It requires a better class of criminal to steal a car with key fob ignition.
You used to be able to steal a car with a screwdriver. Literally crack open the steering column cover, jamb it in and wiggle in the right place.

Actually, replaced by Dr. Teeth in this case.
The ride will be themed to the band with Scooter as their manager.
Basically the same storyline, but with more animatronic muppets.

It's honestly too easy and dismissive to just call them morons because you disagree with them.
When the truth is they are all well educated, informed, and capable. They are willfully making these decisions, willfully causing harm, and willfully being greedy and selfish.

The $100 was just to get on the initial waiting list. When you actually legally contracted to buy the vehicle, you had to have your financing lined up with a substantial deposit and a clause you couldn't back out or resell it within one year.

For that, I really like Star Wars original take of displays being lighted panes of glass with graphics printed on them and dry erase markers.

Cyber trucks had a huge backorder that were all paid upfront with no backing out. I see them regularly.
Personally, I want an F150 Lightning eventually, but I have yet to see one on the road.

Tesla is a data company. Their goal is to get these devices into your life, collect every possible shred of data, and then sell that continuous stream of data for top dollar.
Their cars are already doing that.

What should be added is that the finance companies aren't allowed to soon profits and fees off of the investment of your HSA balance.
That's why they are pushing for this and the privatization of social security. More investments means more profits for them.

You mean the bipartisan committee hearings where half the people subpoenaed refused to even appear and absolutely nothing happened to them? And one of the key suspects was on the committee?

Fortunately, there are checks in place between the president and the actual launch systems. I don't think the military would actually carry out an illegal or unjustified launch. They all have families too.
Now, escalating the war in Ukraine until Putin feels pushed into a corner? Yes.

-Directed Congress to pass laws to close all the loopholes that Trump manipulated.
- Passed legislation to strengthen checks and balances and limit executive power.
- Passed term limits and campaign finance reform.

We wouldn't have our current issues if Biden had:
- told Congress to open an investigation into Jan 6, including their own members who supported it.
- appointed a Special Prosecutor with an unlimited mandate
- expanded the Supreme Court when he had every opportunity.

Under the Rainbow was hilarious! At least as a little kid. Haven't watched it in over 30 years.
All the little people from the Wizard of Oz get drunk and take over the hotel they're staying in during filming.
Every modern little person except Peter Dinklage would jump to remake it.

Everything they are doing is a violation. Need to be more lawsuits.

We have a representative political system because people can't be fully informed about every bill that goes through the system. (Our politicians and their staff can barely do it really.)
And people aren't rational. Most decisions are emotionally driven and justified with reason afterward.

Not really the nerds. Tech Bros are business and marketing people who read which way the wind blows and idolize Steve Jobs. And just like Jobs, they are selling the work of better tech people (like Wozniak).
The real nerds are always answering to the charasmatic C students.

Libertarianism looks great on paper, until you realize that it depends completely on everyone involved being fully informed and acting 100% rationally. Two conditions that are just not possible for the vast majority of humanity.

1. Vinal wraps aren't meant to go on to bare metal. The adhesive destroys the finish on the metal. So every wrap is lowering the vehicles value.
2. The towing/load capacity is crap because they are already so heavy from the weight of the batteries.
3. Ground clearance is really bad for a truck

From what I understand of how the brain actually works, it's pretty much an impossible task. Every brain structure is extremely unique. Billions of neurons interacting in specific patterns unique to each individual. Like solving the ultimate encoding with no decryption key.
