It's one of those, you've seen enough articles, time to get on the email list, kinda things.

The existing auto industry would squash this as quickly and effectively as possible, we'd absolutely need a command economy to put something like this through.

I bet they'd be doing a lot better if the US hadn't stolen $7B USD from their central bank, or you know, bombed the country into oblivion for two decades, or armed and trained the Mujahideen (including Osama) against the Soviets when they wanted to assist Afghanistan's socialist development. No, blame it all on the Taliban, an organization that profoundly reflects US involvement. That way Western capitalist press can manufacture consent for more US involvement. I'm sure Afghani people are hoping we'll "help" more. There is no price too great, if we can raise revenue for US arms manufacturers.

Punxutawney is a shithole and Groundhog Day there is a super-crowded cold muddy boring clusterfuck.

To bring this back around to the NSA, they're prevented by law to do data collection on American citizens who fall outside the exceptions like this FISA bill. The one loophole is that private companies have much more leeway in whose private information they can collect, and NSA can use American tax dollars to buy your personal information that's illegal for them to collect themselves. Now NSA is a military intelligence organization and they're not supposed to toss their intercepts over to US law enforcement like the FBI, but they do.
