What if we took the effort devoted to circumventing citizens ability to opt-out of such nonsense communications and instead put it into... I don't know... Any useful, non-punitive endeavor?

Why is making a modest political donation punished by sharing your contact details with an immense network of single-use email distribution lists and ever changing phone numbers that text you asking for money? Good way to prevent any future engagement!

@HeratyIan Oh I just live downtown and hear this constantly from angry drivers who I imagine have Very Important Business to attend to. The horn meant for Someone Who Wronged Them on the road is instead broadcast to thousands of people within a 3 block radius.

If you lay on the horn for more than 5 seconds, your car should be impounded for 30 days with no exceptions. I could be convinced that the threshold is actually 2-3 seconds.

@hvasquez I did the same thing in 2017 when Twitter increased the character limit to 280.

Not that anybody’s asked, but New Years Day on the Gregorian Calendar is a cosmically arbitrary event, carrying no Astronomical significance at all.
