In the list of the top ten most likely places for violent crime to occur in the US, gas stations and convenience stores are 3rd or 4th depending on the year. Not so random.

Musk claimed the Cybertruck is better than any other truck but also more of a sports car than any other sports car, made of a "special Tesla designed steel alloy" that he claimed will never rust and which cannot be stamped but which can also be produced in volume.
The skepticism is coming through very heavy and I’m all for it.
Musk implied that in a crash with another vehicle, the Cybertruck—which weighs 6,603–6,843 lbs (2,995–3,104 kg)—will destroy the other vehicle.
It’s a car, not a battlebot. Nobody should want to destroy the other vehicle in the event of a crash.
You’re right about the undue search and seizure. For me, it isn’t the politicians I fear in this hypothetical scenario. I fear the corporations and police that would be the case-by-case adjudicators.
This is a weird take to me. One of the groups is not like the other two in your own example. It is obvious that there is a huge wealth gap driven by unregulated capitalism which is contributing to the problem, and multiple studies have shown that homeless people that receive free money (i.e. a universal basic income) use that money to stop being homeless.
Now please create one that’s designed to eat carbon dioxide and methane
In America the segment for small pickups is larger than you think and cars are overpriced right now which makes a brand new car you can import for less than 15k mind-boggling. Additionally, the barebones nature of the car is appealing for its low-tech nature. Add that it’s a Toyota, known for reliability.
Maybe you don’t see it as a desirable car because it isn’t to your tastes, but the world doesn’t revolve around you.
From another news story posted here yesterday or the day before: vent hoods are not strong enough to get all the contaminants.
Not driving cuts down on car exhaust. That isn’t bullshit, it’s a no-brainer.
I remember seeing this argument about billionaires and corporations leaving the US if they are taxed fairly at a national level. If that were the case then 1. The US wouldn’t lose out on revenue it wasn’t losing out on already, and 2. The “free market” or the government would adapt to fill the abandoned niche.
