    this is what companies want you to think. it’s like expecting drivers to be sensible so that we can reduce deaths from traffic accidents. it’s not a solution. we have traffic lights, seat belts, all sorts of security systems and regulations on car manufacturers (though not nearly enough).

    consumer protection doesn’t happen by telling everyone to be sensible. regulation is needed.

            You got a better alternative, than pulling down your pants and bending over?

              You think voting in a system built to keep those in power and those like the ones in power isn’t functioning exactly as intended? Are you 12? Grow up.

                Noticed you’re not answering the question…

                  Confirmed 12 years old.

                  The only way to change things is to burn it to the ground and start over. Can’t vote for that, kiddo.

                    literally no one over the age of 12 calls random people online “kiddo”. seems like you’re projecting here.

                    It’s easy to destroy, harder to create.

      though not nearly enough)

      Yes…there’s enough. There’s a reason a new car costs 30k. We don’t need radar, adaptive cruise, and fucking front facing cameras (yes, thats a real thing) standard.

      I just want a heavy duty roll cage, a 200cc engine, and seat belts. All for 2k.

      (The car safety standards are a sore point for me)
