Lets presume this thing retails at - very unrealistic low price - of $500. How many people would buy this weird thing per month - even at this low price point? 10? 50? 100? Imagine you're an engineer and your competency is worth $200,0

What does it have to do with "Capitalism" per se? If you have a well made, but very niche product that sells in very small volumes it will be expensive. If any of the labour & assembly happens in US that turns it into unavoida

If China government kickstarted their EV sector (along many others) and enabled them to be competitive, strong and dominating. That means the Chinese government is doing a really good job. I really hate this argument where every government

Difference between $1 and $.10 is always irrelevant unless you're mass manufacturing, which I presume you aren't on a remote island. Plus, arm cortex-m0+ cores aren't $1, they are also available in $.15-$.30 range. Westeners

No, the currency has value only in as so far as you can buy stuff you need with it. Lets say you're Germany, US imports make up only 6.9% of total import value(Netherlands is 7.1% and China 12.5% on top) closely followed by Poland with

US monopoly money has value mainly because of petro dollar. Once that wraps up, US money will be not much more than toiletpaper. And that is wrapping up because world has like ~60years of oil left at current consumption rates.

Man, every time where there's a Chinese product category you realistically can't compete with - it's always some excuse of - because Chinese state is subsidizing it and supporting it. All it does is simply makes the Chinese g
