That video made by Tesla about a Tesla factory didn't really show much about the conditions at all. It showed promotional material for the company that made it. I hope that their working conditions are great and they might well be. But that video isn't really proof of anything.
To me it's pretty clear the connection he's making. in those comments. China rocks, their energy is great, their workers are hard-working, unlike the workers in America who are complacent and entitled. Those are pretty disgusting comments considering the inhumane human and worker rights in China, and I honestly believe he is implying that it sure would be great if American workers where more "motivated" to work like Chinas work force.
We were already changing our relationship with China prior to 2016. I'm not sure how BIden is any less cozy than Trump. The only thing that Trump did was talk tough, killed the global trade through a global trade war, and mothballed the US oil and gas sector.
Pretend to be confused, everybody can see what you implied with that comment. Stay classy and honest brother.
Certainly a lot of work at Tesla is. But we don't know about the other conditions of the workers, their hours, pay, sick-leave, etc.
Just like auto factors in the US...... ... but US taxpayer money wasn't enough for your boy Elon, he needs those Yuans.
You didn't read the full article but you know Ford has a factory in China as well. So they can sell Fords to the chinese market. Tesla is doing the same. But you know , I don't expect business majors in this part of the forum.
How much US government money went into making Tesla? The value of Tesla is the technology..... ....we are in tech race with China, a country who has been ripping us off.... Why are you so pro China? Can you promise me China won't steal Tesla's technology?
I think his positions on trade need to align more to the more progressive Democratic party of 2020 more than he needs to worry about cozy China relationships of the past. I think that's the most important thing to Democrats I know. In the past I think both parties have been wrong about China and trade even though I understand why initially the Clinton admin enacted much of the trade policy that Bush and Reagan crafted beforehand. Trump ran against both parties in 2016 on trade & China and that's a big part of why he won the midwest states. I think the Obama/Biden admin really didn't see the animus Americans have on trade in their 8 years, but Trump's winning of Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016 sure did open the eyes of pretty much all Democrats... Biden too I'm assuming. And if Biden doesn't know that, there are very smart people around him that I'm sure are on top of the issue. I saw Biden's "buy American" speech which was quite good, and more focus on trade certainly will help him in October/November.
This is a pretty serious accusation. I have no idea why in an Elon Musk thread I would make that assertion. I'd like to have some proof please. @justtxyank @Clutch
By complacency and entitlement he means regulating business and labor laws of course. He's a capitalist pig of the worst sort, takes advantage of $5 billion in corporate welfare on the front end and then trash talks on the back end.
Obama's China containment involved multiple elements. 1) Trade. TPP to create an alternative market to China for all Pacific Rim countries. 2) Military repositioning. "Pivot to Asia". Not only the redeployment of forces from Europe to the Pacific. But also of higher end assets like F-22s. 3) Cultivating new partners. Notably, India and Vietnam. Add Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, it starts to look like encirclement, or at least strict containment to the East China and South China Seas. And that's just the overt stuff. It's unfortunate that all this was both hard to explain and for the American public to understand. The Dems keep losing the narrative battle. Trump concisely made the campaign about, "those people over there are taking advantage of you and those people over let it happen".
Sorry, Tinman, but you aren't nearly as slick or cute as you think you are. Please my friend, stay classy.
Lol I'm not pro China. if I say that Chinese workers are dedicated, that's a compliment to their workers. If you say you like American farmers does that mean you are fan of the government?
No, you just carry water for someone who took money from and slanders your own government. What's worse, you are too naive to see China salivating because you are so star crossed...
But you appear to be basing their dedication on the fact that workers pick up broken glass with their bare hands as if that is a good thing.
@Os Trigonum @RayRay10 @Ziggy @Reeko @rocketsjudoka @Space Ghost I think there's an issue with some posters who don't get the ONE DIRECTION ANALOGY this means you only believe that people should think ONE WAY and that it's either THIS DIRECTION OR THE OTHER DIRECTION This doesn't imply race even though Zayn is the only middle eastern member of the group
