I think in this case it all boils down to old boys being allowed to do what they want. So bizarre.

You should be allowed to stand your ground and shoot dead anyone rolling coal. They're assaulting you and everyone around you.
So if I want to hack my printer in order to use whatever ink I want, I committed a crime, but if I want to be a total asshole who hurts the environment with a pointless display of small-dickery, I'm protected. Awesome, golden age of America indeed.
How are we ever supposed to be proud of this shit hole again? I'll have been dead for 200 years before there's even hope of recovery from Trump's legacy, and that's if I'm being optimistic.
Rolling coal never stopped
Probably doesn't help that it's the kinda dudes who befriend cops that do it consistently
That's half of them. The other half, the cops are afraid to pull them over so they also get away with it.
Hopefully that also means I can hack my own car too.
LOL, no. Violating government regulations to harm the environment and society is fine, but violating corporate monopoly privilege to wrest back control of your property makes you scum to be shot on sight.
(Disclaimer: my cynicism should not be mistaken for informed legal analysis.)
I didn't mean to fix my car! That's ludicrous! I mean hack my own car so I can pollute more! I don't even want to go fast, no. I just want to drive around with a big black plume of smoke behind me covering everything and everyone in cancerous spot. I wanna see old ladies swath their faces and cough...wait hold on what was the question? I sense that....oh I can!!! Great!!!
