I completely agree, and frankly I think most working class people would welcome the access regardless of where the manufacturing is being done, because the need of transportation isn’t going away. In an actual free market Chinese EVs simply would be adopted due to the compltete lack of a comparable product with reasonable pricing, or alternatives, which is part of why you’re seeing the market shifting in Canada, not that it’s an actual free market either but it is being helped by a response to aggressive US imperialism. The US market is artifically ‘free’ and constantly manipulated, so I’d think it’s more likely administrators will cling to the albatross of legacy manufacturing and prop it up to the detriment of the economy and general quality of life for the working class to appease fossil fuel interests. This is what extreme isolationism gets you I guess; The big auto manufacturers bought in to the regime selling tarrifs as some kind of cheat code to their industry dominance extending eternally, which to me suggests their leaders and inverstors are desperate or delusional. I’d like to see more of a move toward mass transport systems investment and infrastructure personally, but the required shift in ideology in the political and governing space is definitely not there right now. Change can come fast, but hope is also scarce in this current staus quo.

Cold Take:
Good. They don’t deserve to survive. Demand will ensure industry bounceback and stability long term, at least nationally as new buniesses fill the void and labour recovers. Mind you, the US industry will probably never compete globally again having collectively chosen to just lag behind technological trends toward efficiency and sustainability to appease fossil fuel entanglements. These companies made the decisions they did not to adapt at a critical turning point and this is the result, and their current rhetoric is an artifact of decades of coddling by a lopsided nanny state spoon-feeding subsidies and bailouts to shitty investors and executives with garbage management practices at the expense of public services and infrastructure. There is no too big to fail, that’s capitalist coping propped up by a corrupt and captured economy that THEY lobbied for.

In short, get fucked, and take your CEOs with you.

Cool, but you see how that’s still a deep condemnation of tRump and the Whitehouse admin for letting that happen right? There’s no letting either of those greedy soulless criminals throw the other under the bus, they’re both getting run over or justice isn’t real. This also goes for politicans who have enabled this regime and the corrupt memebers of the US supreme court who made this all possible. This IS a rico case whether people want to admit it or not, the alternative is pretending like it was all this one guy and letting the Republicans slink into the shadows to play nice and bide their time for another 40 years. Prosecution and jail terms are the ONLY way to even pretend to still mantain a representative democracy and justice system.

Let them go, with this leadership having them part of NATO when they ideologically oppse it only gives them power to damage it from within, it is clear tRump is more aligned with Putin, and that makes him an implicit threat to stability. Eject US based on their leadership under existing rules, or create new ones to do it, and tell them they can reapply when they get someone rational in power.

Yeah, furiously shitting their pants and screeching as they destroy the country for optics and glazing pedoligarchs. Media outlets should stop treating these ideological terrorists like a real party, but they’re owned by the same oligarchy. Oh well.

Do the shareholders know? I mean actually though, are they watching? How do these CEOs not get removed for annihilating company futures based on speculative bubbles? Microslop is having the exact same issue with their guy… Can they just not see it somehow? How are they being bamboozled?

I agree with you, I fully support whatever mechanism that can handle and managed to provided the best path to success and exact the most pain and punishment to these companies in the name of restoring the most victims of their ongoing crimes. I assumed that was class action but I’m all for a million separate trials too, however that happens.

CLASS ACTION NOW! Gut these psychotic corporations that are experimenting on our fucking minds in real time, and nationalize their digital infrastructure so it can be run for the betterment of society rather than the profits of shareholders. Make us all the stakeholders in what can be a transformational tool for social good if freed from endless technoligarchical greed.

Exactly as intended by the administration. All governmental bodies will be made subservient to the great leader through installing purposely incompetent and bad faith loyalists and sycophants. This should not be a surprise at this point, it should fill us all with righteous anger.

Huh, I wonder why they would do that… So Weird ™. Surely unrelated to the tRump republicans axeing PBS funding in this current term…

This framing is journalistic malpractice. Using the term blamed implies room for doubt where there is none, it’s a clear and provable driver of this issue. We desperately need public funding for journalism, as long as outlets rely on private investment to function there will always be this kind of manipulation and bias infused into news media.

Please inform him that I have no interest in what he thinks, and also remind him that he belongs in jail. Thank you.

Thankfully, it’s not, not in any meaningful way. The source is a big indicator of how much you should trust the assertion being made.

Actual broad metrics show that gaming in general is currently the most profitable entertainment industry, and it’s not even close. So that’s good, MS is just assmad that they’ve very efficiently begun removing themselves from that industry at this point.

More wishcasting gigacope from window’s personal diary. The windows gaming era may be over, that’s the kernel of truth.

AI is snake oil and the ones ruining the jobs are the corporations and billionaires. AI will be a net positive for society once we make it a public project and reclaim the stolen wealth of the oligarchy, who use it to maximize their extraction and destroy society. Cool article, or whatever.

donald tRump is a barely closeted gay man, and you fantasize about him jacking your half hard shmuck in his face to the beat of YMCA. The men you idolize from harder times would kill your soft doughy ass on sight for your boots, and you would probably thank them for it. Go pick turnips and feed yourself to the hogs.

Your experience huh?

Every single ‘manfluencer’ is a closeted loser who specifically wants to take your money and cause you to be alone and miserable like they are. Every time. They should be openly ridiculed and loathed, and I hope this trend just elicits legal action and ends quickly, and that minimal harm is done to the victims in the process.

Yeah totally, the best advice is always wait till things get worse, right?

I think windows central needs to take a look outside and see where the winds are blowing, the only thing this will shake up is the stability of windows 11 market share. People are already switching away from this toxic dysfunctional OS at a growing rate, either to an older version that still works or to Linux or some other competitor, this is going to accelerate the trend, and for no reason but hubris.
