  • It’s an interesting problem.

    Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can’t afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

    Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?

    Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, without pushing the change to EVs, and just not really manage this situation well?

    My money is on aspirations for option 2, but in reality option 3.




  • My comment specifically states that killing him wasn’t the optimal solution here, so I can’t see how that’s your intrepretation of it.

    That’s my interpretation of it because you’re basically saying that because he was breaking the law (maybe you’re saying that it’s because he was breaking specific laws), it’s justified that he was shot and killed.

    Whether you want to pussyfoot around the distinction between him deserving it and it being justified is beside the point from my perspective because I don’t believe he did deserve it or that it was justified.

    Seems like we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

    I’m not sure where my head was when I commented this.

    Just getting at the idea that they’re basically worshipping the thing.

    We as people just really like worshipping stuff.

    Maybe worship is the wrong word due to its religious connotations, but it’s effectively the same thing to hold these kind of celebrations for items that we revere.

    Anyway, I’m not sure why the above was relevant:)
