“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.
Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.
If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.
Ooh boy. Let’s look at notions like “historical bigotry”. Perhaps studying the “Made in Japan” phenomenon in the transition from the 1970s to the 1980s could be instructive. Or the similar transitions for Taiwan and Korea, for that matter.
Or if you want to really do a dumpster dive into history, go look up how Germany relates to the whole identifying nation of origin of goods thing and how that backfired badly. (Hint: “Made in Germany” was the “Made in China” of its day.)
