      Our overreliance on Chinese manufacturing is absolutely obliterating us on several fronts, not just EVs.

      The question shouldn’t be “Why aren’t we allowing shitty Chinese EVs?”, it should be “Why are we allowing shitty Chinese everything instead of relying on domestic production or production from states with half decent standards and practices?”

      Isn’t it funny how the average person was more prosperous decades ago when we accomplished a lot more domestically?

      Fuck China

        Didn’t Harper kind of screw us over by signing FIPA back in 2014? I haven’t heard anything about it but those Chinese EV companies will probably sue us over these tariffs.
