Japan introduced brake lights that increase intensity based on how hard the driver was braking. 20+ years ago. They tested it in the US and drivers found it to be “confusing.”

Have a feeling by tomorrow he'll be backhanding the Dem party left and right.

"If Trump can drive me into this bunch of pussies, he must really suck" etc just to make his point.

Then in 2 months he can switch back.

They love globalization. We all love it's cheap consumer goods tho. That and cocaine. In those ways, we're all 80s republicans.

Had to check that this wasn't written by Joss Lake as this seems like a device/power from his novel Future Feeling

Actually several of them made statements along the lines of “it’s cheaper to go along with it vs the business we’d lose from the media fallout”

So they actually went the wrong way on purpose not understanding public sentiment would change

We have a friend who's a pediatric emergency physician in a world-class US city. The day Trump was elected, she scrubbed her social media of anything critical, and started quietly scouting properties she can move her family to in friendlier countries. Right now her income is supporting like 3 US households, if she pulls out, it's like 3 families, 3 mortgages, all of that money goes with her.

Grocery shopping yesterday we really noticed it for the first time. Things have been higher and higher for a while but now there an extra 10-30% on some goods, overnight. Gonna be a brutal year. I’ve never seen stagflation in the flesh. No one my age has.

Fabric softener isn’t soap tho, it’s like the opposite, a bunch of greasy conditioners and relaxants and fragrances designed to cling to your clothes even after rinsing.

Because becoming a billionaire itself contributes to society’s collapse. They are opposite goals.
