Well, if the Red Chinese capture this prize, the cars
couldn't be much worse than they are now.

75,000 US Employees seem like a lot
Our President bragged hard about changing the American landscape
by adding 6,000 jobs at Carrier Air Conditioning

ended up being 1,100 jobs (So HUGE)

So 75,000 seems like more
but I'm not good at measuring crowd sizes

It was the only car company with quality controls the Chinese could understand

Chrysler: buy it new, drive it for two years, it falls apart, toss it

All Chinese cars: buy it new, drive it for a couple years, it falls apart, toss it


When they bid on Tesla let me know

I'm sorry to sound like an old Nationalist
but I think it's pretty important to make note
When CHINA it bidding to buy an American Core Brand

It mildly annoys me
and this whole "whatever, Chrysler sucks" is completely beside the point

I think Pepsi sucks
I think Apple Computers suck
and I think Dodge Trucks suck

But I'd still be at least a little bit alarmed were CHINA bidding on them

Why does it annoy you?

China's ability to bid on American brands is partly because of the scale of their economy (just by sheer numbers they can out weigh us while coming nowhere near outperforming us -

But they are booming- it is a validation of the capitalist economy with strict state control model (but not an I validation of other models)

It should make you happy

Jizz, your attitude is so 90s. You would think it was a major defense contractor they were bidding on.

Not surprising. The left on full monkey tilt the last 10 months has been swallowing many who used to be somewhat sane. kalm seems to be pulling out of it thankfully, but folks like Jon are going deeper down the wormhole.

So do you include the whole Nazi thing in with the conservatives.?
Or are they separate..?

Do Nazi's marching in the street count as The whole Right going Monkey tilt ?

Just looking for clarification

Nazis have been marching in the streets for a long time. Doesn't really have to do with who is in office. The left monkey tilt is 100% caused by the last election. You guys were all giddy before Trump won.

The election brought out the whack jobs from both sides. The alt-left acts like armageddon is imminent and the alt-right has come out of the woodwork to reclaim what they feel should be theirs. They're all batshit crazy and refuse to consider any other points of view.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88
