Don't count them out yet. So long as government is willing to subsidize and otherwise prop EV manufacturers up, they'll continue in business regardless of how poor their market is.
And that's a problem.

How did that happen in the Soviet Union? Venezuela? Zimbabwe? I'm really curious.Yeah, that's exactly my point. Business leads the way...government follows.

You made no mention of this delimitation. I'd be elated to discuss this with you, and my question still stands, but I do request that you not presume that I am a mindreader.You do realize of course that TA Gardner (who I was responding to) was talking about western, non-communist nations so that's what I was responding to.
Did anyone read any Jared Diamond books? He gets it totally wrong about Europe. Instead of preaching that Europe was somehow successful, he should have been pointing out how abysmally Europe failed. Europe should be the world's ruling superpower. Instead, Europe allowed constant warring and eventually the spreading of Marxism, to relegate itself to stagnation in mediocrity. With the exception of the UK, Europe essentially began to languish severely and remains that way today. France and Germany spend all their disposable income bailing out Europe's failing economies. At present, Europe is sucking wind. See ya', wouldn't wanna be ya'.Did anyone read any Jared Diamond books? His main argument is Europe became successful because it runs 9000 miles longitudinally with grasslands, horses and trade all the way to East Asia.
That would make the British empire "supporting evidence", not "proof".Diamond points to the British empire as proof even though it's a cold, wet island in Western Europe.
Hyotheses don't show anything. They are musings/speculation.Diamond's hypothesis shows that Europe is a natural trading partner with Asia,
How did you read its mind, exactly? Are you once again pretending you are omniscient?yet the US empire thinks it can break apart Eurasia.
Eurasia trade routes have been around a long time. There's nothing the US can do to end them.Hyotheses don't show anything. They are musings/speculation.
This is your current pivot. Now you are preaching the virtues of a Marxist European Union which is mostly responsible for grinding European economies to a halt and butchering individual freedoms, while concentrating great wealth and power among the unelected oligarchy.Eurasia trade routes have been around a long time. There's nothing the US can do to end them.
Russia used to dream about trade deals with the west. Now Putin is returning to the natural trade routes to the east. There's nothing the US can do to stop it.This is your current pivot.

Let's recap, shall we?
* You created this thread to preach your fundamentalist brand of Marxism, but you couldn't just announce that because you would be rightfully ignored, so you tried to pretend the thread was actually about Karl Marx.
* You became quite irritated when I began talking about Marx, precisely because nothing discredits Marxism quite as effectively as discussing Karl Marx.
* You continually pivoted to other topics, specifically of "bad things" that have occurred, claiming that each case was "capitalism" and that capitalism somehow has gone bankrupt, thus revealing that you are worse than totally ignorant in economics, i.e. you have been twisted and warped by heavy disinformation and sadly believe that you are an economics genius.
* You became quite irritated when I began teaching you actual economics that totally threatened your little happy-place bubble.
* You resumed pivoting wildly in an attempt to throw me off your trail and to prevent me from commenting on the dismally poor economics of your pivoted topic.
* Now you have pivoted to defending the European Union's butchering of freedoms and economies, discrediting your previous claims of desiring to be free
BREXIT is happening and other European countries would be very wise to follow suit and to reclaim sovereignty from their current unelected Marxist slave-masters that collectively call themselves the Euroean Union.
Russia is screwing itself. It's not trading with India and China. Russia is deserately trying to buy them off, at HUGE expense, to keep them from joining in on the "dogpile on Russia." As such, Russia's already collapsing economy will deteriorate far more rapidly and far more profoundly, causing economic hardship for all of Russia that will take additional decades to correct.Russia used to dream about trade deals with the west.

Europe is hosed.
Too funny. The reason you couldn't mention even one thing that I got wrong is that you know perfectly well that I didn't get anything wrong.You got one thing right, Europe is hosed. That's the only thing you got right.

I appreciate the confidence vote. Don't be afraid to come to me with the hard stuff.

Nope. You quite clearly, and exhaustively covered the absolutely nothing that I got wrong.I did mention one thing you got wrong. Try again Gomer.

I appreciate your extended emphasis of this point, as well as your endorsement of my post. Thanks.
OK, we'll call it a wrap.Idiot, you just highlighted the "one thing."
I think I'll keep on drinking, thank you, but I agree with you nonetheless. The internet isn't just for me. It's for everybody. I'm glad that you are sharing it with me. You're like my internet buddy.Stop drinking and get a hobby, the Internet isn't for you.

Yep, I'll keep on drinking.
I think you're a total genius.I think you're a moron and the internet isn't for you. Go away.
