@PatrickHeizer This isn't all elderly holdouts being obstinate. Our whole society requires cars for people to live independently. Dive a little deeper than the surface appearance and I'm sure we'll find people afraid they'll be nothing without their cars.

@GaryMarcus So exhausted by people like this guy. Remember when getting caught being a duplicitous person online meant some backtracking? Not anymore. Why even bother lying in the first place?

@longstoryfarms People are weird and price is one place that weirdness is highly apparent. Look at all the shit corporations get away with by hiring behavioral psychologists to price their products.

@TheLastFarm You're using the old usage of the word. The way they use it now just means enemy.

@9mmballpoint Attention as commodity as wealth as qualification. Just a new vehicle traveling the old capitalist path to outsized influence.

@rfhirschfeld Same shit bags out there dismantling every part of the EPA in the way of the profit engines eating the earth like locusts now want to talk about respecting frameworks.

@RobertMackey Yeah, but you can't make pandering posts about a thing like that with all your facts and such.

@smithhmesteadms I was thinking about making a watermelon-o-lantern yesterday. But wanting the cold snap isn't the same as having it.

We just added 100 more Texas agencies using Flock Safety automated license plate readers to the Atlas of Surveillance. As police tech spreads, you can count on EFF to track it and fight for your rights.

@LundThomad @RadioGenoa You really need to look around more often.

@Econ_Marshall They're always happy to send other peoples kids to the trades, but not their own children... why is that?
