  1.  @Shvabicu  I can't modify a car touchscreen to display the information I want to know about the car. Because it's a literal felony to mess with the car's software. But I can buy an attachment so I can watch Netflix on that same screen while driving. All major Car companies in North America deserve to go out of business.

  2. Unionization is the way to prevent this BS in the workplace.

  3. Your home life sounds toxic. Living with your family in a multi generational household is standard in most of the world and perfectly fine.

  4.  @darkworlddenizen  the Digital Millennium Copyright Act: “trafficking” in tools to remove DRM or even the information needed to make such a tool is a felony, carrying a five-year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine, even if no copyright infringement takes place. For a first offense. That's an American law.

  5.  @duancoviero9759  Which is a literal lie. The chicken tax is the only reasons big stupid trucks even exist in the U.S.

  6. Because it's easier for them to try breaking the law and hope they aren't punished. Offering a quality service at a decent price isn't the kind of talk that gets you higher quarterly profit projections.

  11.  @alexzanderroberts995  but closed source means it would be a felony for you to make their terrible car software better. That way you are stuck paying $500 a visit to have a car dealer technician tell you a $3 sensor is broken. A sensor they will sell you for only $700.

  12.  @csibesz07  Coca cola has an internal recycling program for glass coke bottles. They scrapped that for plastic because creating massive plastic pollution makes more short term profits. They will not willingly go back to their own older model.

  22. When you organize and unionize with your fellow poors. All your lives get collectively better.

  23. Use that on the executive board of the largest corporate conglomerates you can find. That would be more impactful

  24.  @Ushio01  Wrong. Your car companies care more about their own profits than your benefit and always have. Safer cleaner cars are available in other nations. Americans don't get them because of the chicken tax.

  25. Automation in this context is turning the job into Uber. Not machines doing all the work.

  31.  @Bikini_ST  You can't do averages well. Because that average includes the cars the rich buy. Meanwhile China is making 20k EV's that are better than "luxury" cars in the U.S. Americans are all being fleeced for the profits of the rich. While the rest of the world is just making literally better products.

  40.  @daniels2761  consumers want public transit. Car makers do not care what consumers want. The margins are the big 1, 2, and three.

  44. I'm glad the existence of adequate mass public housing is communism. Otherwise I wouldn't get to pay private citizens/corporations for access to basjc shelter. While we have 7 empty homes for every homeless person right now.

  45. There is zero way to automate shipping. Zero.

  46. People can imagine the end of society before they can imagine organizing in a union to fight for more of the wealth their work creates. Young people's only path to retirement is through unionization.

  47. Those costs are an intentional debt trap. Poor people with debt don't challenge the systems exploiting them.

  48. It is impossible to automate shipping. It literally cannot be done.

  49.  @Meeshell007  When you hear automation you think Darpa robots. When the automation that stockyard bosses actually want to use is more if Abode made spyware.

  50. @rnielvhinsieans.elpidama6935  1000% incorrect. Trucks have higher profit margins due to them qualifying as light trucks to avoid clean air regulations. That's why they are marketed. Cars companies don't care what you want, Because they already know people actually want adequate mass public transit.
