No-Bank-but-Fraud really seems to think his whacky haircut and just-keep-talking is going to save him in court despite the fact it already got him a massive conviction.
What a toxic egomaniac and fraudster.

What are you talking about? M$ Teams Transcript feature is not only available and being used even in executive meetings, some companies are forcing it onto employees.
So this is just one click of consent away, even in EU.
A sad reality, really.
The peddlers of doomsday devices are praising how terribly doomsday-worthy their little machines are, hoping for even more cash infusions into the furnace...
And like a reflection-attack, all media swallows it up like flies on fresh dog excrement.
China and the CCP are at most communist in name - their entire economic and geopolitical rise was and is based on Western principles and teachings, the only difference being the CCP ruthlessly also uses all the dark patterns that are mostly banned in the West.
The CCP has for decades invited Western scholars to teach them how to make China thrive.
Then they sort-of-invited, sort-of-forced greedy and naive German carmakers to manufacture in state-owned factories so they could get all that knowledge they were not yet getting from espionage. Then bought Volvo, plus KuKA.
If you had setup a project with the goal to boost Chinese car manufacturing, that project would have not been as successful as what has happened in the last 10-20 years thru greed, naivite and stupidity on the Western parts - first and foremost ze germanz. (Where those chickens are coming home to roost, look at the failure VWG has become)
They not only meet, they both started out from the same ideology and philosophy but took different paths - but fascism was always rooted in Marx and communism.
The modern left has managed to twist the unbelievably bloody history of communism in a significantly more favorable light, however, which is very very strange and alarming.
You do realize that nowadays in modern cars practically everything is drive-by-wire, chip and software, right? You are making suggestions on a bus and control units then decide what to actually do based on a lot of other factors and tuning.
It would not be all that practical but you could easily steer these teslas with a gaming controller if you REALLY want to drive yourself but the idea for a market and a direction based on safety stats is clear: the mass of cars in the future will drive themselves, and the average Joe will not interfere with anything. Actually driving yourself could become a kind of luxury spare time or something for future boomers and their passion and enthusiasm for gas guzzlers.
And these vehicles released into the wild in Austin are their R&D project to fine-tune things, for consumers and for actual taxis.
How come your quite wrong definition of fascism matches every communist/marxist/socialist dictatorship ever then?

It has absolutely never been easier and cheaper to flood an entire country with propaganda than today - in the past you at least needed to print and drop paper or setup a radio station and smuggle in receivers.
Nowadays you got the cheapest and most direct data pipelines into the subconscious of the entire Western hemisphere if you want to harm the cultural West.
And you got self-hating people in those countries acting as huge amplifiers.
If China, NorthKorea, Iran and RuSSia were not using the opportunity on a massive scale, they would be very stupid.
And they are not stupid as far as information warfare is concerned. This has always been the absolute specialty of KGB.
Their one-child policy is so deeply culturally engrained and has left so many cultural marks that it is the poisoned gift that keeps on giving.
Way less women to marry who are way more picky means way more frustrated men talking to AI, and both refuse to keep up the crushing pace the CCP demands of borderline slave labor, to drive industry and the machine coming war..
So no wonder they see a need to crack down on distractions and will soon basically force breeding, their population is getting very old, that means no workers and much worse for the CCP and their clear aspirations: no soldiers.
It should be absolutely trivial for an allegedly oh so highly skilled worker to make at least two-three times that amount in the glorious tech hubs, right?
Unless h1b is just wage dumping and they wouldnt even pay them 50k..
In w40k terms we are now in the age of technology, and once AI takes over nobody will understand basic stuff anymore, and will rely on weird pseudo-religious chants and sacraments to keep machines running.
Dont believe me? What does EVERYONE do when the internet is not working? They perform the holy rite of the power cycle.. without understanding anything that is happening. It has already started..
GenX and older Millenials will be the last tech priests, until they are gone, then nobody will understand any technology anymore!
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only cluelessness!
You know, people like you are going to be hit first and hardest once the red-green alliance and the DSA get their way. Which is ironic because it was first and foremost you and the feminists who built these parallel power structures and means of forcing the population, and now you and feminists will pay more than anyone else when these power structures are used against you. Just look at Dearborn, if you think quiet little hick towns will be safe for you.
For too many years now, 1984 has been used like an instruction manual and it is done so bipartisan.
The city of Munich was ahead of the time and made the right choice originally - then got corrupted and went back to M$, sadly.
