Even if you're not stupid enough to gamble because you know you have to lose

Obviously unless your a whale like Kerry Packer who is bigger than the casino and knows how to tip - however I digress.

I know there is charitable gaming however I've never understood, beyond organized crime, why all casinos profits aren't regulated into charitable causes and institutions to put people's desire for a non-lethal adrenaline rush to some good use.

Beyond fair use available to all, how?

I can't remember the specific details now, all I recall is seeing the clause (yeah, I actually read the contracts and law, it's quite boring) describing a gov veto power over the brand but 1 in a million that they'd ever use it. I don't even think I bothered asking my lawyer about it and thinking "Of course, gov maintains power, well there's fuck all I can do about it, I may as well just move on"

It's was one of those "Oh, they can do that too can they - typical" moments - I'd never thought about it until I saw this story.

I'd be booking the car in for warranty work to remove it

Ads are designed to capture your attention. To do this to someone when they're driving is surely a safety issue to drivers, other cars, and anyone else.

The car is the ONE place where I can escape ads, unless I listen to a radio, which I rarely do because of the ads. This is so many levels of fucked up.

Did they also realize they need a union

Unions for tech so we have a political voice to modulate technology in favor of humanity is probably one of the most important functions() a technology union could have.

reducing government corruption

Reducing any corruption, for it is the anathema of civilization. I wonder how many pro-freedom initiatives could be had if we all weren't so Pwned.
