I am mad at the society. For you to pretend there’s no difference between a $3500 used car and the Bezos Boat is irrational and a false equivalency.  I also don't have the ability to single-handedly change anything whereas Bezos does.

You should be ashamed of yourself for your take. just because we can doesn’t mean we should. Nothing about the Bezos Boat is groundbreaking or amazing in any meaningful way. It’s just a clumsy use of unlimited funds.

The mega yacht industry should not exist because the reasons it exists sre unethical.  Billionaires shouldn't exist at all. It's a whole different level of power and finance that requires the immoral abuse of labor.

because a Republcan Trump appointee is runnng the USPS and everything is broken and awful in the hellscape known as the United States.

It's irrelevant anyway.  AC doesn't hurt fuel economy like it did in 1980s cars.

It’s totally relevant. Mostly because you’re so upset about it. <3

A tall order such as building an interstate highway system across a whole continent with federal socialist spending?

That's not true.  Economy of scale should make it easier, actually.   But our government is run by lobbyist money. Especially Republicans.

Good job not reading the article at all.

California does not experience “regular” rolling blackouts. There's no reason for you to lie in order to make your point.

Countercounterpoint:  Loud bike exhausts blasting between cars is super obnoxious.  it isn't a small minority who behave badly,  either.

If only motorcyclists weren’t raging douchebags about lanesplitting.

How does the title suggest it’s a black comedy? Honestly curious.

Billionaires are 100% immoral.   Deal with it.

RE: #12 EVs/Everything... They're still cars with suspension, powertrains, interiors, complex electronics and even coolant pumps.   There's less to break but it's still a car you will have to take care of, unless you're one of those people who buys a new car every 3 years.

You want a warranty but you think you should be able to freely abuse the car?  Okay, Jason.  I'm 100% anti-Tesla, too.  They're a terrible company and their cars suck.   That said, there's plenty to bitch them out for other than a longevity feature that won't turn on unless you're being a raging idiot with your seat.

Wow, this whole post is a dumpster fire of luddite Internet driver whining. Nobody wants to buy a brown manual trans hatchback with no power assist options and no safety features. Every time anyone builds a car remotely like that, you people never buy enough of them.

Coke kills way less people than alcohol. *shrug*

Or maybe it isn't legal because it isn't safe,  as per the law.

Or you could just shut up and let people drive the speed limit?
