Wow. Midterms will be interesting. I guess I'll be voting against Turner.

I really hope massie wins and defeats the pro Trump puppet in ky. Need his voice.

Anyone with electrical experience heard of the Power Saver Pro X? It's supposed to filter out 'dirty electricity' that you can't actually use, greatly lowering your monthly bill. Sounds too good to be true.....

I dont know what to do. The deep state is stacking the deck against the few seemingly decent politicians we have. Feel like we need a movement to primary near all the incumbents from both parties with someone that has a sliver of hope of not being a puppet. Deep state probably owns most of the challengers in primaries too.

I just googled. Ohio has closed primaries, and I'm nonpartisan. I hope Ohioans in the 10th like their privacy. Fingers crossed.

I will be sending an email to Turner's office to express my dissatisfaction for his support of the kill switch. Totally un-American. I would have thought such BS violates the 4th amendment and case law regarding reasonable expectation of privacy.

I'm pretty sure certain folks can already track and shut down any recently made auto? I'm curious if this is just to make sure that doesn't change or allow easier access to such controls.

You'd need an internet connection, so the car would need some kind of cellular signal. No idea if cars have this, but I truly hope not. Every time I've taken a car in to get checked, they plugged in a computer.

I was of the impression the "on star" or sirius satellite signals could be used to do the same. Wouldn't expect that the technicians at the shop would have access to such things but someone does. Kind of like how the CIA could pull whatever they want off our phones without physically having them.

Like how new toyota tundras dont have remote start on keyfobs, you have to download the app to do it from there (and sign off on them using even more of your data in the process). When I bought my last f150 they pitched all these cool things i'd get if I used the myFord app. LIke theyd give me discounts on oil changes and stuff. I asked them what Ford gets out of me using the App cuz if im financially incentivized to use it, they're getting something out of the deal that they aren't being up front about.

Can’t remember where I saw this but I remember hearing about some journalist who died in a mysterious single car wreck where his new Mercedes sped up to 120 mph before hitting a wall. The prevailing theory was someone was able to hack the car and override the controls. Who knows. Good news for me, you can’t even control my radio from the steering wheel

If your vehicle has OnStar, even if it is not active and never paid for, they can track it, turn it off, and other things. Look up Stolen Vehicle assistance and Remote Ignition Block.

I drove a ford explorer for a work truck. I did not enjoy the day that I realized the steering wheel was not connected to a shaft that went down through the floor board.

Steers by electric motor. That was quite awhile ago. One of those things you wish you didn’t know.

And this talk has officially cured me of wanting a Tesla too.

OnStar was a cell phone built into the car.

Maybe they all have them now. I don't know. I assume they all have a GPS, so there's some kind of communication at least with satellites. I guess any car that offers wifi hotspot service would have to have a cell phone built in.

Minnesota winter pretty much helped me make that decision. Electric might work fine in warmer climates but there isn't much you can count on to run here in the winter time.
