Litigious Company Demands Removal Of A Tweet Linking To An Article About How Litigious They Are

“Even without driving it, if you love cars you should get it. You’re not playing for soft-touch plastics or advanced driving aids. If anything, you’re paying for the absence of those things. The $50,000 is the cost for this car to exist at all. Toyota doesn’t have to do this and understands, reasonably, that for $50,000, most people would just buy the biggest Highlander or 4Runner they could afford. This car is not for those people. It’s for you. Or me.”

Kenya's Saba Saba protests: President William Ruto orders police to shoot rioters targeting businesses in the legs
Government will not stand by and watch businesses and lives destroyed by sponsored rioters, Ruto says.Wycliffe Muia (BBC News)
The image is a screenshot of a news article from BBC News, featuring a man in a blue suit and red patterned tie standing at a podium with two microphones. The headline reads, "Shoot in the leg - Kenyan leader orders police to curb violent protests." The subheading states, "Kenya's President William Ruto has ordered police to shoot protesters targeting businesses in the legs, ensuring they are incapacitated but not killed." The article is authored by Wycliffe Muia and is dated 3 hours ago. The source is credited to State House Kenya/Facebook. The man appears to be speaking, with a serious expression, and the background is blurred, focusing attention on him.

We can have a world of abundance for all now. We have the tools, techniques and technology. What we don't have is the politcal will. Politics have been completely taken over by the billionaires and their Republican Henchmen. They are working to ensure they can force artificial scarcity down our throats while they rack up more power and steal all the resources that really belong to us all.
