Because I'm a "car guy" and each vehicle is in a different niche. I've got a Miata (RWD, for autocross), a WRX (AWD, for rallycross), a 4Runner (4x4, for off-road trails), etc.
Some of them are currently non-running project cars, and almost none of them are practical. (Perhaps ironically, my "daily driver" is actually a cargo e-bike.)
Also, I'm sentimental and bad at getting rid of them, even if I probably should.
From my perspective, a 2006 is still a pretty new car. (Most of mine are from the '90s.)
They are doing something about it: they're building bunkers, killbots, and a totalitarian panopticon.
The question is, what are we doing to defend ourselves?
It’s like he knew the game would be a pile of shit and decided to lean into it.
The people in charge of the game knew it too, since they deliberately used that take!
No they don't. Lots of (D)s, and even the occasional (I) like Bernie Sanders, are less authoritarian than pretty much every single (R) is these days.
If they want less authoritarianism, yes!
Or better yet, somebody who calls themselves "socialist" or "progressive," because at least they tend to be decent on civil rights, if not necessarily stuff like economic policy. It's ridiculous, but Bernie Sanders is one of the most actually-libertarian people in Congress.
If some of the "progressives" could give up on some of their overly-bureaucratic ideas with excessive means-testing (like welfare instead of UBI, "affordable" [i.e. "subsidized"] housing instead of zoning reform to reduce costs, etc.) they'd be perfect actual-libertarian candidates.
Or better yet, skip threatening and act against them.
Don't forget COVID.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.
My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
I mean, "bunker" gets the idea across, but it's kinda underselling it. Ellison and Zuckerberg own nearly the entire island of Kauai, HI between them -- the whole island is the bunker, with a 72-mile-wide moat between it and most of Hawaii's population.
