I love how this one is the controversial take, but boneless chicken with bones, everyone is in agreement is really really bad and should be banned. Yeah i’m sure we gonna make it as a smart species.
The cars are generally bought at auction. That means car dealers took them in trade and didn’t want to sell them because they were too bad/too big a risk to their reputation.
The cars were bought cheap and “repaired” enough to get them running, and then they DETAIL the hell out of them.
Bottom line is, they sell a car they own for 2-3000 for 7k+ and get their cost back so quick they’re making profit almost from day one, and whether you pay high interest forever to them or they repossess it and resell it to someone else for more profit, they don’t care.
I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy’s rule 2 about “Overt Politics”, but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.
overtly political answer, also CW for violence.As far as the current American system goes… nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events: - In 2015 a white supremacist in South Carolina commits a mass shooting, killing 9 people. - In 2017, the Georgia state gov expands the state’s domestic terrorism laws, directly in response to this shooting, because the previous version wouldn’t have covered it. - In 2022, this expanded law gets used… against people protesting police brutality, who hurt no one, despite the fact that the cops killed one of them. Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide “that doesn’t count, actually” when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn’t apply to them in retrospect.
Why? I have to imagine it would be nice if I lived in a walkable city to wake up in the mornings by going for a walk with a coffee to wake up— I mean I might just go to coffee shop so I don’t have to lug it about but it doesn’t seem especially egregious
I assume you mean while on a plane and not onto a plane. Also assuming you mean while on a public plane. Pretty sure masturbating while in public might be a bit illegal at least for dudes, and for anyone whipping it out to get off wouldn’t the exposing ones genitals in public just top it off?
From my industry: Perhaps the purchase of chemicals for the manufacture of fireworks. It’s surprisingly easy to order pounds and pounds of different oxidizers and fuels.
The one I need is highly controlled. I need to make my own strike anywhere matches since Uco quit, need red phosphorous, don’t want to scrape it off of match strikers for hours, want a big ol’ jar. Apparently it’s also used to make “MeTh” so I can’t buy it.
