Episode 19: It's Not WWII Anymore But Mitsubishi Is Still A Zero

Hello and welcome to episode 19 of Tran Girlismo! On this episode, the girls briefly recap Jordan's trip to New York (DA KNICKS BABEEEEEY, congrats to the NY dolls in the audience). Then we get into the meat of the American Century of Humiliation: Cox Automotive has new data on the used EV market, and Experian has new data on the new EV market, and we're fucked, baby. Then we discuss Mitsubishi, which has humiliated itself anew with the Nissan Leaf II, aka another miserable chapter in the continued degradation of the Eclipse name. Then we discuss the miserable state of the racing game market as Victoria tries to find her own BDS-compliant Forza Horizon replacement. Finally, Jordan regales her Amtrak experiences.

A special note from our host Victoria Scott: Please read Lenin before you yell at me on Bluesky. The referenced piece on revolutionary defeatism is literally like just a few thousand words. The Defeat of One's Own Government in the Imperialist War @Marxists.org

As always our opening theme is off of Stella Spazzatura's Horse Tranquilizer Simulator!
