So, pay more it is.

Cannabis doesn’t fit here, since it’s not s hard drug and has also beneficial effects when taken correctly.

This has been like forever. 😵‍💫

Lol, yes, also destroying industry and makes everything pricier to lower sales.

No, no. Finally build that new roadster and trucks! :)

So much this ^^^. If Ukraine is blackmailed to give land away, then we are all screwed because even this leftover of international law crumbles. The Orange doesn’t care at all, all he sees are possible deals with Putin and profits by Ukraine extortion.

That’s certainly a fair point. However, being 100% dependent on an external monopoly is strategically and mid-term problematic. Once they acquire a monopoly status, they can raise prices, stop innovating and have a leverage on you - classic monopoly cons.

But it is really a wise decision not taking countermeasures and sweet-talking to a bully once he slaps you? What do you think this attitude signals to the said bully?

That’s true, they are subsidizing your country. The problem at hand is that they are also destroying your industry, which is very bad in long term. When others industry is gone , they have a monopoly.The same supplies to car industry, specifically EVs.

AFAIK not. They “wanted” to, but then paused them all together, while orange retained initial ones. 🤷‍♂️

For starters implement reciprocal tariffs. Which we only virtually did only to pause them to not anger the orange. Next, don’t visit the orange nor start talking with him. It’s like China says, he should start conversation.

I wish EU was capable of similar attitude as China instead of digging our hole by trying to appease the Orange liar in chief no matter what.

There are no not-evil countries. That said, China is lesser evil, way nowmore stable and predictable of the two if handled properly.

Why not not all of them: terrorism, malice and incompetence.

It still could be a mistake in the long term, though. Imagine the wise US administration slapping 1,220,332% tariffs on Taiwan? Or China wreaking havoc there. I still think Intel could fare well with better leadership handling their fabs.

AMD did that, but Global Foundry doesn’t do that well, at least compared to TSMC. Also Intel was going strong with their fabs until AMD started building better chips architecture wise. I’m just saying that splitting might not work.

Elon did to Tesla what Hitler did to svastika.

I bet on Trump to ruin world industry and thus eliminate a lot of co2 emissions.
