitalism trusts corporations to invest in the right things for the future, but they're not thinking about 10-50 years from now. Their goal is short term profits. Show growth for the next couple of quarters. But really they're just trying to not get eaten by a bear, and you don't need to run faster than a bear to achieve that; you just need to run faster than the guy next to you. Chevy and Ford have done a decent job competing with each other, but they'd be blown out of the fucking water by BYD, and that's why they're tariffed to hell and back in the US.

You could say western car companies are 😎tariffied😎.
China EV car manufacturer's doing ads for us Anglos like...
scary narrator voice
"China's electric cars are cheaper..."
dramatic pause
"... but is there a ..."
dramatic pause, scary atonal sound effect
"... deeper"
musical sting
"... cost?"
