    With how they didn’t break up Google after proving it was a monopoly, you know they care more about the data flowing in than anything else.

    The numbers are huge. This must affect passengers from all over the globe, not just in/out of USA.

    Still, these are US companies afaics. A simple "US " in front of the headline and my pulse would not be slightly above normal now. Not that I don’t care about Americans! But it’s not news anymore that your country is mostly fucked.

      Bicycling might be the best option.

        Don’t worry, they have a plan for that too! When self-driving cars kill too many cyclists and pedestrians you’ll have to carry a transponder on your bike that tells the cars where you are and not to hit you. Never mind that the streets belonged to bikes and peds first and the cars are newcomers.

        This transponder info will be logged and retained in detail. If you don’t use it, they’ll blame you if you are hit. If they don’t like you, they will program a self driving car to “accidentally” hit you.

              It always warms my heart to see older memes still being relevant and shared.
