It’s mildly amusing how these people speak about Chinese EVs as some kind of unstoppable force running on alien technology, when most are just good cars that are inexpensive and reliable.

It may as well be alien technology when you're the person in charge of making GM products.
Free market capitalists freaking out when socialists enter the free market because the socialists free market better than they do
Love seeing capitalists serenade and jerk off the virtues of free market when they're the newcomers to an industry, but the moment they establish any sort of foothold/ market cap they then do whatever they can to strangle the "free" part so they can retain their position and power
Also love seeing all the dipshit liberals who love to conflate free markets with capitalism as if they're the same thing, even though it doesn't take more than a few seconds of thinking to realize the purpose of a free market runs completely contrary to the goals of capitalism
You're telling me that I'm supposed to compete and innovate in the free market? What are we? A bunch of commies?!
first it'll be Chinese EVs, than it will be Chinese Teleporters, then it will be Chinese Ideas.
we must get back to traditional American ideas like Ranch Dressing and Duck Dynasty, both of which are available as subscription add-ons to the all new 2027 Chevy Petrolox HT1
MSRP $79,000.
Slippery slope for American auto companies he means
