Would be nice to see global sanctions against the US. Not realistic, but I hope all countries are moving towards significantly reducing American reliance. It'll be a slow process, but needs to be done.

    Honestly sanctions agains companies like these that can be weaponized politically sounds very reasonable.

    They are national security threat in the true meaning of the word.

    I've been looking at getting solar installed, and been talking to a few different companies for quotes. One place only supplies PowerWall batteries, and I said to the sales rep that I wasn't really interested in buying anything from Tesla and his face made it pretty clear that that was the answer he'd been getting a lot recently
