i have a laser dot on a small pistol. the bodyguard 380. all it does is show me how much i actually shake!

this is america. cops kill.

it’s trading one capitalist place for another. china is just a unit of measure ahead in terms of tech, social programs, healthcare, and such.

i worry that US corps will be pushed to not allow remote work from other countries when enough of us do move the hell away.

while this is a set of fair points, my thoughts were not on punishment as a deterrent; it was on punishment to simply remove them from the road permanently.

i agree safety tech is good. seat belts to drowsy eye tech … all good. what I don’t see is the tech for drink driving specifically being tenable in a for profit nightmare world we live in. Subscription for the interlocking lapse? car is offline. Etc.

If they could make it offline, serviceable and calibrated as simply as an oil change, and buy once tech… cool.

because drunks find a way to make trouble. they’ll get around the tech glitches in the imperfect deployments. they’ll be alert enough to trick it. etc. they’ll drink while driving and the system won’t see that and the impairment won’t be recognized till its too late. (i’m focused on system concerns because I am also a software engineer and know the realities of large scale tech like this.)

to counter the tech I think the punishments for impaired driving (including cell phone use) should be harsh and without kindness, if you cause another person harm. Federally. With no return of your privileges once convicted.

While I am very much anti-government, if I am not going to be allowed to “follow up” with someone who drank and ran over a family member, etc… then we might as well push the lawmakers to do their jobs with the laws we already have. Not make new ones that are clearly there to profit tech and not save lives.

as someone who has dealt with over 20 years of pulling victims, alive and dead, from crashes caused by drunks (am firefighter not terrible driver…) I can say this won’t help shit. Just give more data (profit) to corporations and be used in rights violating ways.

keeping sick people alive is a lot of profit.

repeal capitalism.

dems say something? why? they profit too.

Profit.

naa. your mom is still on the pass side.

curious but why do they always say “settler” in articles like this. The Palestinians are the landowners. Not settlers. The israelies are invaders, not settlers.

or vigorously rubbing your nose while in the shower, itching your inner sinus. you bleed for a day or two later but…

that’s sad but not surprising these days.

that’s trump’s plan. iran shoots and now trump has “proof” we “need” to be there boots on ground and queue up the new hit “murica” country songs…

it’s not an attempt to assert control, it’s an “out” to manufacture consent at Gulf of Tonkin levels.

nice try glowie. (is that still ok to call fbi agents, or has the right coopted Terry’s terms?)

what of us lefties who were born here. i’ll proudly “possess” all the banned things until the last moment.

this … sounds like the kind of reply that may be true or may result in an odd new kink.
