Living in the woods used to be a horrible situation. Now it's something to dream about

@PhthaloJohnson
Unfortunately we're not seeing any government regulations to protect regular people. Instead, we have trillion dollar scams rolling around ready to crush the economy and people at the top are just putting more and more fuel to the fire. This can't be reality bro. We must have all died back in covid and this is just some hell dream. Idk.

@markrixv
Imagine driving in the mountains in the snow at night trying to not die with a screen for your wipers or defrost and then and ad pops up and you yell and then the car stops because it detected duress. No thank you, I will never buy a car made after 2015!!!
