So the actual story is people are using food banks in Texas because so many are unable to work due to pandemics. In Soviet times, people were queueing for food on their feet, not cars, and for decades, not on pandemic events.

@yogthos Sorry but this some utter bullshit or manipulation, have you even looked at these cars in the queue? These are $20k+ vehicles.

I just finally imported all my Google calendar things to Nextcloud, and I took the Google calendar accounts off my phone! One further tiny step away from Google!

@vfrmedia My original point however was a bit different - if you learn to drive in a bulky car with no power steering and plain hydraulic brakes, this teaches you *a lot* about the physics of driving ;)
@vfrmedia In the first place you'd need a small fortune just to pay for the fuel :) On the other hand, you don't need to worry about narrow lanes too much - it's made of really thick steel ;)

But fighting crime is an extra job for them π€· π
@vfrmedia As usual, there's the "vintage" factor and my 15 yo son now idealises manual gears and wants to learn to drive one π When he can do the license, my response will be this:
I recommend this 2004 book on Genghis Khan and the Mongol empire he created, with numerous breakthrough innovations in administration and warfare. Especially if you wonder why Russian air force is bombing civilians in Syria and spinning disinformation campaigns, all the answers are here.

"When political movements or leaders adopt population control as a central concern ... letβs just say it never goes well. In practice, where you find concern over βpopulation,β you very often find racism, xenophobia, or eugenics lurking in the wings. Itβs almost always, ahem, particular populations that need reducing."

Sergei Magnitsky was a tax lawyer and auditor.
He died eleven years ago today, on November 16, 2009, tortured, beaten, and denied medical treatment, in a Russian prison.
His crime was upholding the law, and pursuing corruption to the tne of 5.4 billion rubles ($230 million), stolen by Russian Interior Ministry officials from his client, the Hermitage Fund.
Magnitsky's client, Bill Browder:
Sergei believed in the law.
He knew right from wrong and he was willing to stand up for the things he believed in. When Sergei discovered that senior Interior Ministry officers had stolen the investment companies of his client, the Hermitage Fund, and then went on to rob the Russian treasury of 5.4 billion rubles ($230 million), the proper course of action was obvious to him. Sergei immediately decided to testify against those corrupt officials.
In December 2012, the United States passed the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, which imposes visa sanctions and asset freezes on those involved in Sergeiβs arrest, torture and death, as well as other gross human rights abusers.
The incoming US administration should make full use of this act against Magnitsky's muderers.
