This game is screwed, calling it now.

And so they should. The US is a fascist state that has repeatedly threatened to invade Canada.

Ebikes are just bicycles with motors. They have all the benefits of bicycles but are more accessible to more people, particularly those in hilly locations and those with disabilities.

Most ebikes are speed-limited and are built using standardised bicycle components. The kind you see ripping down sidewalks at 60km/h are often highly illegal in many places and, depending on local laws, might not even be classified as ebikes and may require a licence.

I've read so many times that the cable is designed to wear out faster than the jack, and yet I've had numerous devices have their USB-C jacks fail.

I still have all of my USB-C cables, even the one that came with my very first USB-C phone. All of them still work and fit fine.

That fine is so small that it's not even a slap on the wrist. It's not even a rounding error. It's like a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean. It probably cost more in worker time just to issue the fine.

Someone's $50,000+ car malfunctioning and killing them isn't natural selection. That's not what that term means.

If we lived in any sort of reasonable or responsible world then these cars would be banned from public roads all over the globe.

Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

There are. Heaps of them.

The US is just a big place and very spread out. And the ruling government and its media conglomerates are trying to keep them out of the media.

The Convoy being a rights movement was a skin-deep excuse for what it actually was. It did not take long at all before it turned into a general anti-vax fascist movement that saw significant funding and support coming up from the US.

In the short term: Yes. Unless the US military decides to remove a sitting president but that is extremely unlikely.

In the long term: Yes, but also no. Fascism is extremely inefficient and expensive and the US is destroying its own economy and pushing away all of its allies and former trade partners. Things will get very rough but it will not last forever. There will be a lot of rebuilding that needs to be done.

Unfortunately this has been a long time coming. The United States has never really been united and it was only a matter of time before another possible civil war loomed on the horizon.
