Little guy. :( I feel you, buddy.

Yeah I'd like to know what part of inalienable is messing with his (Bovino's) head...

I think at some point, big corporations like microsoft or google will try adding their crap to the repositorys and try to make them used by majority.

They've already done this in some obvious ways, but also the recent Rust Zealotry and the non-stop drive to penetrate the kernel code is concerning: Rust Foundation

The analogy I go to for this concept is "the thorny vine." A single thorn is a minor inconvenience, but if one were to attempt to grab the vine and tear it down by force, then there's a lot of pain.

I'm sure they did read the content in the links. The point they are making is exactly your final line. There's this refrain of "Boomers are ruining everything!" but the reality is it's a small number of people with a lot of money using that money to do what they please at everyone else's expense.

When the last "boomer" dies, the problem will remain. If we collectively fail to address it, then it's just going to change up to "Dang GenYs ruining everything!"

According to this article, average payment is $745 new / $521 used on a 6 year note. So they either have a nicer used car or slightly below average new car.

$1,400 for rent in a managed apartment complex in a US suburban area also doesn't raise an eyebrow, especially in a northeast state like Connecticut.

So yeah, this is "normal" in America.

I drive a '96 Jeep Cherokee and yeah, I do the same. Haha!

The measurable benefits seem good and I wouldn't suggest ending the program, but I do wonder with schemes like this how many fewer Mercedes, BMWs, and Land Rovers are in the city vs. Hondas, Toyotas, and Kias.

Maybe I am just a cynic but the statement about "...supporters were those who drove into the central business district the most frequently" carries a subtext that "now that the f'in poors are out of the way I can get where I'm going quickly!"

I always root for the arsonists.
