Reply to comment by Werd616 in Future Fords Could Repossess Themselves and Drive Away if You Miss Payments by bajo2292

Car industry and car lobby is very well connected with the ruling class in America, Ford is like a poster child for 70's car boom and this may very well be a way to test the waters and in a distant future, you would consider this a norm.

We soon will be pushed to pay for "luxury services" in our cars on a subscription model, you wanna heated seats ? 5,99$/mo . You want to have access to heat your car before you go to work on a freezing morning? 12,99$/mo.

>We are living in the emotional dark ages, the world we've created out of greed does not do well to humans or Earth in the long run. Our very nature is being hacked for profit (social media being the great latest factor). People are still very much asleep and keep looking at the wrong root cause of things, putting simple band aids on things where surgery is needed.

completely agree, find my other comment here ... it's up there ... + there's this alegory, we are playing with fire - creating atomic bombs, social media, AI - stuff we cant control and is too much for us, we did not grow enough to play with fire.

don't beat yourself too much, as we get older, our social interactions outside of work tend to dumpen, your friend circle tend to get smaller, it's normal ... If you cherish social interaction go out more, go to bar, speak with strangers... there's nothing better than to deep dive into each other psychés with a stranger ... especially for us, socially hungry ... take on a hobby - I suggest hours of classical dancing in pairs, it's better when you dont have a partner, you dance for a bit with lots of women and you tend to feel stuff without even talking, the connection is sometimes beautiful and spontaneous, othertimes a bit cringy but it's all part of the "Dance"

I would like to add, that our collective morale is disproportionately distributed and those with much more money and power, be it political, social or some other to the point, where 1% can sway the 99%... and the end result of collective morale is ... ^(I'll let you, reader finish the sentence)

Other thing of note is prevailing socioeconomical system that has biggest share - capitalism. The constant race for profit and seemingly infinte rate of growth is killing planet and morale .... same could be said about communism though and it's impact ... no model is perfect, but wealth neeeds to be distributed more proportionately and we need much more social approach for those who are most vulnerable - lower income people, our planet, animals and the whole climate ... if there's no nature and most of animals are dead, than it says something about the age of anthropocene - age of men, we are at right now.

stay safe, love your neighbour, breathe the fresh air while you can, do the right thing always ...
