I love nixon almost as much as I love andrew jackson, but Nixon was the one that opened the door for the China stuff. he wanted to open up a massive market for US goods, but a lot of the modern dems decided to offshore all our manufacturing there.
Nixon did not declassify technology in exchange for campaign donations from China. When I say Clinton sold us out to China, I mean he quite literally took money from China (IIRC it was about $2m in campaign funds) in exchange for doing things that objectively harmed America's global and national interests.

Moreover, Nixon's strategic pivot to China was to ensure the USSR could not count on China as an ally if the Cold War went hot. Nixon foresaw that due to its immense population, China was going to rise once the chaos of Maoism ended. As a great student of history, Nixon knew that revolutionary periods always end, so there was no question of Mao's revolution ending. The only question was would they be joined to Moscow at the hip or not. A Beijing-Moscow axis would have been unimaginably dangerous to the USA. Nixon did the right thing for America at the time. Nobody in 1972 foresaw that the USSR would not exist 20 years later.

Yeah, as you point out the insurance will be the deal breaker. There's no need to make driving manually illegal if the insurance is so expensive that only the wealthy can afford it.
Add in the paperwork burden and it will be analogous to purchasing machine guns: you can do it if you have a clean record, submit to the background check, wait for approval and have enough money to justify it. All of which means very few people will do it.
The whole concept of 'DUI' will be gone, and the only fatal accidents will be some bizarre tire blow out situation that the AI can't handle. Frankly I am looking forward to it. I consider manual driving like manual flying until the 90s, was 'safe' usually but not 'super safe' like it's been since 2000 outside of terrorist or weird anomalies.

I want my damn machine guns though lol. What's bad about that is nothing made after 86 is legal. I don't want to see manual cars cut off at some arbitrary date like that, just that it becomes virtually free to have a self driving car vs manual. A lot of things are probably going to change in the next 10 years like that with robotics and AI when it comes to transportation and just life.

Speaking of machine guns, since the NFA has no tax amount on suppressors and SBRs now when will that be declared illegal.. sigh. I am finally considering a suppressor now, but the NFA has to go entirely and replaced with maybe some select-fire only restrictions and get rid of the 86 ban.

If we (somehow) win the midterms then the Democrat party is going to be basically irrelevant on a federal level. 2028 Vance will win easily if Newsome if their presidential candidate and after the 2030 census is going to make things so much worse for them. That isn't even factoring in the VRA possibly being struck down and the deportations taking away even more seats come next census.

The real threat we're going to need to focus on after that is getting these worthless geriatric cucked GOPers primaried by people who aren't gay retards.

Which is not necessarily a good thing for local PDs as DUIs and traffic incidents make up pretty much the entirety of their budgets. It's their biggest source of revenue and without that kind of fat on the trim, how the police are going to funded is fucking beyond me. It's literally the most profitable means of keeping police self-funding.

But of course we all know a defunded police is the Democrats wet dream.

The Democrats have no leaders at all. Newsom is hopeless. I'm not worried about 2028 or after 2030 with census. The problem now is the gerrymandering the dems are doing. All the generic 'dems are going to win' is baked into the midterms. Plus opposite party.

It freaks me out that these gambling sites are getting more and more influential early on. Sucks. I expect the house to be razor thing, possible tie or +/- either. Senate +2 Rep. It'll be kind of an interesting race cause of how fast things change these days politically.

ETA @Party Hat Wurmple If local cops can't get retard income, then cut them. I know they hate that idea too but really, they mostly suck. DUI is more or less a sin tax for the municipalities which is a shame.

I don't think you really understand how much of our government's legal system is funded by traffic stops. If manual driving were banned, we're facing an entire restructuring and likely shutdown, of a vast portion of the entire justice system.

You say that like it's a bad thing. If what is shutdown and restructured only existed to prosecute, jail and fine DUI's and traffic stops, then the remaining infrastructure of law enforcement should be leaner, more efficient and highly effective without the distractions caused by the rest.

I get it. And good. Fuck em. Let them focus on ICE stuff, getting rid of illegals.

It's sad that we have to worry about decreased crime because the good ol boys in law enforcement might have less gibs.

I’m forced to believe that Kissinger misled him regarding the effect on American manufacturing. It just doesn’t fit with basically everything else we know about Nixon that he saw having an industrial base as a burden to shed
 
"Young families could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be young families anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his Pine Tree Flag tattoo. "I HATE YOUNG FAMILIES" he thought. The McDonald's Menu Song reverberated his entire car, making it pulsate even as the $5 MONSTER Energy Zero Ultra circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of changing demographics after dark. "With a car, you could go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

The mass motion of American manufacturing to China happened in the 1990s under Clinton after a variety of policy changes and accelerated after the PNTR in 2000. Nixon died in 1994. I don't think Kissinger misled Nixon about what would happen after the USSR fell and a Commie-sympathizing traitor to America became President, because nobody in 1972 knew that would happen.

Clinton accelerated it, but the last year the US ever had a trade surplus was 1979, and whatever other retarded shit Carter was doing, he was also implementing the framework that Kissinger and Nixon established.

These fucking faggots should NEVER have any say when it comes to technology, because they ALWAYS find someway to make it worse than they already were.
Maybe I’m a fool, but I just don’t care about the non-privacy future.

Car can be shutdown by cops? Eh. Probably stopped me from doing something retarded. If my car can take me home after I’m black out drunk? lol, that would rule.

Cameras everywhere? Whatever. I’m jerking it to Latina milf porn with my windows fully open anyways. I lost any sense of dignity so seeing “Bald nigga jacking it YouTube reel.” Would be funny. I’m pretty sure my priest, boss, ex-wives and children wouldn’t appreciate it, but I would ask them “Why you searching for bald niggas jacking off? Checkmate. Never play checkers against a chess master, NIGGA!”

Constant biometric data? Whatever. Maybe they can tell me when I get prostate cancer early enough and alert me to a upcoming heart attack.

My post history? Well, I’ll just have to come clean with the world and say I like posting retarded things and saying the word nigger. Such is my burden against society.

I don’t know. I’m conflicted, but the future gay cyber world we have can’t really get worse.

You seem to not understand much about history. FDR had commies in his midst, he was almost completely controlled by them. it's like you never even heard of joe fuckign mccarthy either.

sure he didn't believe it would happen, but to claim he was completely unaware shows just how much you misunderstand the man. It was a risk, you downplaying that risk just shows you are fuckign stupid.

Commies didn't just pop up out of the muck in the 90s.

No, but Clinton screwed us with China Most Favored Trade and NAFTA. 2 long term hits. And H1B also really got started with him too. Once BS like that gets entrenched it's nearly impossible in the US 'democracy' system to undo.
 
I have a Tesla, a Volvo, a Range Rover and a Ferrari. The Tesla, which has FSD, has an insurance premium that is twice the premium of the other cars.

(Example: if the Volvo, Range Rover, Ferrari are each $100 a month, the Tesla is $200)
Can confirm. Friend works in insurance, Teslas and any other electric cars cost way more on insurance. The reason is they are heavier and can do more damage to other vehicles and if they get damaged it’s usually total loss because it’s too expensive to repair the battery.

Also if they get damaged badly on the road, it’s a huge environmental hazard and fire has to spray some special retardant or let the vehicle burn out because batteries.

its been a long slow gradual decline, hard to blame a single admin or even decade, this has been a half century in the making

the most hilarious part is that, on paper, our manufacturing GDP is going up year over year (cause line MUST go up) because our money is garbage but its just us vastly overcharging for a handful of boutique items, mass production in this country is a thing of the past unless your talking about pure plastic
