I'm so confused. I thought the foundation of Capitalism was free market pressure. Doesn't restricting what people can buy and where from kind of undermine the entire ideal?

It ain't weird if you've been paying any attention to how nation states compete, over the years.

I think you're confusing the president with the actual people in the country.

Everything I've read about the factory in Hungary was true of countless companies in the US. There are people here who work 7 days a week too.

The reason it's an issue in Hungary is because the EU has stronger labor protections than we do. If this were happening in the US, I'm convinced it would be completely ignored.

I don't know why people keep down voting this.

They've found subhuman slave like labour conditions both in the factories in Hungary and Brazil.

Their tech is great, but no one should support any companies that violate human rights. PERIOD!

Like the US factories that have mandatory overtime and if you don't meet the requirement you get fired? 6-7 days a week and 10 hours a day.

Don't get all high and mighty. Companies making cars in the USA have been busted numerous times having children as young as 12 working in the factories.

just modeling their behaviours on the likes of Nike, Apple etal.

when ipads were being assembled in India and workers were throwing themselves off the roof of the factory from stress, the soltion was ...to install nets

Yeah, that's what's funny. They're insanely substudized and built by people making $300/mo. They also catch fire from thermal runaway at a massively higher rate.

I've test driven 4 different chinese brands for shits and giggles... they drive horribly! They lack the most basic features like single pedal driving, the thing EVs are known for?

Got any source on that? The EV lines are nearly 100% automated.
