The most common issue for BYDs specifically is tires that need to be replaced more often than non-EV drivers expect and optional safety features usually missing from the lower end models.

Most EVs are dead simple compared to ICE cars; when you have literally 100x fewer parts there is a lot less to go wrong. This is especially true when you’re not trying to introduce FSD or other superfluous features because you want to be a 1980s cyberpunk villain industrialist.

The foundation of capitalism is Profit is King.

The free market, aka competition, is the least profitable method of production for a company. It’s terrible for your bottom line. Profit is the only thing that matters, and specifically Profit by the Metric evaluated by those with the purse-strings; i.e. in the US this is profit per quarter.

‘Free Market’ economics is not only not limited to capitalism, capitalism is inherently antithetical to competition and the free market and will always seek to eliminate it entirely.

Feel free to go back to reddit, where you ‘people’ belong.

I said the opposite, actually, the problem is your work is your entire life. Jobs are there to enable you to live life. They are not your life. They are not what you do, they are the necessary component that allows you to do what you want to do because we live in a world that does not value human life.

So you favor dumb people over competent people?

Sounds about right for the average hiring manager. People don’t care about your organization. The incredibly inefficient system of capitalism they were born into requires them to exchange the unrenewable resource that is their time, the only thing they have in this universe, for arbitrarily valued currency which changes value constantly through no action they make, so they get the privilege of continuing to exchange their time for more of this currency, until their flesh suit is too broken to continue this exchange.

No one has ever been excited about working for your company. A few learned to fake it. A few simply aren’t capable of complex thought and treat working for your company the same way they’d treat a colonoscopy or birthday party because they literally can’t tell the difference.

So now I have to stab every person wearing airpods if I don’t want to be spied on by the Five Eyes intelligence agencies?

Every day I’m thankful US tech is less and less popular outside the west.

The diseases the US has been experimenting with since the 1950s, many times on its own population e.g. the Tuguskee experiments?

…The results have been terrible for the entire world besides the US.

Actually I was exclusively talking about China and SEA, not Europe. While there are a couple of European countries that are aiming towards socialism most of Europe is pretty far right.

I’m correcting your point. Yes, a lot of the US is conservative. Most of the world isn’t. Only a US-Centric viewpoint would define liberalism as anything other than a conservative old-fashioned ideology only held by people that worship nazis.

How is the US propaganda source that statistically only handles a partial clean up of US military and intelligence community actions ‘far right bullshit?’

If I come into your home, kill your pets, piss in your fridge, and mutilate your children, but then I pay someone to come in and give you some new food so I can print in the news paper that I am kindly and benevolently feeding a victim of a tragedy… am I the good guy?

No. I am attempting to generate positive propaganda to help people ignore the fact I caused the entire fucking situation to begin with.

There are no USAID projects that cannot directly be linked to a US military or intelligence operation. None. Not a single one.

‘Conservative’ is conserving the old world. Conservatives in the 1800s wanted a return to feudalism as a reactionary backlash to liberalism.

Liberalism and liberal ideology has been the only ‘valid’ ideology for states for 2 centuries.

It is conservative to defend liberalism. It’s conservative to defend neoliberalism.

In order to be ‘progressive’ you have to at least be a ‘radical’ socialist that wants the abolition of capitalism.

Conservatives do exist here, there are plenty of people that actually believe Harris would have been a good president or that the US is capable of good actions.

I’ve even see people unironically support USAID and the NED. That kind of far-right bullshit is why some of us left reddit.

If Europe were nuked in 1945 instead of Japan we’d have been in world peace for 80 years.

The F-15IA can be taken out by S-300s and even squad-level anti-air. Given their failures in Iran (who has undoubtedly now shown every freedom fighting group in the region how to counter them) that seems like a pretty bad purchase.

This is like buying tanks in 2026, unless your only targets are unarmed civilians you don’t really have a chance anymore. And while israel has been the single most significant source of civilian deaths since WWII, completely overshadowing all of the US’ other nightmarish actions, they still gotta take out a few military personnel if only so they don’t lose as many people when jacking off their own dead for their creepy breeding programs.
