Jeez, this has been going on for so long that parodies of these sorts of malicious practices are nearly a decade old. It’s about time. As usual, California has to be the voice of reason.

    Only a decade? I recall legal action surrounding this shit in the '90s.

    That was for tv and also maybe radio? Technically, this is different. Also, I don’t know of any parodies of tv broadcasts with malicious audio ads.

    This is literally the same thing. Some small technical details regarding the delivery method are wholly immaterial, and any arguments asserting that it is are fully disingenuous.

    As a Californian, fuck Newsom.

    We do have common sense laws that lead the nation in a lot of areas, but especially automobile safety and pollution. Manufacturers don't want to make a California specific version of their product, so it becomes the de facto standard for cars in the US.

    Go cannibalize some oligarchs instead of diving into unproductive pessimism. I’ll provide you an alibi and a palate cleanser

    There was a voice of reason in Nazi Germany. They wanted to send them to Madagascar instead of the crematoria.

    As someone actively preparing to leave the US, I ask you, how do you engage in productive pessimism?

    We plan the dissolution of the United States of America. Do you think we should do it on the internet?
