When I get to hell, I’m gonna spend eternity punching Milton Friedman in the nuts.
I find it hard to believe that anyone actually believes all the surveillance fear mongering given how much surveillance actually occurs in reality. But then again, people have repeatedly shown themselves to be that stupid.
Can't tell if this is rage bait or just genuinely stupid
I’m sure the folks in this community are intelligent enough not to waste time reading National Review, but this is what passes for the conservative “intellectual” argument to keep killing ourselves and others.
By this logic, we shouldn’t have put any limits on tobacco, or required seatbelts.
I love that he just completely ignores the very real ecological impacts of cars in favor of freedom (to sit in traffic and pay an exorbitant amount of fees to insurance companies).
Speaking of freedom, he invokes the specter of surveillance in cities, but cars are literally just rolling computers now that already gather an incredible amount of our data.
There’s so many things wrong with the arguments in this piece, but they all kind of amount to vibes. I guess the author feels like auto drivers are oppressed 🙄.

Biblically accurate head strap
It’s such a weird phenomenon that people can be presented information and data about how awful private vehicles are on so many levels, and yet people won’t change their habits. It does seem like people are unwilling to give up even the tiniest bit of convenience for their own sake (or at least the illusion of convenience).
Following the laws is suspicious? 🤔
It really does seem like driving is the only activity in which laws are mostly optional. Every driver complains about cyclists not following the rules of the road, but they do things that are illegal or fail to take require actions all the time: speeding, rolling stops, switching lanes or turning without blinkers, illegal u-turns, etc. But if confronted it’s just “eh, it’s not a big deal, who cares?”
Carbrain is having your brother die in road violence and still complaining about speed limits
From this article about several cities lowering the speed limit of certain rods by 5mph.
This commenter always complains on any article about transportation.
According to my computer that’s correct
I hate that this made me laugh lol
