    The worst part is once the batteries run out you have to replace the car. Who can afford a new car every 650 miles!?

      In unrelated news, Chinese social credit is a deeply misunderstood topic in western culture. It apparently does more to prevent corruption than it does to aid corruption, according to one independent reporter found via my YouTube algorithm. youtu.be/iXrx9ryVaes

      I’m starting the get the feeling that feeling strongly about almost anything is a pretty strong indicator that I’ve been propagandized. How do we live like this?

        But but but…China bad!! Obviously China isn’t perfect but they definitely get some things right.

        And yes, propaganda works on everybody

        Interesting. I read an article about it.

        I mean to me this reeks of some pretty extreme fascism. Without a genuine mechanism to challenge the system and considering how the government can and will place you on a black list for not towing the party line it is about as dystopian as you get.

        Fascism up in your daily business claiming to produce better metrics according to them is not something I could agree to.

        I already hate the existing US credit scoring system and the numerous catch 22’s it has. While bringing this system under the regulation of government and allowing redressability sounds promising, I don’t think this is really what China is providing.

    I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
