  1. What still boggles my mind is how do EV's pass safety compliance without having 100% mechanical door releases to ensure people can escape the vehicle in an emergency.

  2. Same with the BS in Australia. All new cars have the 'safety features' enabled by default, they can't be turned off. When you start the car, you can disable some of them but if the car thinks it needs the feature, it'll automatically re-enable the feature itself, so its never truly off. Also, the stupid SOS BS can't be disabled, that means that the cars location and audio is being monitored by the regime (sorry... govt) who monitor the SOS function. I don't want to be tracked and monitored, I want to be able to leave my phone in a Faraday bag (or leave it at home), go for a drive and not be tracked or monitored - I refuse to live in a dystopia. All this BS is exactly why I love my 11yr old car that has none of this junk in it. The best solution is for everyone to simply drive historic vehicles or revert back to horses for 'environmental' reasons. Regarding the whole EV BS, they don't want you going anywhere, nor do they want you to have an EV. If you look, you can get a grid-tied battery easier than you can an EV. This is all 15-minute cities - idiots will deny it but the key point of 15-minute cities according to the nutcase who created the idea, is that people aren't allowed to leave their 15-minute city because there is "no legitimate public purpose to do so" and that "only where the state permits, can an individual get a permit to travel to another 15-minute city".

  3. The reason so many people tell people that they'll 'regret leaving', that they're [insert literally anything bad / evil], or that they're trying to 'tax dodge', is because 99% of people are braindead sheep that run on 'crab-pot mentality'. Basically because they're too scared and cowardly to leave, so they project that onto everyone around them, because, 'if I'm going down with the ship, why shouldn't they'. Its like 'sunk cost fallacy' - they can't admit they're wrong because they've wasted too much money. We see the same BS with the morons who try to claim that we 'owe' society and the country because we 'benefited' from it - completely ignoring the fact that many of us had to pay for 100% of everything we wanted and haven't ever seen a single cent of our taxes back in any manner because the family is too well off and in the top tax bracket. Education, medical, living, recreations / hobbies, all pay to play unless you're completely broke and qualify for 'welfare'. Many of us have actually been hurt by the 'welfare' through numerous new levies (taxes under a different name), increases in taxes, and by being unable to leave the country because 'how dare people leave'. By not being permitted to leave, I'm missing out on many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, missing out on finding a wife (none that are suitable are in the rathole of a country I'm stuck in), and being set-back financially by having to stay where I am. What's keeping me stuck... professional licence audits, licence audits, and jury duty - so far three times in four years! The country I'm stuck in - the 3rd world shithole that is Australiastan - a commie failed state that uses everything possible to stop engineers, scientists and doctors from leaving - first it was the plandemic travel ban, then licence audits and jury duty. I don't even know if I'll be able to legally leave before 2030 at the rate the scum are keeping me stuck here.

  4. @SurvivalLilly It's to justify banning having a garden, a veggie patch and to justify locking everyone inside of 15-minute cities. Like the districts in The Hunger Games. Just ignore the lies from the powers that be.

  5. A US passport lets you work in one country only. That's hardly a great country. A UK or Irish passport lets you work in two countries, as does an AU/NZ passport. An OECS passport (from one of the 'full member' countries) lets you work in 7 countries and and EU (Schengen) passport lets you work in 29 (and growing) countries. Oh and when I say work, I also mean that you have full rights as if you're a permanent resident. What exactly does a US passport get you as far as a capitalist / nomad is concerned? Being limited to one country is very restrictive, especially since the USA along with CANZUK and CUNA are all collapsing and likely won't survive the collapse as the debt will still have to be paid.
