I love online shopping but I hate Amazon and I would say it is my least favourite company that isn't a casino, corporate housing landlord, or for profit healthcare.

In essence: It has bad selection and bad quality products and that's not even mentioning other things like corporate greed or the way they treat their workers.

Advertising.

Cars that make noises constantly that are supposed to help you drive but they just distract you and make you drive worse.

Dishonesty.

Gender.

Cars that use GPS to know what the speed limit is and can't go faster than that.

Yes it's hypothetically feasible and anyone who seeks to implement it deserves to have fire ants erupt from every orifice and immediately start biting and stinging them, especially on their tender bits. :evil:

Think of how long it would take to pass a car going 5 under the speed limit if you can only possibly for 5 km/h faster. That's not improving safety, that's actively seeking to make passing more dangerous.

That makes sense. There could be improvements like only being able to speed up for a certain amount of time, or something like that. Even setting something like no more than 15km/h over the limit could work. At least around here many people go a lot faster than that and there's never a cop anywhere.
I think it's the kind of bad idea that would be better improved than discarded.

Did I mention the strap? The rod and the paddle were two other things that shouldn't have been invented.
