      I too had a sensible chuckle. I do feel for the employees who just want to produce cars and innovate. Sure sucks being drowned by your own mother.

          The new model Y is out I believe. Britain seemed slow to catch up, urm catching up to fewer sales that is. Apparently they have some very decent incentives over there driving sales. However I think they are now in line with some other countries regarding sales, and that is even with the new model. ( From something I read online )

      Didn’t even realize until you pointed it out. I did feel a bit happy while reading, so that checks out.

      Then, I thought about the way America is sinking, and the power vacuum being left behind. Gotta say, I wasn’t quite so uplifted any more now that I remembered that China will be taking that role on the world stage. Maybe 100 years from now people will be watching Chinese movies and using Chinese loan words.

        In the West those movies will probably still be in English and mainly from Hollywood. But China will own half the companies making movies there.
        Things will change, but somehow they will remain mostly the same.

        China is facing a huge demographic crisis in the next 10-15 years, so I don’t think so. More likely the EU steps up but the world becomes more multipolar in general.

            One child policy left them with a population bubble that’s going to burst. Meaning population will nosedive because the older generations were so much bigger than the newer ones, this means there’s not as many grandkids making money for the family, especially since their youth is having a hard time finding good jobs, also, since the youth are unemployed, they’re not as likely to come up to speed as fast as if they had been working in their field should an opportunity show up. And with so much of their youth being educated, nobody wants to farm or manufacture anymore. Population bubbles come with EXTREME economic dangers that will require massive policy/societal change at just the right time to navigate through. It’s like doing WRC racing in an 80s Porsche 911. I’m sure it CAN be done, but good luck.

            However, the US is trying to manufacture this problem with chasing off Latinos. Without immigration, were a nation in decline.
