The weather is not looking great for the MGP with heavy rain storms threatening the venue coming from the Denver mountains, seems we have the Miami good weather here at the moment with a sweltering high of 22C today.

Key findings regarding BYD's direct aid include:

You think that is a free market?
Do recall that US "invested" $80B in the automotive industry (GM, Chrysler, but not Ford) bailout (2008-2010), primarily through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

You think $3.7B BYD got from China even matters in that context?

My point is that corrupt government meddling in free markets should be contained, not increased or justified!

I can't even reply to that with out insulting you so I will take a pass.
Do try.
I have extensive direct professional experience with both industries (telematics in particular), and could help you learn a few things on the subject, if you were so inclined.
