This sounds like an absolutely fucking nightmare. What makes it so sad is that you know, even now that this is public, the people directly involved will never get proper punishments, maybe some slap on the wrists and retire early.

Then there’s a bigger question. Was this a one-off? Or have other injunctions been granted, supposedly to prevent harassment, but actually silencing people even in private conversations with friends, family and the police?

How likely is it, that this truly was the first and only time this guy thought he was god and could do whatever he wants? Honestly, it doesn't even matter if the original claims were true, but imho this Justice Jay should rot in a dark cell.

    If you're interested about this, here is a video from Climate Town about this topic. He mentions it less than two minutes in: SUV's are regulated as "non passanger work vehicles" and don't have to hit the same standards as regular cars and manufacturers can make much more money selling them.

    Of course this is absolutly insane. How does it make sense that 40+% of all vehicles on the road in the US are "non passanger work vehicles".

    ??? The guy you're replaying to is talking about big corporations and this post is about FedEx... you think one one person made and is responsible for this "notification system"?

    The answer is: because they dont care, unless it impact their profits.

    He does fit, but remember: He's just the symptom and if the Republicans wanted too, Trump would be gone in 24h. There are just many evil people who keep Trump were he is while pushing him one way or the other to get what they want.

    Trump has been an awful human being long before he became president, so no sympathy needed, but what is being done to him is elder abuse.

    CEO's talking nonsense is to be expected at this point. I mean, SpaceX expects the "richest" 3 billion people on the planet to spend $10.000 a year on their AI (directly or indirectly).

    There doesn't seem to be any reason not to overhype and overpromise.

    Don't worry. Not much later and you won't be able to buy any kind of console or even a PC at all. You will only get "terminals" that are basically paper weights without the necessary subscriptions.

    "You will own nothing and be happy" won't stop at games, movies and music. Better hope your 20€ basic office PC subscription won't become 50. Oh, and surly you'd love it if we baked some ads into "your computer". What? You want to play games? Better pay even more to rent 1/100 of some graphics card in some server room. Aren't we nice? That card costs like 10,000 bucks, surly paying 50 a month is a steal, no?

    Just think about all the fucked up shit you could do to screw people over like this. How much money you could squeeze out of them...
