They are here to help...

Collision warning, lane departure, stability, adaptive cruise, antilock brakes, and traction control systems have worked their way into being necessary equipment for many drivers today.

Exactly.

Who can pay enough attention, or even have the basic coordination and motor skills, to actually drive, or "control" a real vehicle anymore? "Manual transmission? Whut's that? No thanks, dude, that sounds complicated and too much like manual labor".

Who checks their oil, or tire pressure anymore? Much less changing their own fluids, and simple-ass basic maintenance.

Who can figure out how to even find a phone number, if they lose their phone? Much less, memorizing commonly called numbers, like people used to, or having a famous "Little Black Book" for a backup? With most people now, no phone means no internet. No phone, no internet, no brain.

Who, these days, can write a damn simple check, or even figure out how to use real money? Balance a checkbook? Mail a letter or a bill payment? Write in cursive? Do math in their head?

Basic life skills, have become sadly "out of fashion". For a reason.


Let's face it; people these days, are being programmed and raised to be nothing more than consumable sheep by Big Bidness and our Beloved Gubmint . . .

. . . so that they can be fleeced of every damn dime that they've got, and be more easily controllable, for their entire miserable life.


I feel better now. Gotta go; I need to add another layer of tin foil to the noggin cover, quick, before the Black Helicopters get here.

I think i will keep my 2010 ranger and 1979 MGB as long as possible.

More reasons to love the ‘89 F150 I got a few weeks ago!

Bluetooth trackers are everywhere. Surveillance cameras, and now microphones are being placed out in public. There are those who have openly stated that they feel safer because of them. Safer from  whom? From that unknown bad guy boogie man under your bed? History and Government were removed from schools intentionally, not that the stuff was accurate anyway... I am probably going to be murdered because my usefulness has passed, instead of retiring in 22-ish years.

This has been a brain dump.
