  • Cant access the article, here’s a dumb AI summary “The article by David Fickling on Bloomberg Law discusses China’s electric vehicle (EV) subsidy system. Fickling argues that China can’t reduce its EV subsidies because it isn’t actually paying them in full. While the Chinese government provides financial incentives to encourage the growth of the EV industry, much of the support is being delayed or deferred, and in some cases, the payments are not made at all. The article highlights the gap between China’s ambitious EV targets and the practical realities of its financial commitments, pointing out that many EV companies rely on the promise of subsidies, even though the actual funds have often not been disbursed as expected. This reliance on delayed payments could undermine the sustainability of the industry and the broader transition to electric vehicles.”





  • The whole mental health angle is reaching a bit far, but if anyone actually invokes it, I wouldn’t fight back. Like sure, you don’t want comment clashes, I can understand, I won’t trigger them.

    I just have a problem with considering the whole hexbear instance as toxic and ideologically dubious. I get why someone might feel like that, but seeing 5 top level comments repeating it when I just don’t believe it’s true, I felt like adding my grain of salt.

    We sit at the same table to try and bring the left together. I don’t care about helping Hexbear, I just wanna interest random users to challenge their views like I do. I have to work at standing up to others, true, but I haven’t encountered slurs, calls to violence or troll behavior from Hexbear, at least none that haven’t been resolved properly (though I’m sure it can happen).

    Sometimes you express a view that’s untrue or that lacks empathy and get called out for it. It feels insulting when it happens, but I doesn’t have to be.






  • This feels very important. I think it’s a core reflexion on why some means are acceptable once the material conditions have degraded enough. In general, when a fight is just, I tend to reflect twice before condemning alleged “violence”, including light stuff like breaking park benches or lamp posts which is heavily demonized in the media, let alone popular liberation armies around the world.
