"Act of God" is a legal term of art. You should be blaming lawyers and governments.

Addictive products are just good products! Have a cigar.

It's more that they have seen they can count on protectionism. Which ironically they also hate because it subjects them to dealers

Indeed. Here in California we are the poster children for this, because we have a 55 mph speed limit while towing which is NEVER enforced. We have a requirement that headlights be aimed correctly, same. We have a law saying that if there are five or more people behind you, you must pull over at the first safe opportunity to let them pass, same. Fender flares must project as far as tires, same. (Anyone who's ever had a rock break their windshield understands.)

CHP cares specifically and only about revenue generation, so they do nothing to improve safety except go after speeders. That's not nothing, but it's not enough.

If they weren't they wouldn't buy their shit, so they KNOW they're stupid

First, Iran has never been close to having a weapon

Second, if they do want one, it's because their primary enemies have one, and one of them is the only country to ever nuke another country

Or the gravel pit

The FCC isn't making these decisions. They are made by the DoD and the DHS, per the initial announcement.

Manual windows don't reduce cost much unless you're going to put them on a lot of vehicles, otherwise it's just more parts you need to design and stock, meanwhile window motors are shared between multiple vehicles. Statistically nobody would rather have manual windows on a vehicle which costs even $40k so it might actually increase costs to offer them.

Not after the bribes are paid.

"Iran have been planning and trying to get nukes forever."

That's what naziyahoo says every time Israel needs money for more bombs, and you internalized it because your mind is weak.

Those two things go hand-in-hand a lot more than I am comfortable with.

This is a thing that happens, if by aliens you mean foreign weed growers operating unlicensed grows in our country. But it's farmers illegally selling them the water.

Yes, if we want to solve our water problems we should make it possible for farmers to not use water themselves and yet keep their allotment in future years by allowing them to divert the unused portion to an aquifer.

The vast majority of pickups are never used to tow anything for their entire existence, not even once. This is probably not true in the UK, but here in the US they often serve the same market that a luxury car normally would, but for people with tiny PP syndrome.
