Why is everything the size of a fucking tank? What happened to small cars that can fit into my 1890s drive designed for carriages and horses? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
If BYD were available in the USA to consumers without tarrif fuckery, all domestic brands would ho belly up in a year
True, but kind of hilarious that you’re basically explaining why tariffs are used. Like, fuckery? Tariffs are absolutely vital. It’s when you have no fucking idea how they work a la MAGA that they get used as a weapon instead of a tool.
You don’t want BYD coming in tariff free exactly because it would collapse not just the domestic brands but also the entire economic infrastructure around them.
So you agree that capitalism’s primary use is not to ensure the supply of everyone’s needs with the most effective usage of resources.
But rather: it’s about competition on an international level. And the former kingpins (so-called “US” and Europe) try to stop their inevitable decline.
No, it is not about competition on an international level. It’s an economic system for a state, not an economic strategy
It’s an economic system for a state
Umm, we’re in international economy. There’s no capitalist state that doesn’t do international trade.
And the states are in competition with one another. That’s why tarifs exist.
That’s correct. Not sure what your point is?
International economy means that there is a competition going on between the nations.
If Chinese companies sell more EVs, Germany’s economy suffers.
True or false: A capitalist nation can trade with a communist nation.
it’s good to mention those prices are only for China. In Europe, the current model after tariffs and taxes is around 36k€.
