    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    Businesses and residents have been complaining about abandoned scooters and assholes riding on the sidewalk slamming into pedestrians + cars. It's an unintended blight created by millennials that don't give a damn.

    That's caused by shitty regulation of the shitty rental companies, if the scooters are personally owned then the problem is pretty much solved because nobody wants their shit stolen.
    Doesn't solve the assholes on the sidewalk but there are plenty of responsible users.

    Additionally if you required number plates + a license, etc.

    A lot of those issues are caused by people who have never owned a car getting to use the road and act like asshats.

    I'm not advocating against electric scooters and solving the "Last Mile" mass transit problem. But the experiment by these start-ups have ended the honeymoon period for the unregulated scooter market in liberal cities that would normally embrace such a practical solution.

    I think Bird scooters "require" a drivers license to ride. I see Milwaukee has banned them outright, is suing the company, and is fining anyone who rides the scooters $100.

    You say that until the first pleb starts shooting at you because you're flying over their property.

    The Hawaii people probably should've gotten the volcano insurance, too.

    You know it takes all of 10 seconds to verify if that's real or not.

    Here are his real tweets about it:

    I agree, Elon got pretty triggered when the diver who helped save a dozen kids trapped in a cave agreed with my assessment that the mini sub was a useless PR stunt that would never have been useful for the situation they were in.

    Elon apologized so I'm cool.

    And you and the diver are still wrong for believing that something cannot be both a PR stunt and a good idea/helpful. Honestly not sure why the diver even bothered getting into a public spat over something this asinine in the first place.

    Elon was stupid for responding the way he did.
