    I can fix my car if it’s got an oil leak. I can’t fix my car if I push it into a burn pit.

      I’d say that greatly depends on where the leak is coming from. You might need a whole new engine.

      And, of course, you aren’t the one fixing it. It’s you and 300 million other people, some of whom want to burn the car to the ground, others who will put antifreeze in the oil filler cap, and still others who will torque the bolts until they snap off.

      Don’t get me wrong; a gradual decline means I have a pretty decent life. My kids won’t be so lucky, but we’ve been on this course since a bunch of guys threw tea in the harbor and there’s nothing I can do to change it.

        Nope we’re all trying to fix our own cars, but some people like you have decided to never change your oil because somebody else decided to drive on bald tires with bad ball joints.
        The real unfortunate part is we’ve all been given American brand cars so all of our cars suck.

          We agree on that. American government was shitty when it started and got shittier over time. They just bolted a V8 and a plastic body kit to a 18th century carriage and called it a day.

              Nah, she needs a complete teardown and rebuild. Of course, the tools we have for that mean we’ll probably end up with something worse.

                Then we need new tools which we won’t get without participating

                  Participating in this sham of a government? No.

                  Participating in other types of action? Probably.
