This is why you need government. This is why you need regulations.

Corporations are evil pieces of shit that would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.

They'd grind you and your entire family into a powder if it made them a few bucks.

Fuck Jeep and their shitty tin cars.

This is why we need government that isn't in the pocket of corporations.

We need something like lawmakers having to disclose their tax information annually. If you want to be in office and make millions you should be willing to put your morals on the review table.

they would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.

No, they would require you purchase these because their business can’t sell their products without them, but they’d make you pay a subscription for them to keep working, and when you stop paying the subscription, the car stops turning on until you pay your monthly airbag and seatbelt fee.
