How to force other car makers to build more reasonable EVs at more reasonable prices is an important question. But the answer isn't "Uyghur labor camps".
Okay fair point. What about regular old prison labour?
You mean prison slavery? That's the US, get on it lol

Not really, and you can thank every president after and including Nixon for that. Specially Nixon and Reagan though.
How reliable do you think those numbers are?
