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.
where did you get "don't go outside" from?
neither statement is true. we just talked about this.
And how are you going to convince, let's see, something like 130 million people to just go along with that plan?
Do you actually want change or are you just bitching?

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

It's easy to destroy, harder to create.
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)
