Reducing your carbon footprint to own the libs

Not feeling owned enough. Maybe some install some solar.

I was expecting this car to open a Pandora’s box in the auto industry and force tighter regulation of safety standards. Considering how this thing violates the 100 year long gentleman’s agreement of companies improving safety on their own.

He's...fuckin weird, man.
Nobody understands whatever the fuck he's trying to say.

I agree that it's the right thing to do but it would probably be costly and widely unpopular to increase safety standards on the road. It's not worth it to miss out on combating the rise of fascism by losing elections after implementing long-term improvements that enrage people in the short term.
