If you nitpick your own suggestions the same way, you’ll find that nuclear weapons were made by Germans in America and that rock music is a rip off of blues which is from Africa, and so on.
All inventions are based on knowledge that comes from somewhere else. It’s the exchange of knowledge that pushes inventions forward. It is very rarely the country of where that person had his or her ass situated at the time of the patent application that caused the invention.
Here are some.

I think AI could have a good tool for specific purposes and also a very lucrative business if only they had not thrown all that money at it.
The extreme investments forced them to roll it out prematurely over a much larger market that it could ever supply in a meaningful way.
They’re trying to force a camel through the eye of a needle.

I keep a professional distance to all my co-workers regardless of age, gender, title or experience.
I don’t even know which is worse; working with people you like or people you don’t. Both have their challenges in time.
I’d definitely stay clear of any clique mentallity. Best to stay assertive with those sorts of people.
Or in sports terms. Don’t get dragged into their drama. They can keep that shit game on their side of the court. You focus on the ball.

You won’t get banned, but Patrick will add you to his list if you scare the normies.

I day dream until I fall asleep, and it takes less than a minute. Doesn’t matter if I just had a coffee, browsing a phone or whatever.
I like to think about designing something. What I’d do on a isolated island, designing the cockpit in a space craft or building a self sufficient homestead. Fiction stuff. Everything is possible. It doesn’t work if I think about actual real life problems.

Yeah BYD will survive, but smaller brands like hiphi, neta, nio, LI auto, etc. There are more than 160 different Chinese brands trying to enter the markets. Most of them will or have already failed in Europe, even if they are active in other countries.
Plenty of new European brands have also failed for the same reasons.

I do see some chinese brands on the road, but not many in comparison to other more established brands.
The thing keeping people away from chinese brands is the uncertainty of future repairs. The “flood” might come in a few years once people have more experience with how it’s handled. Currently, as people get their first EVs, they want to be able to take their VW to the VW shop, not take their BYD to the random no-name mechanic with a BYD sticker on their window.
Everyone is also waiting for the statistics from the EU inspections. Nobody wants a car that can’t pass the inspection in a few years time. Tesla has proven to be a huge failure in that regard, and I think that will scare people away from not only Tesla, but also the unknown chinese brands who yet have to prove themselves.
It also doesn’t help that these smaller brands pop up and go bankrupt in the same year as they scramble to find their markets.
EU brands might not be any better or cheaper, but at least they are better represented locally.
