get parents to actually be parents and teach their kids about the pitfalls of social media

Are we going to completely ignore the absolute insanity of arresting someone for cheating on an exam.

You’d get killed on the interstate on one of those,

Speed restrictions.

Kei trucks were designed for use in dense Japanese cities, which is why they also work in European cities. They are nimble but have a low top speed. You’re not going 70 mph around a street corner for instance.

It would work in places like NYC for the same reasons, but remember that most of the USA is suburban or rural. You need vehicles that are capable of going fast if you’re going to get on a highway.

A possible workaround is to have a separate class for these, like mopeds or scooters, which are road legal but are not highway legal.

It’s not whataboutism, it’s hypocrisy.

Surveillance of your citizens isn’t a CCP only thing.

China is the largest producer of EVs in the world by far (the next country on the list, Germany doesn’t even come close). In fact, China produces more EVs than the next 4 top producers combined.

The US is running scared because there is absolutely no way they can compete, unless they severely handicap the competition.

So, instead of free competition in Western markets, we have coddled American companies that are “too big to fail” that will continue producing obsolete technologies. If we haven’t already, we’ll start to see Boeing’s product issues in American cars.
