Thats an impressive level of missing the point.

Americans do not fear being shot on the daily

Maybe if they did, something would be done about all the shootings

As the song goes “freedom is just another word for ‘nothing left to lose’”

is this person arguing that having a lot of options to choose from is a bad thing?

What if those options are nothing more than bread and circuses to distract everyone from the growing dystopia that the sellers of those options are creating?

In his criminal mind, they can’t prove it

It has already been proven in court.

But the US hasn’t even done that…

And continues to stubbornly refuse to.

This is a repeat of the '70s when fuel prices shot up, and people started buying fuel efficient Japanese cars.

The American manufacturers just continued making their land yachts and muscle cars until they came up with such innovations as the Ford Pinto or the AMC Gremlin…

And even those weren’t as fuel efficient as the average Toyota or Honda or Datsun of the era.

Ford, GM and Stelantis are going to just keep pumping out SUVs as fast as they can with only the occational token EV that doesn’t meet what the market demands.

Mustang drivers or pickup truck drivers aren’t the ones most actively seeking an EV.

They need to come up with an EV that competes with a Corolla. Or one that is in the same ballpark as the BYD cars. Not on price alone - no North America based manufacturer can compete directly on price against a subsidizd Chinese company, but on the being a car part.

Some lawmakers are worried.

Not enough of them.

Only the Americans will be mad at that.

The rest of the world knows it is true.

Doing nothing doesn’t make it get any better.

For part of one weekend day every 3-4 months… wow, so impressive…

Get back to me when it is multiple days in a row, and more than a single digit percent of the population.

Once it’s done?

Facissm doesn’t end on its own. It needs to get pushed out.

their obligation to continue to pay American taxes for what amounts to no benefit.

I thought Americans didn’t like “taxation without representation”…

The new American dream: to move away from the nightmare that America has become.

You misunderstand me.

Maybe don’t use such a low-effort broad-brush meme reply, if you expect to be understood.

also be the reason Canadian YouTubers would say zee - why alienate 90% of your market

I doubt it’s any fear of alienating them.

It is likely more the result of those youtubers growing up immersed in American media exports.

Zed is the proper Canadian way to say it.

Also the proper commonwealth way to say it.

consuming a lot of American media.

They export American exceptionalism as a default attitude.

And, after a century or more, it has taken hold far more than it has any right to.

I hope the increasing boycott of all things American that Trump has caused will start to reverse somehow that. But it will take a long time to undo - that shit is pervasive.

This Canadian youtuber doesn’t.

I’m Canadian, and I pronounce things the proper Canadian way.

When mentioning measurements or temperature, I use metric, and if I also happen to translate to imperial, I joke that it is a courtesy translation for the 3 countries in the world still stuck in the obsolete units.

Thanks, I knew about some of Brave’s controversies but missed that.

I also wasn’t previously aware that Brave’s CEO, Brendan Eich, was a homphobic shithead, either.

Not saying that anyone shares that with the sponsors,

That’s my point. The sponsors of individual youtubers don’t have access to that information
