Fighting EVs and EV competition any way they can

The massive new Hyundai EV plant outside of Savannah, Georgia, was raided by ICE on Thursday. Federal agents took hundreds of people into custody at the site, including executives from LG Energy Solution, Hyundai’s battery partner and co-owner of the plant.

As the largest economic project in Georgia, the plant, including Hyundai’s suppliers, is expected to create nearly 40,000 jobs while drawing $12.6 billion into the state.

I am really not happy with those who have money just forgetting about those of us who are doing are part to stick it to the US.

Do they really think demand for flights to the US to pick up, drastically, after Trump crocks or the next election?

A rambling senator explains how eating radioactive shrimp will turn you into the xenomorph from Alien and other ludicrous claims about "foreign" shrimp.

Seriously, stop doing business with Americans. They're idiots.

NewFoundland:

  1. Greenland Connect: from Newfoundland to Greenland. Tusass A/S (Danish-owned) 2009.
  2. St. Pierre and Miquelon Cable: from Newfoundland to St. Pierre and Miquelon France. French Authority of St. Pierre and Miquelon (French-owned) 2018.

Nova Scotia:

  1. EXA Express: from Nova Scotia to UK. EXA Infrastructure (British-owned) 2015.

BC:

  1. Topaz: from BC to Japan. Google (American-owned) 2023.

I propose that the next projects should go straight to the Philippines, Taiwan, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, Norway and Spain. We should not involve anymore american companies in our crucial infrastructure projects.

"The ongoing shuffle of the global trade markets has disproportionately impacted farmers, and that’s why the organization is seeking measures that will funnel tariff dollars into a farmer supplemental program, Grobmyer said. Even if trade negotiations are finalized soon, it won’t be in time to help farmers with this year’s crop, Mencer added."

They also don't quite seem to understand why Brazil is buying equipment and products from China rather than the US:

"About 70% of commodities grown in Brazil go to China. This allows the Chinese to coerce farmers there to buy equipment and products from Chinese vendors, Grobmyer added. "

The trouble is, people still don’t talk about it the way they talk about Hungary, not inside the US and not outside it. That’s partly the It Can’t Happen Here mindset, partly a reluctance to accept a reality that would require, of foreign governments especially, a rethink of almost everything. If the US is on its way to autocracy, in a condition scholars might call “unconsolidated authoritarianism”, then that changes Britain’s entire strategic position, its place in the world, which for 80 years has been predicated on the notion of a west led by a stable, democratic US. The same goes for the EU. Far easier to carry on, either pretending that the transformation of the US is not, in fact, as severe as it is, or that normal service will resume shortly. But the world’s leaders, like US citizens, cannot ignore the evidence indefinitely. To adapt the title of that long-ago novel, it can happen here – and it is.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
