  • Its carved in stone proof of the dissolution of hte social contract.

    Companies and business owners used to take care of you, because they were incentivized to do so thanks to massive taxes on wealth. So the rich would take care of their workers, invest in the social good (libraries, hospitals, etc), and put that money to use, to avoid the taxes on it.

    But then the right came along with their idea of pissing on everyone “trickle down economics”, and got rid of the high taxes on the wealthy, and the wealthy puckered up tighter than a snare drum and the flow of money downward stopped, and they all became dragons siting on vast hordes doing nothing of importance.








  • Then you’re an idiot.

    because that information is gonna end up in the same markets as the information from anywhere else, and its going to fuck you over in the long term.

    You’re too obsessed with government jackboots coming to your door to even consider your car and health insurance premiums skyrocketing at best, or getting dropped at worst, because your driving data was sold to them and they decided you were too much a risk despite a clean driving record.

    and thats only a small example of what can be done with this data. it could affect a lot more as companies try to analyze you and your actions and catagorize you. or even better, explode your phone with advertising with every store you’re driving past.


  • yes, but a lot of that overcomplication is for safety at least.

    you’re much more likely to survive a big car crash in a car from today, then are you are from a car 60 years ago.

    Also less likely to lose traction on wet roads and skid off than you were half a century ago.

    that isnt meant to say everythings sunshine and roses, like all that equipment that enables spyware bullshit they gather on you and sell to insurance companies and marketers.

    the problem is the cars have stopped being a product, and have become a medium to turn you into the product. Which is becoming a problem across many industries and the items they wish you to own.
