Hey #USA,

This is what happens in a proper country when people are implicated in the #Epstien document. People with honor and a conscience step down (or are removed #Andew). You don't try to bury it. Also the citizens won't stand of it if they do try.

US Car Manufacturers are still retreating from #electrification.
To me it appears they have lost any right to complain about 49,000 Chinese EVs coming into Canada.

At least in this case the change of ownership should not hurt at all. LG is the brains and technology here.
