  • The key differences is utilities you’re paying for the generation & maintenance of key resources - without gas, water and electricity we wouldn’t be able to survive. Road tax you’re helping to pay for the renewal and upkeep of the road surface (among other local services)… Left alone the road will degrade & will become unusable.

    Suspension as a Service is milking what should be a perpetual cost when purchasing the vehicle. If the hardware is already installed, it should be available for the owner to use. They’re not paying for the upkeep of the vehicle, or even ensuring the suspension remains functional… All they’ve done is placed the function behind a pay wall. They can argue they’re maintaining the software, but it’s utter bullshit and I hate the fact this has become a norm within B2B (for example network appliances)

    At least with luxury subscriptions such as Spotify, Netflix, NYT, etc you’re getting access to their content, which they renew. Here you get access to something you should have had access to from day 1.








  • Not the monopolies they hold over the tech industry.

    Or the fact they simultaneously hold more wealth than a small country, yet pay miniscule amounts of tax.

    Or the detriment to society they influence, both directly and indirectly.

    Or the fact they’re intrusive ways to scrape our lives, and selling that data to thousands of “partners”.

    No no… Apparently it’s jealousy that’s driving the EU, rather than making them accountable.







  • They’re not specifically targeting their protests to inconvenience the influencers, politicians or industries supporting the licensing of Big Oil. The majority targets making a large spectacle, with a significant amounts of criminal damage - something to become news-worthy.

    Not once have I seen them promote alternative policy changes for oil & gas use. They’re also not promoting projects dealing with climate change.

    They’re certainly getting exposure, but they’re not winning the public vote. I agree with their cause, but I despise their methods.
