A cooler-sized machine on wheels is absolutely not the threat to accessibility either. Experience of these being rolled out in local authorities is they’re pretty good on that metric, because they create a large commercial demand for dropped kerbs, flat pavements, and unblocked footpaths

I'm enjoying seeing people argue with a can of soup. Feels like an aphorism in action.

Seriously, and I cannot emphasize this enough, fuck this guy. He's a modern day Josef Mengele. Neurodiversity is part of human biodiversity. Autistic traits were evolutionarily selected for. They exist in every population, which means they existed when our ancestors left Africa millennia ago 7/x

When asked about skin colours my little girl will inevitably say 'im black, and dada is pink'.

“Have fun staying poor” is one of the repeated refrains you’ll hear from people doing this stuff. The conditions for collective action require that people believe in positive sum outcomes - and socially we are struggling to make the case that people should care about the greater good.

People believe this. Clients of mine are convinced that wages will *fall* as a result of deportations and the like.

More a warbird surely?

It's very centrist brain isn't it...

But more baffling that they want to do these fiddly, frictional and obviously annoying things

For 3 years... Hardly the biggest deal given new car % of the total stock and you just recoup it then?

Bizarre given MOTs are required to log mileage and this could all be done without anyone noticing... Could even be done as part of the MOT zero friction people would barely notice.

Violence baguettes violence.
