  1. Adapt, change or go bankrupt. Nokia and Kodak were once leaders in their industries but were slow to adapt to new technology. Legacy auto dealers are a nightmare for legacy auto makers. They gouged customers trying to buy electric vehicles. Legacy auto dealers abused their customers by adding market price adjustments to gouge their customers for EVs They added pricey add ons and other costs to pump up the prices and their profits. Tesla has the right idea. Buy online. No hassle. No sitting in a show room for hours. No salesman BS. No crazy markups. No I have to see my manager BS. With Tesla you can buy a vehicle in 5 minutes or less online. The dealers have no one to blame but themselves. The dealers are dragging the legacy auto makers down with them. The problem with legacy auto makers having slow sales leads back to the legacy auto dealers. They try to talk people out of buying and EV an want to put them in a gasoline car. Many people hate going to legacy car dealerships. Many people call them stealer ships for a reason. New car, used car or going in for repairs you always walk out feeling cheated. People have no sympathy for dealers.

  2. Europe, Germany and the rest of the world have been too slow to transition to wind and solar energy and all electric vehicles. Wind and solar energy do not need to be imported and can be produced locally in any country. Europe needs to provide incentives for homes and businesses to install electric heat pumps and get rid of old polluting gas and oil boilers. The move to electric vehicles will also be sped up. There is no good reason to help fund Putin's war by buying oil, gas and coal from Russia. There is a Climate Crisis making weather events more extreme. Time to switch to renewable energy.

  3. Lie, cheat and steal are all too common today. China allows too much corruption. Theft of intellectual property is common. They try to dominate the market and put other local companies out of business. Spammers, scammers and phishing accounts are common and not prosecuted. Disinformation is a common tool to divide people and rally supporters. You can not trust any numbers produced by companies or the government from China. China's economy is in slow decline. The virus lock downs sped it up. Lower GDP, higher unemployment, property developer bankruptcies, small and medium businesses going broke, local governments running out of cash, local banks running out of cash and individual personal despair of the population will lead to lower consumer spending. Foreign investors and foreign corporations are fleeing China for less risky places to invest. Xi and the CCP have move China away from a market economy to one with splanned state owned enterprises.

  4. China's economy is in slow decline. The virus lock downs sped it up. Throwing more money at building empty buildings will not fix it. Lower GDP, higher unemployment, property developer bankruptcies, small and medium businesses going broke, local governments running out of cash, local banks running out of cash and individual personal despair of the population will lead to lower consumer spending. This will end up impacting the world economy and the US. China will try to spend its way out of its decline with government stimulus and that will reduce prices of goods produced in China and shipped around the world. Inflation will decline. China is the worlds second largest economy. A slow down in China will slow demand for energy. Steel production has declined and companies are going bankrupt because of the property developers stopped projects all over the country. The property developers collapse will ripple thru out the economy. Lock downs made it worse. Individuals, corporations, bond holders and investors are leaving China. The ruffled feathers about Taiwan are meant to stir up people and have them rally around the CPP and China. They need to distract people from all the economic problems in China. China will export deflation around the world. Their factories will keep running and exporting until they go bankrupt.

  5. Australia needs to elect more climate leaders and dump climate deniers and fossil fuels industry puppets. Voting matters.

  6. Nuclear energy is too costly and too dangerous. Fukushima and Chernobyl are still spewing poisons into the environment.

  7.  @pilozm  Not technologies that poison the environment. Fukushima and Chernobyl are still spewing poisons into the environment decades after their disasters. They will never be cleaned up.

  8. Toyota and Honda are being left behind. Japan needs more environmentalists. The OLD guard is still thinking of the past and projecting it forward. Young people get it. There is a Climate Crisis. We need Climate Action NOW. ICE vehicle sales are declining while EV sales are growing.

  11. China is too aggressive with its people, its neighbors and the world. This aggressive behavior has consequences. This is bad for China and the world. It is much better to get along with others and solve differences by trying to develop a win - win solution. Win - lose solutions are bad for people and the planet. We all need to get along and quit trying to lie, cheat or steal to get ahead in life. China has poisoned its air, land and water resources abusing its people, nature and the environment. Xi has killed the "Golden Goose" He has moved the country away from a market economy and back to a planned economy with government owned businesses. Foreign companies and foreign investors have left for friendlier countries. The risks in China are too high. Supporting China's excess manufacturing capacity is bad for the world. China's huge subsidies to their manufacturers are meant to hurt any competitions and give them out of business. Free and fair competition is not understood or practiced in China. The rest of the world needs to stand up to their unfair subsidies or loose their own manufacturing base.

  13. Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply. Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat, snow storms and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants. Time to go all in on wind and solar energy, battery storage and electric vehicles. Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet. The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
