Why The U.S. EV Industry Is Facing A Battery Shortage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F713pmZCN2I&ab_channel=CNBC

Not just EV batteries that Korean companies are building out in the US, but the US also lags in semiconductors and 5G technology, which the US now is heavily counting on South Korea again, due to lack of US investments in those crucial high tech areas that will define the world’s future.

How exactly do you expect to achieve social justice of you invest in power and communications instead of diversity czars?

CH, in ten-cent minds, diversity is measured by oneness of thought with Winnie XI. They don’t have time for that Rooskie stuff…

Can anybody tell me the difference between Wan Gang’s electric vehicles and Elon Musk’s electric vehicles? I was just wondering for the sake of this thread.

Military leaders at the Pentagon say that vaccines will be shipped to bases overseas in the coming weeks.

We should be able to vaccinate at least 100,000 beneficiaries in the coming weeks,” Army Maj. Gen. Jill K. Faris of US Army Medical Command said during the briefing on April 8.

“We have roughly 12,000 allocations arriving this week and should have a similar number if not increases arriving in the subsequent weeks,” Faris said during the briefing.

“As of this week, US army Europe and Africa has administered at least 37,000 covid-19 vaccine doses and 17,000 to fully vaccinated members in Europe.”

USFK?

Someone kindly explain how a servicemember getting a chinkpox vaccine is a “beneficiary”.

Side effects of the vaccines are FAR higher than deaths in the military (if there even are any)… being that they are the least at-risk groups… mostly under 50, no other diseases, almost no obesity.

Did the guy who authorized this never hear of Agent Orange or Gulf War Syndrome?

My dad used to bathe in Agent Orange containers and it didn’t do me no harm.

(seriously…he did. Can you believe they used to do that?)

Ah… so he was the beneficiary of a concave cylindrical self-contained reinforced transportable reusable portable personal hygiene-maintaining containment unit with the self-sustaining function of remaining completely vegetation free.

“Washington believed to be behind LG-SK battery settlement”

“Biden calls settlement ‘win for American workers and the American auto industry'”

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/2021/04/515_306965.html

Certainly no win for South Korean workers here. South Korea has been running a charity program for the US, in return for the US running a protection racket for Korea, and to ensure South Korea pays $5 billion a year protection money to the US, and South Korea to buy billions and billions of dollars worth of US military equipment each year. Now top that off with bullying South Korean firms to “invest” in the US and move all the manufacturing jobs to the US. Sweet set up here, guys.

Beijing boy complained about Trump, who negotiated in a tough but open manner. Can’t complain when the guy he wanted instead screws Korea without lube…

Can any of you bash a git using hex?

I can.

But I find a tire iron heftier than a hex wrench.

Well, okay… but I meant something like creating a shell scriot using bash to update an application to or from git.com using Base 16 instead of Base 10 numbers….

On the other hand, your way may provoke fewer critics… especially if the git was a child-sniffing p3do…

Eight MIL in my office who got the J&J last Fri are still out sick this week. Tell me again how the benefits outweigh the risks. I love that story.

Mcgeehee, I’m not 100% certain that a vaccine using new technology, rushed through in record time, supervised by an amoral hack like Fauci, is anything I want to subject my family. Especially to prevent what amounts to a bad cold unless the overzealous hospital techs improperly use a ventilator to cause lung damage or fail to provide basic healthcare like HCQ+antibiotic+zinc…

Wife and I now know about 75 people in the DFW area who’ve had it and recovered completely. Only 3, all over 70 as it happens, had to be hospitalized–and all were home in 4-5 days, including the guy who had a stroke just prior and the guy still getting chemo…

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous to people already sick with diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, fatal gunshot wounds, an overdose of fentanyl, or end-stage renal failure. And if any of the Dear Readers lost a loved one to COVID-19 + Comobidities, you have my sincere sympathy; but the gummint is still lying about something.

The more I observe, the more I realize:

The more enthusiastic someone is to get the vax, the better off society is without them.

If this vax turns out to fùck people up, I’m buying Bill Gates and George Soros a drink.

CH, that’s a good idea. Just don’t let them pour you one. Even if they’re not wearing a Borgia ring…
