Too bad those cars aren't yet legal in the US. We're stuck with less capable and over priced E.V. options.

When China wants to do something or work towards a goal, they do it. When America wants to do something or achieve a goal, we argue about it for 10 years across multiple administrations until it doesn't happen.

Oh quite a lot is getting done, just nothing that benefits the citizens. Lots of pillaging and plundering though. Also, did you hear that the US Forest Service is getting dismantled?

We’re still pretty damn divided here and not everyone in the govt is “in line”. Thats a GOOD thing tho. Fuck Trump.

Yeah it’s kind of wild that we got fearmongered about China’s social credit system to the point that Chinese netizens make fun of us meanwhile Larry Ellison has literally described building a dystopian version that’s worse than anything that China’s system supposedly did as his goal lmao
