You think the maga freaks care what’s legal!? AND traditional “small government, financially conservative” Republicans give them the cover they need to defraud and strip the country for scrap, they are just as complicit. Any true Patriot would have voted to haul them in front of Congress by now (no matter what party), or impeached Trump…

The latter, disabling all connectivity, even emergency, etc. I’m watching it closely, but it hasn’t re-enabled.

To be completely honest, I haven’t gone that extreme yet. I know where the antenna is and could disconnect it fairly easily, but for this particular model it doesn’t seem necessary. I’ve disabled all wireless connectivity (similar to airplane mode) and so far it persists through battery changes. No nags after the first one and no attempts to connect or re-enable wireless functionality, but I’m keeping an eye on it…

Yeah, because they have to account to Republican and Democratic administrations repeatedly. Other than defense spending, which is just allowed to literally not add up…

Brand new 2024 vehicle: I disabled all connectivity. No software updates, no remote start through their app, nothing; it will never connect to the internet. These greedy car and ad companies have lost the benefit of the doubt. Literally no amount of money will ever be enough for these giant corporations…

But seriously, as cool as a Grandma T-Rex would have been, my grandparents were awesome in their own rights. They also saved so many things…

Respectfully, I have to know: was your grandma an actual dinosaur…? Because now I’m jealous.

Well, yeah. It’s the same boomer move: pull the ladder up behind you. Musk and Tesla already benefitted from the programs he now wants to cut, to raise the barrier of entry for potential competitors…

Okay, but lots of people do. Why not both? I’m sure you realize that progress is incremental, we’re not going to jump from here straight to a utopia.

Also, many people don’t have a choice. My job has to be done in-person most of the time, it can’t be done by robots or AI (yet), and I have to bring a large amount of equipment with me. But I would love my work vehicle to be a government-subsidized zero-emissions one!

Thank you! ❤️

Lol can he sue people for not wanting his bad Swasticars?

Not saying every Russian is bad, and they’re obviously victims of lies and propaganda… But still. Don’t they overwhelmingly support the invasion of Ukraine? That’s like if most Americans were fine with us violently murdering, raping, and torturing our bloody way through Canada (please let this not happen)…

I swear, he must have lost a publicist or something right around then. From then on he’s gone completely mask-off…

Would you want to live with him!? Though I guess if you were him, you presumably could have some introspection and choose not be an entitled Nazi asshole…

The US has abandoned Ukraine and is no longer supplying them with weapons to defend themselves from the Russian invasion… ☹️ Can we at least give them beehives?

Uh, you saw what an isolated Russia did when most of the world was against them. Now, western alliances are breaking down and Putin will have his puppets directing the US to complete his every desire. I’m worried about the future of the world.

Yeah sure, this time the giant company won’t enshittify.

Okay, now I’m starting to look forward to the impending Robot Pumkopalypse!

Folks…? I think I fucked up. ☹️ Cool poem, though!

Class action suit when??
