My own father, who cannot conceive of affording a cybertruck, took it personally when I mentioned the factual issues those rusting eyesores have.

      Even though I live in the US, it is kinda nice to see this country finally get its comeuppance for a century of ruining the homes of my brethren. 'Oh, your democratically elected government or leader is to the left of Ronald [the Fucker] Reagan? You get a coup. You get an assassination. All of you get a fascist murderous right wing military dictatorship that will kill, torture, SA, and steal the children of tens of thousands of people, set back the economy and lower the standard of living for generations. We will feel just a fraction of the pain caused by our government and the people who supported, and still support, its policies.
