In terms of healthcare, factor in Private Equity buying up hospitals and reducing care and staff. It’s already bad. Gonna get worse.

Trump is doing what he was elected to do and, that is to make the rich get richer. If your not buying stock's or playing the bitcoin market you want be making any money but, as you can tell on T.V. now all the commercials are there for the billionaires an millionaires to watch so they can make up their mind on Vance for four more years of kicking the middle class in the teeth.

I would welcome the chance to buy or at least test drive the Chinese electric car. It seems like it is better than a Tesla.

Do you remember when we called all Japanese imports cheap copies of US products? Or is it just me thats that old?

It's not just you! Yes, then the Japanese cars became the gold standard. Chinese products improving by a ton, too. They make the best (affordable) EVs in the world, although we can't try them out since they're not allowed here. And China will dominate battery technology for decades. 😡We are doing a lot of damage to ourselves

I live in South Africa now and they are quickly overtaking the market because of the significant price differences. It will be a while for South Africans to adopt EVs though due to the instability of the electric grid and production. I will probably not be an early adopter of the Chinese vehicles. I will wait until there’s certainty in the quality and reliability. They are impressive looking though.

A CT Yankee in Jburg! Nice. Well when you try one, report back. The big automakers have great EVs, they're just incredibly expensive and not profitable for them. Blown opportunity.
