No New Cars

[Mayday]

awesome- where there is scarcity there is opportunity! So much shit that could be made in the USA has been made in China for nothing other than cost. Plastic spoons? Toothpicks? Flip flops? I mean seriously- this supply chain disruption is fantastic.

I have a heap of marble coming from Italy for our new house being built. It’s things like this that will triple in price next year.

Furniture is a big one also anything steel/aluminium related. But just remember you will earn the same wage and a cupboard will be 10x it’s price today.

Think of the 1960s and that’s where we will end up. Having a lot less of everything.

My cars always get eventually wrecked in accidents and the insurance company totals them.

Take a defensive driving course.

My car has 210k miles.

But I keep it running by working for Auto Zone.

Your car has nearly 10 times the mileage my 5 year old Mazda does. I keep my car working by driving it a little as possible and getting it serviced right on schedule. It may be the last car I buy.

   Ivermectin already stops Covid. But then that wouldn't fit your narrative, lol

Uh huh

What does that have to do with the accomplishments of the Cubans?

Thanks, Prime.

I’m hoping we can one day meet and I can take a ride with you in your Mazda and take a road trip to visit Dr. Goodrum.

It takes very little to total a car today.  It's cheaper for the insurance company to junk them. Repairing cars are through the roof now.

Since NONE of the mRNA vaccines actually work, it means they've accomplished nothing in Cuba. And although my original comment was about China (I know, they both start with a C and end with an A so you were confused), Cuba has invented nothing of value either. Go find a new car in Cuba made by Cubans, lol.


Cigars don't count- Mother Nature made the tobacco.

That’s not fair.

Cuba has only had 60 years to learn about automobile technology. It won’t be much longer until they’ve figured mass production, assembly line manufacturing and distribution of goods.

Especially after the car is older.

I have a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country in great condition.  Cost $29,000 new but now book value around $3-$4k.

Any kind of collision now and it would be totaled and they'd send me a check.

A defensive driving course doesn't prevent someone else from crashing into you unfortunately.  Would save you a few bucks on your insurance premium but sitting through a multi-hour driving lecture is hardly worth it unless you are a very bored individual.

The discussion was regarding the accomplishments of communist countries, and Cuba is under communist rule.  Hence its relevance to the discussion.  Are you able to follow that path of logic?  If not, I can break it down even further for you.

Not likely.  More likely is China's economic meltdown and crash from over-valued, unregulated stock market, real estate and defaulted debt.

At some point the Chinese Commmunists will fall.

Please do.

So Cuba, in less than a years time Cuba has developed 2 Covid vaccines, but in 60 years they haven't developed a single automobile technology?

Hypertrophy asked for an example of a Cuban made automobile, I said the need a little more time to develop one.

I'm sorry if you find this offensive.

[SOMEPARTS]

Please do.

Dear comrades China gave them the original recipe?

China has huge infrastructure problems and they can barely feed their own people.  They aren't taking over shit.

I tried to buy a new car in Europe a few weeks ago, they were quoting 26 weeks before they can even accept the order and then a two month build time.....

Had to laugh at that one.
