Yes, lock them all up if they're guilty. Trump, Clinton, Gates...

Does it matter? Neither one eats the bull and even if one uses cheese then that doesn't come from the bull at least. Maybe one of his lovers

So it's not free market after all because the big 3 can make vehicles at home and sell abroad while the others have to make them in the US for the US market. In what way is it not a form of favoring the domestic auto companies?

China subsidises industries it wants to dominate in, allowing them to sell for less than cost. It's why the EU also tariffs Chinese cars.

Also for anything the big 3 make in the US, I believe they use union labor? Not sure if they did for Aussie market cars.

The US actually heavily tariffs foreign-made vehicles that could skirt the CAFE requirements the way American trucks do. Light trucks suffer the Chicken Tax and can only be made in Canada, US or Mexico to bypass that. Been that way since the UAW boss asked LJB to do something about the German imports growing.

Well, nearly half a million mostly union jobs would also be lost, causing a minor recession at the very least. Even if the jobs partially come back in the form of BYD plants, they probably wouldn't be union jobs.

What Ford European line? They discontinued the Mondeo and their minivans. Now it's hatch or crappy SUV. Or Mustang. Oh wait. Focus is end of life too now. It's mustang or crappy crossover SUVs only.

Java 8 to 21 + spring boot 2 to 3 brought the need to change a lot of dependencies, but often they were drop-in replacements. That was mostly Jakarta stuff. On the Spring side, a lot of things we used were deprecated, but that was not related to the Java version.

Did not take a huge amount of time to upgrade anyway. But maybe our systems weren't the most complex in the first place, a lot of our applications were pretty small.

I'll have you know I switched to starter after Trump announced his global trade war because it's locally produced and cheaper anyway.

And then several Republicans in Congress were questioning whether the city should be rebuilt at all

Obviously not, it's a black people city. Let them live in cakes or something

It's okay, it's not like red states ever have any emergencies.
