    Have you ever considered taxes to pay for collective goods and services, making peoples lives easier, them smarter, building trust in the idea that government can work and giving the government more teeth?

    People will eat shit salads before they give up their F150s. We can’t just let people pay to avoid responsibility.

    The F150 people were sold on the ridiculous trucks by the automotive industry. Theyre also much smaller as a part of the problem.

    The people who make decisions we all feel forced to live with are the ones whose businesses choose the path of least resistance

        How do you change that though? By beating down the people who have the least damage per person? Or by beating down the companies that push these products, and more importantly the ownership class that owns them and casually use private jets to chauffeur their poodles around?
