Every parent of a teenager needs to know this. Most don't. You can fix that here: https://t.co/32AxxVbx2J

It's almost hard for me to believe that Americans are putting up with this. Old cars just went up in value.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

Rental car is new, expensive, and utterly undriveable.
Main problem is the aggressive notification to take a break with a coffee emoji and five loud beeps. It is triggered if you drive too close to the line or veer even slightly outside the perfect center, like threading a needle constantly.
So it screams at you for even the slightest venial sin -- providing more moral exhortations than a puritan preacher in 17th century Plymouth. This happened every ten minutes or so on a 2.5 hour drive. Makes one insane. If I drank all the coffee they had suggested, I would have been hospitalized.
Meanwhile anything you want to do -- turn on the radio, change the temp, change the station whatever -- comes with a text warning not to be distracted and a terms of use approval, as if this is not distracting in itself. I'm certain the rental is somehow linked to the Internet so you get the sense that you are not driving at all. Paradoxically, it all feels extremely unsafe and it is impossible to relax. Horrid!
The one time someone snuck into my blindspot going 80 -- now way to see this because this SUV has the outward visibility of a tank -- the magic seeing eyes did not notice. It is more interesting in correcting that helping me. What a miserable experience.
It's odd because the US went all in with cars after WW2 at the expense of passenger trains on grounds that cars offer individual freedom. These new cars do NOT offer individual freedom. They are hectoring, surveilling, prisons on wheels. By constantly registering distrust in you as the driver, they deprecate volition and hence make driving less safe than ever.

The State has no natural right to catalog the daily movements of peaceful people.

Its only legitimate role is to answer to the people it claims to serve.

Flock cameras don’t make government more accountable—they make citizens more accountable to government. That’s exactly backwards.

@rothbard_celine @ThomasEWoods Traveling the world is WAY cheaper than attending college in the U.S. I know because I've done both. 🙂

What worked for you, your parents, and your grandparents may not (and probably won't) work for your kids. The world is different now. It's time we all admit that and move forward. https://t.co/2iIrnPKDGd

"As I raced for that Wall, with the bomb in my hand, I noticed that every last Yook in our land was obeying our Chief Yookeroo's grim command." It's shocking how many Americans do the same.

Today's mainstream narrative is as absurd as Dr. Seuss: "They were all bravely marching, with banners aflutter, down a hole! For their country! And Right-Side-Up Butter!"

[Amy Ruth Curtis @consciouslyamy]

Anyone who believes you "liberate" a country by bombing its civilians is too gullible to argue with.

[Amy Ruth Curtis @consciouslyamy]

The U.S. government violates the human rights of its citizens daily. They have no moral leg to stand on.

@theandyjang @TRHLofficial What the IRS collects is not spent on government services anyway. 100% of it pays for interest (to private banks) on the federal debt. The income tax does not need to be replaced. It needs to be abolished. Anything else is debt slavery.

Grant that Marx and Mamdani are correct: eliminating capital might eradicate a certain kind of corruption with which capital is associated. In the same way, you can get rid of bad novels by eliminating literacy and ugly art by banning painting.
