Biden signs law forcing all vehicles made 2026 and later to come with a "killswitch" preinstalled.
As well as surveillance monitoring for drivers to detect "abnormal driving" habits.
Potential for remote flaws is concerning.

"Jaywalking" as a crime was invented by car companies in the 20s, to shift blame to people on foot for being hit by cars. "Littering" was invented in the 50s by paper cup and tin can manufacturers to shift blame to people who drop trash. The phrase "personal carbon footprint" came from a BP marketing campaign intended to shift blame for climate change away from petrochemical companies to individuals.
When they call themselves "the party of personal responsibility"?
This is what that means.
Every time someone complains about Biden’s taxes I want to pry their eyes open Clockwork Orange style and force them to read the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Net taxes were higher for people making under $20k right from the start. It was also intended that income taxes start increasing again in 2021 for people making $40k+. It’s right there in the fucking law. In fact, if Congress doesn’t do anything the income tax cuts will expire completely in 2025.
Only the corporate tax cuts were meant to be permanent. Income taxes will continue to rise in order to offset the deficit increase brought by the 2017 law, and it will primarily impact those making less than $75k.
I don’t even like Biden. His only job as far as I’m concerned was to get Trump out, then sit on his hands for 4 years while we figure shit out. However, anyone who thinks Republicans stand for ‘small government’ and working Americans clearly has not been paying attention.
Rich people bickering about copyright and NFTs. A pissing contest among the wealthy to determine who deserves to extract money from the general population. Who could have foreseen this shocking turn of events?
I always forget the #qoto default theme is light. Logged in from ungoogled chromium on my phone where I can’t have the dark reader extension and thought something was wrong for a second…
