Damn, it started well but you went into some really deep prejudice. I’ll take note that Taiwanese are the best ROI for low cost immigrants - apparently much better than Mexicans. How about putting some reins on the real estate and trading m

For reference, 50000lbs is 22 tons. Tesla is now using 6000 and 8000 ton casting machines to build the Model Y and Cybertruck chassis. And they come from Europe again!
