Meanwhile Renault will be producing the 5 (upcoming small EV) in France for a pretty low price considering modern car (and especially EV) pricing. It’s even got a reasonable range.
My point bringing that up is… if this happens, it’s because VW is being greedy and seeks to outsource labour – likely to Asia. It’s not because it’s a necessary move to make their business viable.
I’ve always liked VAG cars, shit I currently have one, but they’ve been making such massive missteps for years now.
They’re looking for subsidies it seems, they’re getting some pretty generous benefits from the Canadian government so might as well take advantage of it.
Have driven VAG cars for most of my driving life (25 years out of 27) and have always found something that suited my life at the time. I’m currently driving an Arteon Shooting Brake, but that’s no longer made and the iD range is just dull, dull, dull. The Audi EVs are priced so high they’re ridiculous, and the Cupras are just not different enough from the iDs… I’m hoping the Skoda concepts come to fruition, but they’ll most likely be dulled down and not as cool as they look now (the Epiq looks neat)… We shall see. But it may be time to move on.
I might be getting old, but I don’t want a dull car, thanks!
There’s nothing wrong with leaving thousands jobless? Pulling out of an area and community that’s contributed so much to your success? Moving more and more operations to a country that practices genocide?

ah yes this is it. They just threaten politics, so big corps get money again from governments to stay.
Username does not check out! Not at all! What have the Wormhole-beings done to you Nagus?!

Greed is not optional under capitalism.
There is nothing morally wrong with outsourcing.

I think we have very different views on morality.
The net number of jobs does not change. They are not eliminating jobs, they are moving them. The same number of people are employed.
Spoken like a corporate apologist.
That’s not necessarily true at all. Companies downsize virtually all the time when they move.
And it’s not even what I said anyway, you’re putting words in my mouth. I said leaving thousands jobless. Do you understand?
And just glossing over the genocide part, eh? I’ll ask you directly: is genocide bad, good, or neither?
It also creates new jobs for thousands of other people. Why do you hate those people?
Address my comment then I might consider answering subsequent questions from you.

You are just a racist. It offends you that people in the developing world are getting jobs.
Ah yes. Being against companies fucking over their workers is racist. 🙄
What an absolute clown take.
Elaborate.
