The entire reason he is so big on EV's is because all his cronies in the DNC are heavily invested in the battery industry.

Yes and because China is getting ready to flood the market with cheap-ass EVs made in Mexico, all approved by Biden.

I avoid buying anything from China, personally.

That's how business is done in Washington. Democrats are just better at it that the GOP.

SBF admitted he heavily donated to Democrats in part because it would get the media off his back.


The fact Democrats can rule the country like a mob and Republicans who do nothing still make the races competitive show how inept they are.

GOP run it like a an endless well of cash and exclusively do the bidding of corporations, big farm, also big pharm, banks and especially the MIC and a specific foreign country.

Which, while they are not nearly as adept at shaking down businesses and using the DOJ to threaten them into submission/donation, but they are pretty damn good at setting themselves up for life after office raking in bribes. Gotta give them credit where credit is due.

Democrats run it like a corrupt cartel and if the GOP tries it, they end up getting investigated and serve jail it if they get anywhere close to the corruption level of the Dems. If the leading stock investor was a Republican instead of Pelosi, someone would be getting investigated.

The leading stock investors actually are Republicans. Pelosi is in the top 10 but all the top spots: GOP. I can find the list somewhere, and maybe it's changed since I saw it last, but the GOP are big peices of chit, just different kinds of chit.

You're right, they have a hostile media, so they game things more quietly. Mostly, they've just carved out different territories, like all mobs do. Democrats have their turf, GOP has theirs and they respect it to avoid a war and everyone gets rich from it. Save the people, who all get fuked up the ass by the both of them, of course.

It's not hard to not buy China. Might be for you, though.

Companies make great ROI on bribes, it's whwy they all do it.

Why single out Apple though - let's go nuts and name every single large corporation as an offender.
