Or because a blown fuse

Yeah, because I'm pretty sure DMCA has nothing to do with this. Trying to get a subscription service for free would possibly be a DMCA violation since you are stealing a service.

There are many guides on how to deactivate OnStar.

I think the hope is that Democrats will see Israel as being in league with Trump and stop supporting them. Of course given how costly losing this election was, such a strategy would be a Pyrrhic victory even if it were successful. Which is doubtful, given that I view the Democrats as "controlled opposition".

I will remind any Democratic supporters of Israel that Israel is in league with Trump. I will not allow them to forget it.

I am most decidedly anti-Israel but voted for Harris due to the dozens of other issues that were different between the 2 candidates.

Historically, people have worked due to real scarcity in order to meet their basic survival needs. We don't face such scarcity in the modern, developed world.

I've often conceptualized UBI or other such schemes (e.g. negative income tax) to provide a basic, spartan standard of living. If you want luxury, you need to work for it. Of course what constitutes "luxury" might fluctuate over time. And in times of greater abundance, UBI might be more generous while being scaled back in times of scarcity. If too many people opt out of working and only collect UBI, then real scarcity may indeed become and issue requiring such programs to be reduced.

But the point here is that we produce FAR more than what people actually need. This "must work and produce for the sake of it" leads to a lot of make-work in the form of things like artificial scarcity, planned obsolescence, or people producing and selling solutions in search of problems. The amount of actual fucking trash produced is mind-boggling. Something like fast fashion that produces low quality apparel only intended to be worn a few times has an enormous impact on our environment.

Imagine a world where we worked towards quality and making sure that actual needs were being met rather than being fixated on highest profitability at the exclusion of everything else. A more collaborative society instead of a hyper-competitive "winner take all" freak show.

Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

This reminds me of 2020 when they shut down slaughterhouses due to COVID. They killed hundreds of thousands (likely into the millions) of pigs using ventilation shutdown. These were not diseased pigs, it was simply to dispose of them while the slaughterhouses were shut down.

We live in a fundamentally sick society.

We have such a stupid fucking system for running society. We go out of our fucking way to block better options simply because they don't maximize profit. Not even "are actually unprofitable," just that they don't maximize profit.

Because they are on the same team.

Using a price-tracking site or browser extension should make it obvious.

Yep, this is a branding issue.

Oligarchy => "rich fucking parasites"

Woke = equality (equity too, but stick with equality for sake of simplicity)
