    Your on crack. New cars _are_ to impress the neighbors. Lose 40% of value in their first year.

    Yeah, week power, plus diesel. So just generally sucks. But you can still flog the piss out of it, just your redline is about 400 RPM.

    You can get just about any car down to under 25mpg, if you drive it right.

    Keep up your RPM, never hesitate to downshift, basically flog the piss out of it.

    Tesla has ludicrous speed. You just need to use your foot.

    Chinese machine tools are sloppy junk. They won't even buy them. They prefer German though. Jap hate keeps them from going there. The Germans are making fortunes manufacturing tools in S. Korea for China.

    Chinese Cutters (end mills etc) are OK, but that industry is so automated they don't have a _huge_ advantage.

    What did I say? New cars are to _impress_the_neighbors_, not for transportation.

    Especially when talking about $8500+/year worth of new car.

    Karl Marx wrote 'On the Jewish Question'/'On the Jewish Problem' (depending on the politics of the translator). Clearly a Nazi.

    Trump realizes that the trade war has been on for _decades_, wants to start fighting back.

    The two biggest up and coming economies (China and India) are both very protectionist. It's time for that to change.

    China and India can't retaliate by imposing tariffs of their own, because those tariffs have been there forever. Apparently having low cost labor isn't enough for them, they also need local ownership rules, high import tariffs and currency pegs. All protectionist laws.

  14. Define AI...short answer 'no'. Weak AI is just a classifier, modeled after nematodes and other very primitive life forms. We don't even know where to start for strong AI, no theories, perhaps a few untested hypotheses.

    As a practical matter, you don't add runways. You switch to larger airplanes. SF and Oakland are carrying as many flights as they can, but still have a _ton_ of additional capacity available.

    Vegas? So last century.

    Vagas is a shithole, just a bigger, even shittyier version of Reno.

    Nobody bitches that the Netherlands is at sea level. Because the swamp Germans pay their own costs.

    But we're not building people a brand new slum, right where the last one 'fell over and sank into the swamp'. Slums are the leftover housing.
