Google says you can sell it to a dealer or a used car service like carmax.
Is that going to be a bit of a hassle? Yeah. You know what else is going to be a bit of a hassle? Needing to pretend you aren't the gender you are because the government has painted a target on your head for choosing happiness. Or hoping nobody decides to take away the green card you worked your ass off to earn.
And is the value going to be dropping? Yeah. So get on that. Plenty of us are getting on finding ways to emigrate to countries that are less horrifically fucked and speedrunning their way to gilead and we know those slots are gonna dry up. And we are the privileged ones who even have a chance at doing this.
So "it is hard and I might lose a bit of money and it isn't my fault I couldn't be bothered to care until now" is a load of horse shit. And people wonder why I, and so many others, just laugh-cry whenever people talk about how this upcoming thing is totally going to flip the switch and get America to riot in the streets.
If you care about being consistent, you should probably smash your computer right now since you used Google, and Google CEOs are on the Trump train too.
All major companies have blood on their hands. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
To my knowledge, only one company's CEO is publicly heiling hitler and actively destroying a government and killing children by defunding aid programs in a manner that violates the constituion.
And, personally? I do make it a point to avoid giving money to the REALLY bad companies. In a lot of cases that is just not possible because of the late stage capitalism hellscape we live in. But when I have the choice between some Popeyes and some chikfila? One of those companies openly funds MUCH worse things than the other and walking a block farther is, quite frankly, the least I can do.
But, instead, we need to celebrate people supporting evil through apathy and then actively defend them when protests are happening? Y'all were the ones who were talking about how kyle rittenhouse is a bad person but he had a point about being worried about the guy who owned the Target on 5th street, huh?
Because what does this say to our LGBTQ+ friends (assuming everyone involved has some...) or the people being illegally deported and sent to internment camps when the biggest pushback is "Whoa. Your protesting might inconvenience me and is thus bad"?
If you can't see the difference between protesting in a way that actually hinders fascists, vs making a hitlist of people who fell for positive marketing, then I just can't help you.
You should go outside and touch some grass friend
Is there a Tesla dealership on top of that grass?
Their comment, unfortunately, seems grounded in reality.
If that is what you think then perhaps you need to go touch some grass as well
Get a better comeback.
It's not an insult, it just means you need to go get some fresh air and perspective
It's a conversation terminus used by people who refuse to accept that they might be wrong about something.
If you think people deserve to have their personal property destroyed because of the viewpoints of an out of touch egotistical billionare then you truly need to touch some grass and reflect. It's a pretty simple message I think.
