Why can’t Americans buy cheap Chinese electric cars?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:15:06 GMT

By Kyle Stock | BloombergEV variety is easy to find outside the US. Where American drivers now have about 50 electric cars to choose from, Europe’s array is almost double that, and China’s nearly triple. With that variety come more small and midsize options, and more cars with price tags that won’t break the bank.Ask any US automaker and they’ll say this is mainly a profitability problem. To pay for investments in electrification, carmakers are first focusing on trucks, SUVs and other premium models. That same tension is at the center of the United Auto Workers strike, which is pitting factory workers looking to preserve pay and benefits in an EV world against carmakers who say they can’t go electric, meet union demands and stay in the black.A model stands next to the newly launched BYD Atto 3 car during the Auto Expo 2023 in Greater Noida on January 11, 2023.

Kurtenbach: My boldest prediction yet — these 49ers will go 17-0

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:15:06 GMT

SANTA CLARA — I don’t think Christian McCaffrey heard himself say it.The line was a toss-away, a quick cliche amid a post-game press conference the 49ers’ running back wanted to end:“We expect to win every game.”That statement struck me, and it has stuck with me since I walked out of Levi’s Stadium Thursday night.Why can’t the 49ers win every game?It’s probably too early for proclamations like this. I know this is going to anger plenty of Niners fans who think I have hexing powers. But I can’t shake the idea, and I cannot ignore the feeling.So, I’m going to plant the flag right now with the boldest prediction I’ve ever made in this space:The 49ers will go 17-0 this season.And before you ask, yes, I really believe this. I honestly wish I didn’t.Could this go wrong in a million different ways? Of course.Is the modern NFL built for such success? Absolutely not.Is this an aggressive stance after three games, all against o...

Oprah Winfrey has entered the Ozempic chat

By Lisa Respers France | CNNWeight loss drugs are getting a lot of attention these days, and now Oprah Winfrey is weighing in on the topic.While hosting her Oprah Daily’s “The Life You Want Class: The State of Weight,” the mogul said she was “ready for this conversation.”“You all know I’ve been on this journey for most of my life,” Winfrey added.“My highest weight was 237 pounds,” she said. “I don’t know if there is another public person whose weight struggle has been exploited as much as mine over the years.”Talk turned to type 2 diabetes medications Ozempic and Mounjaro, which are also prescribed for weight loss.After an audience member said she lost 100 pounds with the help of Ozempic and that it had aided her “mindset” when it came to food, Winfrey seized on that.“One of the things that I’ve been so ashamed, shamed myself about and was shamed in the tabloids every week for about 25 years is not having the willpower,” said Winfrey, who is also a board member and stock owner with ...

With the House paralyzed, White House prepares for shutdown

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:15:06 GMT

By Josh Boak, Stephen Groves and Lisa Mascaro | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The White House is preparing Friday to direct federal agencies to get ready for a shutdown after House Republicans left town for the weekend with no viable plan to keep the government funded and avert politically and economically costly disruption of federal services.A federal shutdown after Sept. 30 seems all but certain unless Speaker Kevin McCarthy can convince his rebellious hard-right flank of Republicans to allow Congress to approve a temporary funding measure to prevent closures while they work on the annual federal spending plan. But the House is not expected back until Tuesday, leaving just five days to resolve his standoff.“We got members working, and hopefully we’ll be able to move forward on Tuesday to pass these bills,” McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters at the Capitol.McCarthy signaled his preference for avoiding a closure, but a hard-right flank of his House majority has eff...
