And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

  • Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!

RANT: Yet another reason why I'll never buy a new car in my life

  • I had a rental (#Peugeot2008) which is one of these garbage "#Crossover" / #SuperUselessVehicles that are PHAT outside but crammed af inside due to a needlessly W I D E center console and barely adjustable driver seat and steering wheel.

  • This car is basically impossible to reverse without staring at it's backup camera as it has a giant-ass deadzone behind it.

  • It's shitty front allows children to hide even easier than the rear and makes parking even more stressful

But what made my blood boil is the obnoxiousness with which it's shitty tablet decided to randomly (!), whilst driving >50km/h to just pop up a demand for #tracking bs, offering only "allow" and "later" instead of a "no thanks" / "don't ask me again" option.

  • Shit like this can literally kill people as they fiddle around trying to dismiss it.

  • I had it pop up 2x (!) within 5 mins (!!) on the same (!!!) trip [not plulling ignition key!] And at tue 2nd time decided to pull over to document this shit.

This kind of #Enshittification in the form of a #Car comitting an "Exhaustion Attack" against it's own driver needs to be outlawed, not mandated!

@TheWarOnCars personally, I think the #SuperUselessVehicles are just egoistic abominations with inexcuseably shitty performance onroad and offroad as well as absurdly bad efficiency.

I mean who buys these abominations?

If people needed a 4x4 car, they'd choose a Suzuki Jimny. If they need a Pickup, they'd choose a Isuzu D-Max, if they needed a lot of 4x4 Performance, they'd choose a Jeep.

Who besides rich boomers buys these shitty ego compensators like VW Tiguan?
