The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the 'conservative' movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.

Of course, the revenge driven justice system is not looking for the most humane way to kill someone. The cruelty is the point.

As the article notes; the world at large greatly underestimates the consequences of a move from Xi. I would say the prospect of the Taiwanese blowing up their factories instead of bowing to the will of Bejing is not really that far fetched. But perhaps I'm wrong, and would Taiwan also have many people with the same soft spine that many in the west are showing when it comes down to weaning off our reliance on fossil fuels.

Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.

It's only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.

Thank you for this! Very poetically written and so very true.

Posing the question is answering it; because the quality is so-so. These things require regular maintenance and after 25 years, there's a change that the 5th owner didn't care that much.

True, but that you can also largely influence by defensive driving. When I rode 80 tkm a year for 15 years I’ve literally seen everything but was never part of it.

Of course, the biggest security feature is sitting in the drivers seat.

Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.

Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.
