I think you're describing Tesla, I have no idea lacking context. You couldn't pay me to drive Tesla at this point.

It's pretty easy to learn from others. At what cost? I'm not willing to give up privacy. Maybe if there were paid social media services where users aren't the product. I might buy something like that.

It's smart regulation. The article suggests it's in response to consumer demand.

It's mild click bait. They aren't slamming hunger in the nuts, my point is the banana turns brown. It's not "non-browning".

See. I'm a hacker. I need to control things. I bought the car and want access to it.

I agree that NATO is practically dead since USA is now acting on behalf of Russia. It might be easier to remove the MAGAs than rework everything, but in that scenario USA is still untrustworthy and Russia wins. Yikes. Trump has really fucked the entire world and set us in motion toward WWIII ... and we're part of the AXIS. Double yikes.

They slowed the ripening process. It does turn brown, just slower. Clickbait is clickbait.

Windshield wipers, turn signal, heat? I feel like you're being dishonest or just accustomed to the hostility.

Thank fuck. A company actually responds to demand instead of forcing the most profitable solution onto consumers. It's how markets can work if we let them.

They are. There's no need for them. Parents should parent.

There plan that passed the house is to reduce income tax on households that make over $360000 annually. So we're shifting that burden to consumers who spend a much larger percentage of their income on the goods subject to tariffs? And why tariff our good allies instead of enemies?

Trump was heavily in debt before elected president. He's scammed his way out and is now rich from being president. Him an his billionaire lackeys run the country by edict. They are the swamp.

Trump is the status quo. Nothing makes sense unless you consume their echo chamber.

Russia has invested in the downfall of the west since long before most people on this earth were born.

Upsetting our friends is to be applauded? While we cozy up to Russia?

The actions of Donald Trump align USA with Russia over our allies. We recently stopped sharing intel with Ukraine, stopped aid to Ukraine, threatened to withdraw from NATO, insisted Ukraine sign a peace deal giving Russia annexed land, called Zelinski a dictator, etc, you can go on endlessly.

Why are we attacking our allies like this? What have Mexico and Canada done? Or Greenland, Panama, the EU? Why are we aligned with Russia over our allies? Who benefits from this?
