    Can't remember who posted the meme, but the essence was "police side with fascism because fascism sides with capital".
    One assumes it applies to rightist vigilantes as well.
    This is exactly how 1920's unions got pushed into the corner of needing mafia muscle.

    I fucking hate new cars. Auto theft is on the rise because all this keyless shit actually makes it easier for thieves to steal them. And the automakers don't care one bit.

    I also remember a time when I could swap out a faulty starter and do an oil change myself. Now you need a computer and mechanical engineering degree just to open the hood.

    Yes, I'm old. :sigh:

    Never owned one.

    My father was a Ford Dealer and I sold them at another dealership.

    Always go Program. 3/4 of the time a rental car is used by a businessperson to get from the airport to their hotel, to an office park and then back to airport. Very low mileage and all professionally maintained.

    They don’t want us to be able to actually work on our cars ourselves, they want to own every aspect of our lives. Same with phones, computers and other aspects of our lives.

    Question. If you had to guess the party affiliation of Right to Repair law sponsors, which would you guess?

    This is where FF pretends he doesn't support a certain party and they're all in cahoots, whilst tonguing that party's clit.

    I don’t like Trump, Biden is just a senile old man!!


    As part of a wide-ranging initiative to boost competition, President Joe Biden has made ensuring people can repair their own products a priority.

    Last month, Biden said in too many cases "if you own a product, from a smartphone to a tractor, you don’t have the freedom to choose how or where to repair that item you purchased."

    Rush's bill would require all tools and equipment, wireless transmission of repair and diagnostic data and access to on-board diagnostic systems needed for repairs be made available to the independent repair industry.

    If FF is actually capable of producing microprocessors in his garage, I'll take his "they won't let us make our own computers!!!" shit seriously.

    Some shit needs specialists.

    If any old cunt could make a fission reactor, we'd have a dead planet.

    Wrong.

    And idiotic.

    And weaslely as fuck as usual.

    There are no Libertarians elected to Federal office and less than half of half a dozen elected to State office.

    It is impossible for Libertarians to be the largest sponsors of Right to Repair laws.

    So try again Billy!


    If you had to guess the party affiliation of most Right to Repair bill sponsors, which of the two parties (Democratic or Republican) would you guess?

    It is a simple question.

    With a simple answer.

    Democratic

    or

    Republican?

    No need to weasel. A one word answer is all that is asked of you.

    Democratic

    or

    Republican?
