  • Overbooking, essentially breaking the contract, and having the police beat a nonviolent doctor unconscious is big money fucking that individual over and the government is complicit. If you think that only voting is going to bring about all the change that would be needed to stop that behavior, please look at the bigger picture.

    A 5 gallon bucket can carry 5 gallons of water. It is also capable of carrying 5 gallons of bleach. Just because those two things are true it does not mean bleach == water. I didn’t mention those idiots.

    Just to be clear to anyone reading this, please vote. Please vote in your local elections. I just don’t think voting alone is going to change violent behavior from big corps. History has shown us how fast companies can take power, and how they can rival or exceed the cruelty of Nazi Germany, look at many of the large trading companies back in the day. They did horrific, horrific shit. Look at all the examples of the terrible shit companies pull today. Companies have committed genocides, we just remember them differently than the Nazis because they lost the war and all their PR people. But companies have more PR people than ever.

    Just like “backlash” for United beating that doctor didn’t change shit, you can vote, but United will pay the politicians.

    So yeah I stand by that comment, and its relevance to the comment thread something else is needed to change the course, but we still need to keep voting.






  • That second factor is not really a factor. The windshield wipers on my 20 year old truck have never stopped working, just replace the wipers every once in a while.

    If you can’t see that you are not departing your lane on your own, the you are not capable of driving, and you drivers licence should be revoked.

    Teslas are not autonomous, if you can’t drive, you shouldn’t be driving. I’m all for self driving, most people drive like shit with 30 distractions going at the same time, but until they are actually autonomous, the person driving still has to drive. If they can not tell that they are departing or not departing a lane by themselves, they should not be allowed to drive period.
