The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...
I’m onboard with this statement purely because nobody is posting asking for advice while sitting around just fucking oblivious to the idea that doctors exist.
That doesn’t mean this is the right course of action. A doctor will actually examine you rather than just listening to your explanation of things that may or may not be relevant. The point isn’t that people don’t know doctors exist, it’s that they want to find the cheapest route rather than spend the money to see one in addition to the fact that you have zero idea who the person you’re talking to is.
Asking for medical advice online is no different than asking a magic 8-ball.
Single door is nicer bc you only have to open one door, the french doors you often have to open both bc they are too small to get to things unless it’s in the door compartment. Opening or closing both doors with things in your hands gets old, and if you want to get into the meat drawer you have to open both sides fully then...

This isn’t just protecting US manufacturers its protecting all manufacturers that sell vehicles in the US. China selling cars at 1/3 the price of any other available on the market is just going to reduce competition and put a bunch of people out of work for no real benefit. If you need a cheap car buy a used one like everyone else.
Is there a benefit to buying a brand new car just because it’s an EV and it was cheap? This is like saying it’s better for the environment to get a new phone because it gets better battery life even though your old one is working fine.
One way to curb emissions is to not waste things that were already built by tossing them in the trash and buying a newer version.
Where in the world can you buy a $12k EV that doesn’t come from China?
We have subsidized them here with the $7500 credit and loans/grants to retool factories but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what China is doing.
Ford just released their financials for last quarter and it showed them losing $130k for every EV they sold: caranddriver.com/…/ford-ev-revenue-losses-q1-2024… so clearly they aren’t subsidized so much that they can sell them for pennies on the dollar like BYD.
How does everyone buying a brand new car result in decarbonization versus keeping the ones we’ve already expended carbon building and upgrading them when they break? There are 283 million cars on the road in the US and replacing them all is going to generate a metric fuckton of carbon.
A $12k car selling for $24k after the tariff is still highly competitive in the US market. It doesn’t seem so bad to me.
What has been done here, is pure protectionism for the US companies that didn’t invest enough in EV.
The only US companies are Tesla, Ford and GM. China selling these cars well below cost here is going to harm every manufacturer that sells in the US. This isn’t about protecting US companies like everyone (who sounds like they’re living in 1970) likes to claim.
Yeah China has been doing the same with solar panels. Funny you bring it up since my wife used to work at a facility that made the ingots and sliced them up. They shut down several years ago since it was impossible to compete with Chinese prices. Hurray for cheap prices right?
Cool you can act dramatically. Now that the theatrical portion is out of the way, maybe you can defend your position by responding to the topic of my comments.
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
“I’d never even heard of this 2 weeks ago, but after watching a single 90-second segment on Fox News, it’s all I can talk about and clearly the reason why the country is failing!”
I actually own one of these but never use it because extension cords are such a pain in the ass especially if you need to stretch it all throughout the yard. I really only bought it because my dryer duct was clogged with 20 years worth of lint and this blew it right out.
I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'
