This was the biggest failing of (at least) my generation (gen-x): we were only taught that we had a freedom of speech, but never taught that there still could be consequences.

When the majority of examples of freedom of speech were about how we have to allow shit like Nazi marches on capitals because speech is so sacred then it certainly look like there aren’t any consequences.

Fucking hell, it is even worse than just murdering random fishermen.

The House needs over 50% to impeach. The Senate needs 2/3 or 67 vote to convict so there wouldn’t be a situation where a tiebreaker comes into play.

It is nice to dream though…

And running the wiring with the rear lights wiring is sooooooo expensive to install.

They could ban the screens and keep the camera with a small screen that only displays the rear camera when in reverse and nothing else.

They would have done the screens without the backup cameras.

Same with requirements for cruise control, lights, brakes, and pretty much everything else on the car. Hell, most windshield wipers are probably more complex than just having a camera that displays on a screen when in reverse.

A backup camera doesn’t require any kind of connection to anything other than the display for the driver. At the most basic level it is a safety feature like headlights at night and brakes that does not have an inherent connection to anything other than the camera. No recording requirement, not broadcasting, nothing.

You are conflating things that don’t have anything to do with that basic concept.

Back up cameras as a requirement does not require an infotainment that steals data, just a camera and a way to display it to the driver. The fact that car companies tied it into other things doesn’t make the core requirement comparable to 1984.

For example, at least one car I drove had the backup camera display in the rear view mirror, not the infotainment screen.

Back up cameras are also important for sedans, hatchback, and anything else where you can’t see something 24 inches tall right behind the rear bumper. They are a benefit for every enclosed vehicle, just like airbags and abs.

It is without precedent because we don’t hold people in power accountable. Being the first time it has been attempted doesn’t mean the case doesn’t have merit.

The ‘peace plan’ is more complete than anything else from the Trump administration because Russia wrote it.

The one on the list that isn’t over 50% women (architect) is pretty close and climbing, so it just isn’t male dominated enough.

The high pay has a lot to do with ridiculously long and inconsistent hours in high pressure environments and in a lot of cases tons of stress from finding out how horrible people can be.

He may not be a Republican in ideology but his actions absolutely align with Republican policies. That’s why they keep him as their puppet figurehead.

Russia’s peace deal, presented by Trump.

43% is too close to 50% for the administration.

Yes, I am saying that the noose is very different than hate groups coopting the swastika and Norse runes, where the original context was not hate based.

The noose was a symbol of hate before the hate groups used it.

Lived in the US my whole life and apparently wasn’t clear enough.

I am saying the noose was already being used as a hate symbols by the state. The state used them to threaten runaway slaves for example.

Pretty much anything turned into a slogan loses a significant amount of meaning.
