haha mods here are biased

LOL US cope
Are the slaves in the room with us now?
The only country with massive slave labor is the US with its prison system.
Or their good friends the headchopper gulf states

Well don’t forget that Walmart itself is literally government subsidized when the people employed there still need food stamps or other welfare programs.

....we removed both parties comments because you both were going

you: no your a troll

them: no your a troll

you: no your a troll

them: no your a troll

Not because we took sides.

Calling eachother trolls is not being excellent to eachother (rule 3), if you want to talk about disagreements do it like adults.

There is plenty of modern slave labor and exploitation going around. No major manufacutring nation is innocent.

Did you forget all the bailouts US car manufacturers received?

Well, the US did have the slate truck coming up for really barebones options... But tariffs ruined that for now. Some of the lower budget Korean EVs have limited/optional connectivity.

What other "major manufacutring nation" oficially has this slave system?

Why are Japanese and Korean cars also better/cheaper than American cars then?

They're not cheaper than American cars. Go price some out.

The US doesn't massively subsidise auto-makers?

China subsidizes Chinese companies. The US gives subsidies to manufacturers from all over the world via tax credits to buyers.

At the end of the day, none of that’s legitimate, it’s just an excuse to buy the car you prefer.

Since when is buying what we prefer considered negative? Calling it an excuse seems short-sighted.

There is a limit to that effect, though. And most observers agree that the state is subsidizing heavily.

By "legacy manufacturers" you mean every major auto manufacturer in the world that isn't based in China?Nobody else is selling new cars for as little as $4k because other countries aren't using slave labor in mines and factory floors. It's impossible to compete against that unless you engage in it yourself.

So even Canada has lower labor costs because of universal healthcare.

Decoupling the market was them admitting their stuff is not as popular to the global market

But the Chinese government could be spying on you if you bought a Chinese manufactured car!!

P.S. for bonus points, does anyone know where most GM automobiles are currently being manufactured?

The Chinese too know how to make unnecessary large cars, unfortunately.

I didn't say it's the same system, there are several different ways and degrees in which modern slavery exists. Trapping and exploiting migrant/seasonal workers is another popular one. Modern slavery exists from the US to Brazil, China/central Asia, Russia, Türkiye, even in parts of western Europe you'll find it in smaller or less obvious amounts.

Global Slavery Index | Walk Free

The 2023 Global Slavery Index provides an assessment of 160 countries, including an estimation of the number of people living in modern slavery, the extent to which a country’s population is vulnerable to modern slavery, and an examination of how well governments are responding to modern slavery.

Just a moment...

Yup and paying insane amounts of money to get in, too.

But it would also help american people. Which is more important, I wonder.

Sadly, ever since “too big to fail”, any large corporation is now nearly indistinguishable from the federal government. Just another example of socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest of us.
