Cars aren't safe anymore by standards and tests, they are now safe by declaration.
And Us American declarations are the best declarations in the whole world.
Therefore all the world is going to trust in Us American cars, finally.
And they are so much safer now than European cars, because Us American declarations are so superior to European safety standards and tests.
Yeeeeuuup.
This is certainly going to improve the prospects of assembled in US cars getting exported...
Oh well, fuck it all I guess, burn it all down.
I'm sure Elon will try suing the EU to force them to buy his cars next.
That is how the free market works: When people don't wanna buy what you are selling, threaten to sue them for not volunarily agreeing to purchase your service or product.
It’s not like the US auto industry is a key sector of the economy or anything.
That’s why it was so silly that Obama bailed them out, right? They’re only like 5% of the GDP. 5% is a little baby number.
God this country is power sliding into an another Great Recession. What do these idiots think they’re gonna do when a good chunk of the population loses their homes and comfortable lives because of them? A population with nothing to lose, lots of guns floating around, and no prospects for improvement under the current administration should be a very scary future for any leader.
I’d ask if they remember the French Revolution, but these fuckers seem to want to go back to a time before that.
They buy your houses from you and rent them right back to you. That's what Nestle has done with the poor farmers and all their land (not just their houses) in Romania.
The world is beyond capitalism. It is a new feudalism now. Yanis Varoufakis was right.
They employ even more police (and more guns for them), so that you don't get no funny ideas.
But if you get funny ideas anyway, they have surveillance of all phones and internet. You have read your George Orwell, haven't you?
