Tesla pauses German production after Red Sea shipping attacks

The electric car manufacturer Tesla is to halt most production at its factory near Berlin for two weeks because of delays in deliveries of parts because of attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

Shipping delays in the Red Sea, caused by attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, has caused Tesla to suspend most production at its German factory from 29 January to 11 February.

The carmaker, whose chief executive is Elon Musk, has said the pause could lead to about 5,000 to 7,000 cars not being built.

Disruption through the important shipping route to the Mediterranean, which has forced companies to use the alternative and much longer route around the southern tip of Africa, is starting to affect global trade, which dropped 1.3% in December.

What ever will the bourgeois whites do without their (faulty) status symbols?! Maybe some of them could get behind land back movements.

Honestly the way this is all being depicted as “some rebels disrupting the global economy” … can I join the rebels? The global economy is a fucked, exploitative, and doomed to failure (for the ecology of the planet).

What did Star Wars teach us about the empire?
