True, even Milton Friedman (barf) said we should be thankful if someone wants to subsides our lives. Besides these market extremists say all government intervention is bound to fail, so they should have nothing to fear letting the BYDs in. The socialist subsidy of BYD will collapse and we don't want the government distorting our market either.
This isn't really my personal take, but i like using their own logic to reach a conclusion they will hate.
Its largely american cope that they are not that good at manufacturing anymore. Chinese factories build things to spec, and the customer asks for cheap, so they get cheap.
but to everyone saying “we should just compete”, do you realize the realities that Chinese workers experience? Have you heard of 996?
I get what you are saying, but sometimes I think we should in a way, or at least we should get republicans exposed to it, so they can live their hogwash ideas of free markets.
Just in case anyone is also curious the chainsaw is also an inspiration from the anarcho capitalist president of Argentina. DOGE is rooted in those libertarian/ancap views. They expect the market to somehow decided to fix its failures.
