  • The electric tax doesn’t go towards fixing roads, though. That’s why it needs to change, otherwise the only people paying into that are non-electric car owners.

    I totally agree that the government shouldn’t have more of our data, so I looked up how the pilot program worked and honestly I’m not too mad about it. There are 3 options:

    1. OBD-II device that reads your odometer and sends that in to be tracked. It has an OPTIONAL GPS which, if turned on, will make sure to only tax the miles driven in California (so it would not apply to miles while out of state). If turned off then all miles are taxed.

    2. Car Telemetry that’s already in newer cars that can phone home and send the numbers in (This is my lease favorite)

    3. You simply take a picture of your odometer and submit it. No invasion of privacy and seeing where you’re going. This is the one I like the best.











  • You got a source for that?

    One of the ways VPNs work is by having all your web traffic look like it’s coming from somewhere else, obscuring where you’re really from. They will see a different IP address than what yours actually is. If you were the only person doing this there would be no problem, but VPNs only have so many servers so companies often know what IP addresses those are. What they see is THOUSANDS of actions being taken by a single IP address, so of course it looks like bots! It makes total sense to have some verification to help against DDOS attacks and bad actors.









  • Ah, I see. Because I don’t have the same problems and suffer exactly like you I MUST be a classist prick who cares only for themselves.

    Since you’re so powerful and wise, and apparently know my whole situation, how about you get over here and rip my land-owning heart out of my chest since apparently that’s the only thing that will appease you.

    Wait, I don’t own land. Because it’s a fucking condo. That we lived in for years until we were in a position to get away from it.
