The point of cars is the manliness of danger haven’t you ever seen fast and the furious?
1980s anti-seatbelt News segment: There’s no freedom no more
Safety regulations, gun laws, and masks mandates: “This is an outrage! I am a libertarian. Get big brother out of our lives!”
Invasion of privacy, inescapable surveillance networks that use live facial recognition technology, and a giant Palantir database that will contain every individual’s data and connections to friends, family, and acquaintances with zero oversight or regulations to keep track of who uses it or how it’s used (bc “libertarian”): “Stop being so paranoid. If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to fear.”
yeah, whatever. doesn’t affect me too much.

Strap Rafael Cruz to the bumper and run another test.
