DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

Watch it.

Your Friends in Government, of course, are attempting to ban them by law—and have succeeded with new ones, but a loophole regarding used ones is being (as you might expect) heavily exploited. As you might (als0) expect, the charge on that is being led by the Usual Suspects in the Usual Blue States. As the video points out, “You do not need a conspiracy when you have an incentive.”

I am reminded of a story I heard when I was young; I have no idea whether it’s actually true, but it’s too good not to share.

Supposedly Bill Gates, in the halcyon days when he was newly The Richest Man in the World, bought a brand new high-end Porsche sports car. Unfortunately, he couldn’t drive it in the U.S. because part of the process laid down by Your Friends in Government was that in order to be certified as street-legal a manufacturer actually had to crash a couple of cars to test whether they were sufficiently safe to be on America’s roads. Porsche responded, “Fuck that. We’re not deliberately destroying a couple of $900,000 cars just to slake your appetite for bureaucratic micro-management.” So Bill had to keep it in storage while he attempted to work his way around Our Democracy.

For all I know, it’s still there.
