Ok, I'm done with the troll...
Nice, typical leftist behavior to start calling someone names they disagree with. Thanks for outting yourself.

All I can say is that I will do everything I can to prevent owning any serious electronic anything sold/operated by a chinese company. I do not trust their government at all and any company operating there is undoubtedly subject to compromise by them.
And yeah, I'm aware that my own government leaves a lot to be desired.
What brand of computer are you using? Phone? TV? ...

This. Soon the Big 3 will just be niche market's at the rate they are refusing to adapt. The USA has already conceded the eco-box market to foreign makers. Ford literally does not make a car other than the 20k Mustangs they sell.

If they give EV's to Tesla and Chinese, they'll only be left with oversized luxury ICE. A good market in the USA, but certainly not a large presence.

Superior technology will prevail, it may just take more time.
I'm pretty sure I saw some late model small Ford cars in Greece a couple of months ago...

I KNOW I saw a lot of BYDs.

I wouldn't live in that pos state if you paid me.
So your profile says your location is the 3rd rock. Thanks for confirming you meant under it, not on it.

When I was a kid, my grandma used to tell me how Frank Buck, an early 20th-century adventurer and animal collector, would catch monkeys. He'd take a hollowed-out coconut shell, drill a hole in it big enough for a monkey to stick his unclenched fist into it, stake the shell to the ground, and put some peanuts into the shell.

The monkey would come along, discover the peanuts, reach in to grab some, but be unable to pull his clenched fist (full of peanuts) out of the shell. When a human would come along to snare the monkey, the monkey was so greedy as to refuse to let go of the peanuts to get away.

My grandma's advice for life was: "Don't you be like those greedy little monkeys. Know when to let go of something and get away."

So, that's much of humanity's problem, especially here in North America. We're greedy little monkeys who don't want to let go of our fossil fuel peanuts even when the Collector is coming for us. We're very good at kicking the can down the road. Who cares if gloom and doom is a few hundred or a few thousand years off when we can live for today and let some future generation try to figure things out later - and likely too late - trapped in a zoo of an existence.
