Your last point should be first. Europe (and the UK) are reducing their carbon output but our success is dwarfed by the increase in co2 output by China and India. The US has also made no effort to reduce emissions but because industry there is declining it hasn’t increased for a few years. We need to apply a carbon tax to imports from those countries.

Looks like I’ve found another victim of the American education system.

Literacy rates must be at rock bottom there.

I totally believe you. The American education system really is fucked isn’t it.

Don’t make excuses, try harder.

This makes sense. People with enough wealth to be worth taxing can afford the financial and legal vehicles to ensure their wealth in California is non taxable, for example by registering in a state without said taxes. It’s actually a problem they have in the UK where there are some low tax jurisdictions like Barbados.

Your gonna look really stupid when you find out it has built in telemetry.

That’s my point, I don’t think there are currently any companies in the US, outside of defense contractors, that produce a module. It is impossible to comply with the law.

Unfortunately people these days insist on being able to connect their phone to the car and use sat-nav, basically a car without that is almost unsellable in the current market. They could probably swap out the module with Chinese chips with one made in USA… If anyone even produces one?

Edit, I can’t reply to all of you dumb fucks telling me what we already know about connecting a phone to a car. 1) GPS enabled sat-nav with live traffic updates does require an internet connection. And 2) I don’t think Americans really understand how thoroughly your government has fucked you over; the restriction on domestic wireless communication doesn’t need an internet connection, it applies to any wireless communication even if theoretically it cannot be connected to the internet (don’t believe me, read the law).

Having registered plenty of domains I can tell you that it needs a valid address but that address can be some random kebab shop the other side of the country, they don’t care.

Same (Zen for me though)

It’s a basic premise of European and EU legal systems that you cannot use a contract to subvert national or international law. I guess the difficulty is who exactly enforces the existing laws that are supposed to guard against consumers getting ripped off.

Can you read?

They have all been charged, I believe the mother has been found guilty and is due to be sentenced soon and the father and brother are in jail awaiting trial.

Well, since it is for defense, it is supply chain security.

…and in my book that’s a legitimate reason.

As someone who has never been to Texas, I associate Texas with unrelenting sun and vast tracts of uninhabitable land with little or no environmental value (ok that bit is hyperbole, I know deserts are in fact a delicate ecosystem but you get the idea).

Or in other words, perfect solar panel real estate.

So what’s stopping them taking advantage of all the almost free energy!
