The real reason the puppet -Elect was duped again: Tesla Gigafactories are being built in Shanghai, since 2019; A quarter of the company’s revenue comes from China. It's called the "outbound investment” provision. #DeportElon #ChinaFirst prospect.org/politics/202...

The Government Is Shutting Down Because Elon Musk Has Factories in China
There’s a mundane reason for the late-term chaos, and it’s called a conflict of interest.

Be careful when subscribing to moderation block lists! I accidentally found out I was blocking some perfectly fine people here because they were on a block list I subscribed to when I first got here. Turns out the list was run by a MAGA troll trying to get anti-MAGA resisters to block each other.😡
