$5 a day in 1908 is equivalent to $180 today. What a stupid fricking comment.

People in China aren't making $22.50 an hour.

It’s weird that you don’t seem to recognize China is cheaper in part because they use and are building hundreds of of new coal plants with completely outdated or almost non-existent emission controls.


Good for them.

The "unlevel playing field" is due to US overregulation, not Chinese shenanigans in this instance.

So tariffs and war on Iran makes America great? Supporting Israel makes America great?

Where in this thread did you see anyone say China is ethically and morally superior? Seems like you’re projecting.

They don’t need to?

My meal was $2 and taxi was $6.

A bottle of coke was 60 cents and average apartment is $300 a month

People champion Ford’s revolutionary $5/day wage, yet nobody ever mentions he never increased it.

Their car companies are heavily subsidized by the dumbass Germans by having to buy carbon credits from the Chinese EV manufacturers. Audi, VW, BMW, and Mercedes literally went to China, showed them how to make cars and are now paying them to destroy their own industry. Green new scam.

Also why do we care if their govt subsidizes if we aren’t the ones taxed



What do you do in ten years when all domestic automakers are bankrupt and the Chinese remove subsidies?

I may get downvoted but I’ve been in one and it was nice. You can hate them for whatever reason but they sold the most EV world wide expanding their market in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Those numbers are only going up from here and that’s the reality whether you like them or not.

If you were in China recently, you would know exactly how to prove it.

You were not there, so this is one of your retard threads to make people here hate you more. Weird that is what floats your boat.
