The Biden administration is poised to unveil new tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, creating a potential roadblock for Chinese automakers wanting to expand into the American market.
No ethical way to spend in a capitalist society. It kind of is what it is, cause I gotta eat. Also certified “you criticize capitalism yet you live in it moment” to you sir.
Where I was going was: effects can be different even if all choices and results are unethical. If one cares about the possible impacts of ones actions, consideration beyond “well it’s all unethical, so whatever” could be warranted.
My guess that the prior comment either reflects an assumption that non western capitalists are somehow better than western capitalists or that China’s capitalists aren’t a capitalist class.
Ah yes, great way to fuck over our capitalists, by supporting their worse capitalists instead
American companies would reduce markup if they had competition. These tariffs just mean we all lose.
Maybe I want “our capitalists” to change.
I mean if we’re being capitalists, that’s how the free market works, right?
US auto makers were like “we love the free market”, then people bought cheaper cars from China and they said “wait, not that free!”
