Even more simply, demand is drying up as people are getting squeezed from small wage gains and huge inflation. Low demand for goods and incessant demand for “stakeholder value” means cuts have to come. If they’re not in quality, it’s in overhead (staff) - or both. And now bosses have excuses for both back-office and production staff - “automation” and “AI” respectively.
Prorate the tax based on used tread? If you only burned through 10% of the tire before replacing it - pay 10% of the tax.
Include tire checks with thread depth minimums in the annual or semiannual registration renewal.
More fair would be to pay for road wear and tear. Bigger cars do more damage to roads, and semis do exponentially more. Drop the gas tax and charge per mile scaled to the weight of your half loaded vehicle.

It’s not removed from my post. Seems like some of your readers or federated instances are filtering that word out for you.
English history is full of “that foreign word sounds sexy so let’s make a version of it”
Back from this rabbit hole and brought gifts:

It’s been in use since the 16th century by English speakers. Basically it was just an anglicization of the Spanish or Portuguese negro. At the time it was seen as neutral by white folk, but it’s also always been tied to slavery, so definitely not neutral from the pov of the slaves.
So did its use imply a power imbalance? Yes. Did the white folk who used it early on know? Maybe…?
I guess it’s similar to using “Indian” to describe New World Native peoples. It’s always been tied to expansionism and genocide, but from the pov of the oppressor that connotation isn’t readily recognized.
Fair point
Don’t you basically only need to change the pronouns you use to ask about their Significant Other, and maybe change the “when are you going to have kids?” to “when are you going to adopt a kid?”.
Don’t 👏 eat 👏 diseased 👏 meat 👏
Come back!
Burping and farting are tiny, but if we’re talking gasses and changing weight, the vast majority of the mass you lose from fat when you lose weight actually comes out in your breath.
Why do you think they’re buying so much AI shit right now? To filter through the noise for whatever they want to find. People aren’t the bottleneck anymore.
If you’ve got your cute lil kid in that cart then the meme holds up
