    I’m sure a more vertically integrated supply chain comes with its own problems. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution. Even if the current US model better promotes competition, that doesn’t seem to be making EVs more affordable.

      Though entirely removed from the situation, one large thing tends to be more efficient than many small ones.

      So back to our situation here, China’s better figured out how to integrate this, allowing them to do more with less. Over a large enough timeline, this is all but a death sentence to america unless we can all stop acting like children for 5 minutes and work together.

      This is why a superrich class is not only dangerous to an individual (ie food security), but to the country as a whole.
