<p>Exactly. Said it before and I'll say it again.<p>I do not want to be the 'manager of my car'. That'd be a downgrade from being an actual driver.<p>Lane Assist, auto-stop-start, cruise control are enough for me and have been available mostly for decades and require a similar amount of attention.<p>FSD is a busted flush and I can't believe those who got conned by it aren't more vocal.</p>

<p>We do what we can, where we can, when we can.<p>Personally, I find it's less about the act (although financially depriving companies of my cash does make me feel good), it's about the conversation the act starts.<p>And I've seen it work, or help. Some among us will remember the boycott of South African goods during Apartheid.</p>

<p>I find it more effective to say, I'm avoiding product X for Y reason.<p>This starts a conversation more effectively with contacts rather than go full large company avoidance which is difficult for people to imagine, let alone act on.<p>I sympathise with what you're saying though.</p>

<p>I'm not insisting on anything.<p>I'm fully conscious of tectonic plates shifting and creating huge change and the need for response. But, again, none of what we've seen the current admin engaged in has been inevitable.<p>And no, comparing to Biden will not do here. I couldn't care less really about which side is in power (except when there is significant spillover like now). I'm outside of the USA. But I have never seen anything so ridiculous as the current "strategic" choices of the current admin.</p>

<p>As someone outside of the USA, and who visited for some time a couple of decades ago and bathed in it's relative freedoms ... reading the discussion here and some of the comments almost makes me weep...<p>You're already living on the doorstep of fascism. Contemplating the right-thing-wrong-think of it all dressed up as legal debate. A discussion and debate you'll likely never fully and truly conclude for obvious reasons.</p>
