Because it’s available to anyone. Not just Chinese owned companies and every other auto maker has similar taxes.

So build them here, like every other foreign auto maker.

They accomplish two completely different effects by two completely different mechanisms. The former being available to every manufacturer.

That’s not a competitive subsidy though. Anyone can and don take advantage of those emissions. The US does not have access to China subsidized materials or labor to compete in that market.

BYD could build here and take advantage of that.

When was the second bailout? Or the first if you’re referring to something older.

A one time loan which made money is hardly a subsidy by comparison to China right now. That’s an absurd comparison. Apples to oranges. Hell apples to baseballs.

Compared globally? Yeah mostly so.

What subsides do US cars get that other countries don’t have similar programs?

It’s not a free market.

BYD is heavily subsidized .

It does that plus map areas you are missing. Probably overkill for most but could be a good teaching tool as you suggest.

It was sarcasm. They were making fun of the comments.

Sometimes, you can no longer return a product because its X days out of policy.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I bought this $50 brush than didn’t use it for 6 months 👌👍

I weep for all 5 of you that happened to.

No it hasn’t. Nerds spend all day looking for edge cases with mostly unsuccessful dumb ideas then screech while having the option of 40 different branded regular brushes in every grocery store.

It’s angry permanently online rage fiends.

👌👍

Most people don’t drive speed limits. They drive the speed the road is designed for. When you put arbitrarily slow limits on highways most speed. Those that don’t then create dangerous speed deltas and road rage. These well known behaviors are already included and designed into the stats and engineering.

Typically highways will have higher percentage of fatal incidents but a much much much lower frequency and lower absolute number per mile. Well designed variable rate highways, even with a higher % fatality rate overall are safer.

NHTSA Road Type Crash Rate (per 100M VMT) Fatality Rate (per 100M VMT)

Urban Local Roads ~350–500+ ~1.5–2.0 Rural Local Roads ~200–300 ~2.0–3.0 Urban Collectors ~200–300 ~1.0–1.5 Urban Arterials ~100–200 ~1.2–1.8 Rural Arterials ~80–150 ~1.5–2.5 Urban Freeways/Interstates ~60–100 ~0.5–1.0 Rural Interstates ~40–80 ~0.6–1.3

By pushing traffic more quickly and reducing congestion you’ll lower the totals while increasing the frequency that an individual is killed.

The speed must be designed into the infrastructure and if you’re designing roads where you commonly have a 20 mph delta it’s likely a shitty designed urban artery. And unless you’re going to invest in trains and start kicking people off the road or put them into debt for speeding, people are going to do what makes sense at the time.

I’ve seen several successes and I wouldn’t believe every story you hear in these forums. The data shows it’s relatively safe with minimal serious secondary effects. That doesn’t mean nothing to manage at all. Just like statins for cholesterol.

Ozempic and variants are also considered short term. They essentially short circuit the desire for vices, but are only effective for about a year. You either relearn your habits or you’ll eventually revert. If you are in ozempic for 2 years on weight loss you’ve likely ignored your doctor.

Get ratioed and take a stats class.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 bravo. Further showing the lack of understanding. Just fantastic.

I love renting games. Worked for me at block buster 🤷‍♂️.

Oh hey, some guy mouthing off who doesn’t understand how relative and absolute risk work who just went off to have Google to search for the phrase that validates their assumptions. Rare sighting indeed.

We’re talking about speeding and you post some study about absolute speed? GTFO🤣.

You want to talk about absolute risk? What’s the increase in risk when you set an arbitrarily low speed limit on a highway clearly able to handle high speeds? When you look at the reality of induced road rage and creating large deltas in speed?

You’d be that politician giving yourself a pat on the back while ignoring the actual effects of your policy.
