Nice, a reasonable reply! I'll bite.

So what seemed to be lost on people was that I'm not defending BMW in any way, but rather pointing out that there mere act of owning a car automatically signs you up for a number of subscriptions, notably: registration, insurance, and energy (gas or electric), but we've conditioned ourselves to thinking that somehow those aren't a subscription which is a delineation without a difference.

I cancelled my subscriptions btw, fuck cars.

I now primarily use the most superior form of transportation ever conceived: my feet.
