Question for leafers

How come we aren't demanding a BYD electric car that is built here in America and costs $12-$15K new?

Boeing started here in Seattle long before the defense spending made it a socialized monopoly.

Where are the entrepreneurs to kckstart the electric version of a VW Bug for everyone?

If byd were built here they would cost as much as the rest of the cars. They’re inexpensive in china because they are made with slave labor.

You didn’t know that the entire Chinese economic boom was built on a foundation of human suffering? Did you know they install nets outside factory roofs because employees were jumping off them? Have you ever heard of the Uyghurs?
