Stellantis CEO says tariffs on Chinese EVs are a 'major trap'

I suspect #Stellantis' CEO is (laughably) wrong about how tariffs on Chinese EVs would trigger inflation. It DOES bolster a suspicion of mine:

#China's #GreenTech industry is exploding at the same time they belch Greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

I believe this to be ON PURPOSE.

China is flooding the atmosphere to ACCELERATE #ClimateChange while they pour BILLIONS into Green Tech in an attempt to corner the market.

Saving $ using cheap energy w/o emissions concerns is a plus.

I haven't checked the list yet, but if they didn't include any of his "Bachman books", it's a bad list.

(Checked. They include two "post-Bachman" books (written as Richard Bachman, but released as Stephen King.) Then include all-four of "The Bachman Books" as a single entry. Not sure that counts.

I have strong doubts T**** will even end up doing any debates.

He has a LONG history of making (false) promises he has no intention/ability to keep, soaks up the praise, finds an excuse to not do it, and his Members rush to his defense for not following through ("It wasn't going to be fair!" or "they changed the rules!")

And the Media has yet to catch on.

This interview by criminal defendant Powell is interesting. It suggests that the purpose of the insurrection was to DELAY the electoral college certification to give time to intervene on this legal challenge. But, Powell says they didnโ€™t anticipate Pelosi reconvening Congress that day.

A criminal can openly sell their office (without shame) on behalf of their biggest donor(s), (ab)using their power to help that donor, argue they are "above the law" so there is no consequence, and then game the so they win despite getting fewer votes.

They called Bill Clinton a philanderer. Investigated Hillary for failing to stop an attack on a gov't building, & LockHerUp for a pvt email server.

Instead, it has worked out the opposite.

Trump didn't just steal 11,172 documents & LOST at least 45 , he also showed off intel to agents he invited into the Oval Office.

And this was after turning "Lock Her Up" into a meme b/c Hillary installed a private email server in her home (upon which NOT A SINGLE classified doc was found) and 1 DE-classified document on her phone. For this, she was pilloried as "too reckless with National Security secrets" to be president.

One way I fight higher prices is that I do a lot more of my grocery shopping online and use the free pick-up service.

A huge time saver and I can compare prices between stores (take better advantage of "digital deals" & coupons) and not suddenly discover the store I'm in wants too much for a particular product. How often have I bought too many/few items to get the Kroger "buy5" discount?)

...and my dog can come with me to pick up my groceries (she loves rides in the car.) ๐Ÿ˜‰
