@callyral @grue don’t forget disabled people. Cars are always touted as the solution for disability but there are *many* disabilities which completely remove driving as a possibility (blindness, epilepsy, many learning disabilities, many physical disabilities … And generally being elderly, if we’re honest) and car dependence leaves you entirely reliant on a chauffeur of some kind for any and every time you want to leave the house.

@CrowyTech feels like we’ve spent years and still nobody in parliament understands tech or even why they *should* understand it.

@CrowyTech yep. Not sure about the Greens, too - they’re pushing for Customs Union and opposing divide and rule at least. But not much voice in parliament.

@CrowyTech my MP is LD so she’ll probably say “yes, I agree they should, aren’t they awful” and that’ll be it. But I might give it a go.

@Dagwood222 @Fredthefishlord I mean it’s stupid that it was even close, but Dubya’s brother stole the election for him. Pretty much accepted fact now that if the recounts had actually been allowed then Gore would have won. US elections are awful. https://youtu.be/jucDFrO89Ko

@FilthyHookerSpit @Freshparsnip the thing I find weird is that not a single county flipped red to blue, but 88 flipped blue to red. Just demographic changes would usually mean one almost-blue changes hands. All one way hasn’t happened since Hoover, so you’d think, from that, that Trump had a MASSIVE margin.
