crushing our economy

Oof, it really sucks to think you have a point when you're really just defending the egregious profits of American car companies.

If we really cared about competing, we could raise taxes on the ruling class and use that money to subsidize EV manufacturing. This could be coupled with government mandates that prevent car companies from charging high prices "just because they can."

Unfortunately, your opinion is not unpopular because most people who think they're right are really looking out for people richer than them.

    Colonialism can be done right. It's completely possible for people from more-developed areas to help those out in less-developed areas.

    The problem is that everyone from these developed areas has been conditioned to believe the only reason to do anything is to make someone else richer.

    Seems like this would all be solved if we got rid of insurance companies and just had universal healthcare.

    The boomer generation really fucked the rest of us when they fell for the insurance scams.

    I hope the Ukraine military wises up and starts to use guerilla warfare tactics to fight an asymmetric war.

    They could keep Russia busy for decades the same way Afghanistan resisted the Americans.
