Volume matters for automation. Us made market would be only for us. 15 to 20% of cell market. Less by volume.

India afaik only assembles. Its the components that are highly automated.

25% tariffs on all phones in us because all are made outside of us, is just a sales tax on a modern necessity. Will still be hard to invest on us manufacturing or assembly

Fixed

Organizations with enough money do have the power to influence humanism. It makes roi in long term if human sustainability actually is winning policy. It is only a mistake to backtrack on financially if raping planet asap is policy to support.

If a more important priority than not killing all of you and your descendants, or at least not greatly increasing their cost of survival, then fuck you and your fucking children.

War on russia was already path to alternatives. Doing nothing to oppose USA war on us, is new excuse to fuck us all.

They are. Is Canada rulership able to grt policy Impacts? I only hear of enhanced military subjugation offers.

At Shanghai 2025 car show, there were at least 5 flying car models from major auto players.

Is video about china or canada? Not clear any changes with Canada have occurred. Or blowback he notices.

Bipole III transmission line, built to deliver power from northern to southern Manitoba, jumped in cost from $2.2 billion in 2007 to over $5 billion once completed roughly 10 years later.

No mountains and cheap land rights. This was also a project that was backup/resilience focused, just as any new Canada trade project would be. A 5% ROI (yield), at 10% capacity utilization (36 days of backup per year), excluding all maintenance and operations costs for 2gw transmission line would require $3.42/mwh cost which doesn’t seem that bad, but hydro capacity is almost always under 50%, and there was just one main incident that resulted in a 4 day power outage in last 30 years. So putting cost as at least $10/mwh or even $20/mwh is reasonable. Main value is job creation boondoggle.

Much higher resilience value for Hydro power (subject to droughts impact on capacity from global warming) is solar and batteries and EVs with V2G. 5gw solar (can cost under $5B) will provide 5000 mwh (equivalent to 10% capacity on 2gw hvdc line) on the worst winter day, 15000mwh on average winter day, and 45000mwh on typical summer day. V2G is generally a consumer expense, but paying them $20-$50/mwh margin for arbitrage ensures full solar sales, and lets individual consumers have 4+ days of resilience if they want to prioritize that over V2G profits in emergency. Consumer solar is also a private expense that lets them arbitrage EV power to greater profit. Even if all equipment/EVs is China sourced, there is significant local job creation/expenses for cheaper power and power resilience.

could this boil one molecule of water?

Disappointing to see adoption of CPC/PP platform cluelessness policy priority. Canada needs to spend on industrial policy to fight US, and prepare for hardships. His first BS of offering US empire more weapons purchases for more force multiplier warmongering was embarassing enough. Head in the sand “negotiations” is not going to go well.

Priority needs to be to destroy US economy, to save Canada’s. If plan is to do nothing, we can do without an auto industry too, but waiting until the crisis evolves is just negligent.

The process itself must serve evil. As a process, single issue bills permit a clear stand on good/evil with debate on the issue to convince/justify vote. Multi issue bills permit a horse trade of my evil interests to be included for your evil interest to also be included.

It can backfire though. Too big a deal can get some to leave the corruption consensus over 1 provision included. Everyone is given more power to grandstand against evil.

The bill that makes it illegal for precautions is snuck inside megabill with 100 other bad provisions so no debate occurs on it.

FYI, the US empire is evil. Like media, AI must be used to protect the Empire’s evil.

OP isn’t even new. This is a special forces video that is 1-2 years old. It’s hard to make them land “gracefully”.

Not an expert, but it is/was a $16B plant investment made during a time when shipping to US would be tariff free. All Canadian plants export some to US.

To get invited on business news, you must either say Stonks go up, or China go down.

automation is viable but when it’s implemented in a way that reduces manufacturing cost to increase shareholder value it fails to improve standard of living for those who don’t share in the value.

That won’t be stopped. UBI does improve standard of living of everyone, and is a better policy than subsidizing/fighting for overpaid jobs for a select few.

imports or automation or immigration is a path to lower cost of stuff and provide improved quality of life as a result. There is still employment/income potential from selling the stuff. Influencer is such a job.

Fair labour market would require that labour is not made desperate by structural threats of homelessness and starvation. Structural supremacism of capital/business policies is corruption of labour markets.

Car culture and city/road design is very much a function of the importance of auto industry. Your transportation priorities are easier to push for when auto lobby is not also a job lobby.

The key is batteries. Honda is supposed to be making a battery factory (and whole EVs) in Ontario. It is a key “sensible option” to continue supporting. But there has to be a threat of abandoning all product sales from manufacturers who abandon Canada.

Chinese technology for battery plants in Canada using Canadian materials (other than lithium) can make good value EVs in Canada. I don’t know that Honda can do the same.

UBI directly creates economic growth by having more people able to afford more things. That means needing more people to make and sell the things. The freedom to say no to work makes it easier for people who want jobs to get better jobs.

Your point that it could remove the need for minimum wage is a scary thought when you consider the corporate obligation to maximize investor returns.

Your fear is that corrupt markets are the normal inescapable form of markets. That we are all just slaves desperately hoping for the kindest of asshole master to pay us for work. UBI fixes the power imbalance (corruption) in labour market. It also means power redistribution to the people.
