- Comment on Police pulled over a Waymo car that drove in the oncoming lane in Phoenix 4 months ago:
These cars were banned from CA roads because they had too many safety issues. That’s why they’re in AZ. One company didn’t address the issue so the CA DMV threatened to pull their registration completely.

That’s only because they don’t drive that fast, and they just dump most problems to a human driver. If a self-driving car stopped in the middle of an intersection and a human driver hit it, the blame would legally fall on the human despite the fact that the self-driving car caused the issue.

You are missing the point. They don’t care about black-owned businesses. That’s an excuse to distract you.
For any excuse a Republican gives you, ask “would you be willing to spend tax dollars to fix that problem?” There’s only two reasons they will say yes (I thought up a second one after my last comment):
-
They will make money personally on the scheme.
-
They will propose tax cuts to “fund it” that result in defunding other programs. These cuts will be greater than the program funded, resulting in net tax cuts.

It doesn’t matter. Republican words and proposed policies are justifications to confuse you. It’s an excuse to support the ideas of rich Republican donors, who are idolized by poor Republicans.
The only real policy of the Republican party is “cut taxes for the rich”. That’s their number one idea. The only time they raise taxes is when their donors will benefit monetarily from the taxes. Look at all their statements in this light.
Don’t ask for statistics; ask if they would support higher taxes to benefit black-owned businesses. The answer will definitely be “no”.

Acoustic covers only, I guess.

People who say “innocent until proven guilty” have never had to work in a regulated industry. You have to have all your licenses and documentation available for inspection at all times.
Even barbers and restaurants have these requirements. No, you can’t just say “it’s around here somewhere”. You need to know where it is.
- Comment on Discord leaker Jack Teixeira pleads guilty, seeks light 11-year sentence 8 months ago:
I have news for you: harsh punishments don’t work on people with poor impulse control.
As anyone with an addiction knows, the harshness of the punishment just hurts more. It doesn’t stop you from giving in to a compulsion. You have to remove the opportunity to do it.
In this case, they need to screen these people better.
