Wake up babe, new form of harassment just dropped in Japan: スメハラ (sume-hara), or smell harassment, wherein you punish your co-workers with your body stench. Social media users are fretting about to address the issue, which they say reduces teamwork and…well, just stinks.

Too much criticism of 's ignoring basic facts about &

A reminder about why vehicles are so cheap - more than mere "innovation"

  • non-existent labor protections, & no real labor unions in Chinese factories = cheap workforce (unlike unionized Detroit)

  • minimal lacking sourcing standards for raw materials = widespread supply chain & abuses

  • massive subsidies & domestic market protectionism

@Alon @adnan Definitely, remember the tariffs against Japanese automakers in the 1980s?

But for all the issues US, , , etc, face w/ trade b/t each other, is completely different. At the very least, I'd appreciate if those criticizing 's tariff would at least recognize that.

Also lessons have been learned - American solar is growing. Europe, which failed to protect against cheap Chinese imports/dumping (or ) saw its solar industry decimated.
