Their power trains. Engines are very important and when you cut costs in manufacturing it lowers the quality and the standards of quality on crucial parts of the engine. Hyundai had a class action lawsuit that involved about a dozen different vehicle models over a 15 year period where due to a casting flaw in the engine block it was common for the engines to consume/burn oil even with exceptional maintenance and proper oil change intervals of 3000 miles and this resulted in the crank case being starved of oil and when the crankshaft doesnt have enough oil to build pressure and send it through the valleys built into the block and cylinder head and drip back down through the valves and adequately lubricate all those running parts then the rod bearings which are thin slivers of metal between the crank shaft and the connecting rods which connect to the piston they end up getting small pieces of metal between them which scratches these bearings and loosens them and creates a very loud knocking sound that will now be permanent even if you were to top new oil into the engine immediately once it starts knocking from the bottom end the engine is cooked. Go to any junk yard and you will find many hyundais that were effected by this issue (that hyundai literally attempted to sweep under the rug hoping it would go away without doing anything to resolve the issue because it would have been to expensive to redesign these engines techs were being instructed by hyundai to tell owners of their vehicles that burning 2 or 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles was “within specifications” it was pretty damn absurd) in greater numbers than any other engine subvarients of other manufacturers. It gave hyundai/kia/genesis a really bad name in the automotive industry for years and that mistrust and dislike of Hyundai as a brand still persists today.
Granted electric cars are an entirely different animal i would still much rather spend my money on a brand that has shown a commitment to producing a quality product that lasts. One thing toyota does right is they assume people will neglect to maintain their vehicles so they over engineer their vehicles so that they will last longer under extreme operating conditions than they should. This is why it is so common to see toyotas from the 90’s and early 00’s still on the road today. Even if a toyota has some oil consumption issues As long as you keep toping the oil off it won’t be an issue. And when i say oil consumption issues i mean on a 30+ year old engine with 200-300 or more miles on it maybe burning one quart every 2000/3000 miles but no more than one quart per 1000 miles. Anything beyond 1 quart per 1000 miles is ridiculous and usually a symptom of a bad oil leak or sludged piston rings and means you need an engine rebuild or you can try an engine flush. (bG fluids engine restorstion flush kit is $350 for the kit but it works and is quite amazing from what i have seem) there are cheaper enfine flush products. One thing you can do is just mix 20% marvel mystery oil into each oil change untill you notice a reduction in oil consumption but with tbe hyundai thing this wouldn't fix the underlying issue which was caused by a poorly manufactured engine block.

Youre trying to advocate for the disarming of people so clearly you think that regulating guns the same way vehicles are (everyone over the age of 16 can buy them and have them) is not adequate.

And some drugs are regulated but the drugs that are prohibited are not regulated which exacerbates the issues regarding drug use that are politicized and manipulated to maintain prohibition at all costs.

We need to regulate police more than we need to regulate guns. As in we need to switch the standard thst it takes 8+ years of training to practice law but only 6 months of training to enforce it while armed. And those hired to be police are specifically chosen for their lack of intellect and willingness to blindly follow orders. But sure lets disarm the general public and concentrate firepower further into the hands of the class traitor attack dogs for the 1%

Now maybe if our society had not been relentlessly attacked from every angle by a covert fascist plot to kill education standards, turn the media into propaganda dissemination tools that benefit the established power structure and erradicate the progress of civil and labor rights advocacy to move backwards towards enslaved laborers as quickly as possible, maybe we would have a population that wasn't full of morons so afraid of guns that they believe the only option is to take away their neighbors rights to own and carry guns. Maybe if we trained people on weapons safety from a young age maybe if it was necessary to own a gun to eat meat instead of relying on corporate capitalist consumerism to buy packages of dead animal flesh packaged after the mass industrialized slaughtering of livestock maybe then our society wouldn’t have devolved into fascism. But instead your parents and their parents were mostly all morons who didnt figure out the glowing talking box they spent the majority of their leisure time staring at was actually a weaponized propaganda dissemination tool being used to pacify the working class and render them helpless and dependent upon industrialized consumerist infrastructure to the point where so many people stupidly share your attitude that guns should be taken away because people cant be trusted with them. Well to that i say let the police and militaries of the world be the first to disarm themselves.

I mean you’re probably someone who isnt informed or intelligent enough to understand the government is lying about inflation and that all capitalist nations in decline have manipulated economic data to their advantage in an attempt to downplay the true extent of inflation and currency devaluation to prevent a revolution for as long as possible. Im pretty sure if more people knew the truth as i do they would not feel the way you do and instead be more than happy to get the pitchforks and torches(or guns in todays day and age) to demand whats rightfully ours from the billionaires who have looted the working class for 5+decades. Regardless of why it hasnt happened yet (societal manipulation through the normalized consumption of weaponized media dissemination) it will happen someday hopefully sooner than later and when that point comes you better hope the guns haven't been seized from the working class because the lives of your children or your children’s children will get much worse at exponentially increasing speed from here on out. But i guess so long ss youre pacified and comfortable what does it matter 🥴

Did drug prohibition work? No it didn't the black market will always exist and prohibition serves to increase demand and further the disparity between the wealthy and the poor.

rich people will always have guns. But sure take them away from poor people so you can sleep better in your delusional sense of security so when someone gets their hand on a gun youll be defenseless and even if the gun fell out of their hand in a struggle for your life you would still be defenseless because you're clueless and definitely have no idea how guns work.

Its funny people make this out to be a political policy issue that conservatives support when conservatives were the first ones to pass a bill restricting gun ownership. And then the people who want to take away guns consider themselves leftists what a joke, youre not leftists you’re neo liberals who have been deluded into believing the left would ever stand for the disarming of working class people.

Right now they are trying to ban “assault weapons” or anything with a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds in my state and luckily that it is so very unpopular even though my state is a blue no matter who very progressive state. Ever since the united healthcare ceo was shot i think many people with true leftist leaning sentiments see that taking away guns from the laborers is a stupid short sighted thing to do.

Cars kill more people than guns, are you going to support the banning of personal transportation too? Guns will always exist, you cant nerf the fucking world and advocating to do so id so childishly asinine it’s ridiculous beyond compare. I’m sure thst making it so that police and rich corporatists are the only ones with guns will make you feel a whole lot safer if you just stick your head in the sand in regards to extrajudicial murders of civilians by police. Lets just make them even more powerful!!!

I would rather bring back the days of the wild west where everyone had a revolver on their hip than go to a point where only the wealthy the police and other state sponsored actors sre permited to have weapons. “Any attempt to disarm the workers should be frustrated by force if necessary”

Whatever you want to believe meanwhile you all across the pond and down under still bow to monarchs and are taken to a court if you protest during coronation so keep believing that youll be just as free without the means to defend yourselves from tyrants when you’re already living in a full on class dictatorship and lacking any sense of true freedom to begin with.

Extremely strict regulations means the rich can have them freely and poors have to jump through multiple hurdles.

The working class should never be disarmed.

I have this theory that the world of politics is super dark. Like as dark as many people called “conspiracy theorists” by politicians as a means to silence and discredit them have claimed it to be. Like house of cards but exponentially or even logarithmically worse.

For instance i think the reason Bernie sanders acquiesced to the democrat party and the clinton and biden campaigns both times he ran for office is that he was probably threatened. And i think fetterman was probably threatened as well and back when he had a spine he probably resisted these threats and then he was poisoned in a way that induced a stroke and now the only thing he can do is to do as he is told or they will kill him. I mean this isnt a get out of jail free card for fetterman, fuck him if this extreme speculation on my end happens to be close to the mark at all. Anyone who is on the receiving end of any strong arming like that should definitely do everything they can to expose such behavior.

But remember madison cawthorne? Yeah the guy is a right wing dipshit but i 100% believe him when he said the senate is full of drug fueled orgies. And i think thats the least of it. These people are so drunk on power and consider themselves above the law and not just them but the wall street military and prison industry profiteers that are calling the shots they very likely legitimately believe they can get away with anything including murder, black mail etc. i mean epstien was definitely running a kompromat farm (and it wasnt the furst there was that daycare scandal in the 80’s thst was also part of the satanic panic hysteria but there was a guybinvolved who was tied to powerful banks and all the judges involved ended up getting promoted to throw the case) likely for the highest bidder but mossad was definitely one of the top clients. and even after the public made a stink about it the first time they thought a quick slap on the wrist and quick first class minimum security prison stint with 72 hours weekly work release that involved more teenage massages would be sufficient to show the public he was punished and we were over reacting. Then when it got serious the second time trump literally had him murdered and made it look like a sewer slide. Our representatives are pretty much living in a world thst operates like organized crime and very few have the spine to stand up against it but even those that do end up bending the knee afterwards and the only thing that explains why is there are some very dark things happening behind the curtain.

Ive been yelling fuck elon musk at people in tesla vehicles since way before it was cool!!

Mmore proof the neo liberal democratic party is a controlled opposition party who bows to the will of the same Wall Street military and prison industry profiteers that guide the policies of the right. Trump is going to be handed another 4 years after they repeal the 22nd amendment. this country is a fascist hellscape

The 2 biggest demographics of growing gun owners are women of color and trans people.

The idea that we should disarm the working class to further concentrate weapons in the hands of militarized forces who are known for abusing their power with impunity is just moronic.

I think the 50501 movement is more tepid centrist neo liberalism and thats the last thing we need here. We need real leftism. You dint fight the far rught with the right leaning center you fight it with leftism. And karl marx one of the fathers of modern leftist thinking said it best/“ any attempt to disarm the workers should be frustrated by force if necessary” the government acting like a nanny state and prohibiting things deemed dangerous by those at the top is never effective. Drugs and alcohol prohibition onky made things worse except for those profiting from exploiting prohibition

Im copying a response i left to another comment in this thread because it is relevant and people need to wake up and figure out what’s really going on instead of believing our government is still democratic when the writing has been on the wall for decades

We can agree that our entire political system has been corrupted by money? Right?

What makes people naively believe that our electoral processes have not been corrupted in the same exact way? Some delusional belief in American democratic exceptionalism?

In germany their highest court decided that electronic voting is unconstitutional because it is impossible to differentiate between fraudulent results and legitimate ones for laypeople/anyone who isnt a cybersecurity or IT expert.

Both parties are fascist albeit to differing degrees but both parties blatantly exhibit 13 of 14 traits of fascist regimes. The one trait they can claim plausible deniability in regards to is fraudulent elections. But if our corporate owned leaders have allowed our society to disintegrate to fascism 93% of the way then its pretty illogical to believe they would stop short and work diligently to prevent the last 7% from reaching that point.

There is the Princeton study done within the lasy 2 decades that concluded the amount of influence one has on our political system and any legislated policy is directly proportional to the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically near zero irrelevant amount of influence on any policy regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be. Since lewis f powell’s pro corporate supreme court decisions paved the way for citizens united and the erosion of our constitutional republic and its comprising democratic elements it has now become apparent for anyone paying attention that every aspect of our political system is for sale to the highest bidder and most likely the reality is that our presidential elections are rigged and have been since at least reagan. But even before then there was likely corruption involved since it is pretty much a historical fact that jfk won the presidency in no small part due to a backroom deal his father made with the mafia because of the connections he had made during his time establishing a bootleging empire during prohibition.

They are still leaps and bounds better than other manufacturers. 3 of the 4 major Japanese manufacturers put out quality. Nissan used to a while back but really lost their way. Despite the implied monopolization aspects I was excited when i heard honda was going to acquire nissan but then disappointed to hear that merger fell through.

I know the 14 traits of fascism well. And they are present in both parties to varying extents. Democrats still support the war on drugs 100% which is a defacto fascist attack on minorities and lower socio economic classes who are shipped out to corporate owned for profit correctional centers so tax dollars can be siphoned for their profits while also profiting off of legally permissible slavery. Democrats are fascists with a smiley face mask waving a pride flag and blm slogans. They are inherently anti worker and pro corporate power protection. Engaging in identity politics while chastising and belittling working class solidarity and class consciousness is a fascist plan of attack through division.
