Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

If you respond then I’m not talking to myself.
Never addressed at all, you pivoted to the oil industry.
Directly answering a question is not pivoting. You asked if I knew about producing below cost. Yes, there are lots of examples of subsidies in the oil industry.
You didn’t address the subsidies from China or the unfair trade practices.
I did. Twice.
America will not subsidize to that level
Course it could. Have you seen the defense budget? Take some of that.
no amount of innovation is going to combat subsidization. Are you seriously arguing that “investment to lower cost” will reduce the cost by 85-90%?
I said the solution was subsidies and innovation.
I don’t think that collecting anonymized usage data,
Are you certain it is anonymous?
is the same as unlimited spying going back to an authoritarian government.
America is already an authoritarian government. washingtonpost.com/…/what-we-know-about-car-hacki…

Honestly, everything you have said is dishonest and/or disingenuous. The idea that the price of the vehicle is going to be reduced by 90% as a result of subsidies and innovation is both stupid and dishonest. You should also look up the definition of authoritarian.

Nope. Dishonest would be failing to recognise the legacy auto industry’s failure to invest sufficiently in EVs and related infrastructure. A disingenuous person would try to argue purely with xenophobia.
Isn’t that exactly what you are claiming the Chinese are doing?
You should take a good look at American justice and law enforcement.
