huh

I mean

in a way they kinda already do this in terms of preventing the battery from being discharged too much

IIRC once a Tesla's battery goes completely flat, the wheels won't even spin

you have to lift the thing up (good luck if you parked it underground)

Breitbart reports more then 2 thousand DACA recipients have a criminal record. Rest of the world points out that equates to 0.2% (as opposed to 33% of american citizens)

Mad Scientist

09:31

@KevinvanderVelden 33% percent have criminal records in the US? That sounds extremely high

Kevin van der Velden

That is what the article says, to the googles!

Another article says so: "Regardless of race or gender, researchers estimate that by age 23 nearly one in three Americans will have been arrested."

Mad Scientist

hmm, seems that this statistic includes any kind of record

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

To be fair, so does breitbarts 2k statistic

Mad Scientist

This might be a mistake on my side, but I would usually expect "criminal record" to only count convictions

arrests are meaningless

Kevin van der Velden

A criminal record is any arrest, judgement (guilty or innocent) etc

Mad Scientist

09:36

The number of people arrested still seems absurdly high.

Kevin van der Velden

The amount of americans in jail is also absurdly high

Seems to fit

Avery

yeah like

1/3 arrest sounds real high

Mad Scientist

or does arrested refer to anyone ever taken in for questioning or something like that?

Avery

no no no no no

also I feel like @uni would appreciate this gift of capitalism

@KevinvanderVelden their article also includes a picture of MS-13 to try to equate dreamers with a dangerous gang because Brietbart has no morals and they're actually extreme racists

actually overheard in ER: nurse: "Who's the president?" patient: "Oh GOD."

The fact that "who is the president" is a common "does the patient know what is happening right now" test is going to be hilarious for the next 4 years

Immigrant success story made more incredible because they're actually refugees

Kevin van der Velden

The url is pretty borked =p

MBraedley

There we go. CBC app didn't just copy the link to the clipboard like it should

They are (quite literally) the poster child for taking in refugees.

@Wipqozn FREE MARKET CAPITALISM

LIFEHACK: Don't like that your company is forcing you to risk your life so you can go to work? Find another job!

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn all those dystopian future movies are just about the USA. The rest of the world is fine, happy and productive

When the american masses rise up and overthrow their corporate overlords the rest of the world will just go "Well, took you long enough"

Wipqozn

Makes sense

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden when the American masses rise up and overthrow the corporate overlords, the president will mobilize the national guard

No matter who the president is

@Unionhawk pls

just drop the age of retirement slowly but surely

preferrably no faster, and no slower, than jobs are replaced by machines

that should get you pretty close

Unionhawk

No, instead we must mitigate the problem of people losing jobs to automation

badp

is small government™ USA going to tell corporations they can't replace people with machines produced by the cheapest bidder

Unionhawk

Well you see if people don't have jobs how do they make money

Universal basic income?

That's communist talk

badp

The Invisibile Hand of the Free Market surely w— 🔫

@Unionhawk we do have it, it's called retirement
