Furthering that they are indeed not the "Pro-Life" party but instead the "Pro-Birth" party.

Capitalism demands a high birth rate as well as a high death rate. They want a lot of people I their prime working years, and after that they want you to die.
Pro-forced birth
Anti-woman.
1980s anti-seatbelt News segment: There's no freedom no more
Safety regulations, gun laws, and masks mandates: "This is an outrage! I am a libertarian. Get big brother out of our lives!"
Invasion of privacy, inescapable surveillance networks that use live facial recognition technology, and a giant Palantir database that will contain every individual's data and connections to friends, family, and acquaintances with zero oversight or regulations to keep track of who uses it or how it's used (bc "libertarian"): "Stop being so paranoid. If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to fear."
Oh republicans, always missing the point
They're not missing the point. They are actively obfuscating the real point so they can use the issue to push their agenda.
agreed, but what is the agenda here? I’m not arguing I’m just curious what you think.
Is it reducing liability costs? I imagine making car manufacturers more responsible could cause a heavy financial burden
It's basic libertarianism. They want to get rid of all regulations and let businesses do whatever they want. The bottom line is all that matters to them. They want to remove the requirements for these safety features will make it less expensive to manufacture cars, but it won't lower the costs. Manufactures will just pocket those savings without passing them on to the consumer. And then they'll move on to removing more regulations.
It's not even libertarianism at this point. I don't have a name for it; part stupidity, part bravado, no compassion, no responsibility.
Isn’t that the definition of libertarian?
The point of cars is the manliness of danger haven't you ever seen fast and the furious?
replace the ceo's with ai
I honestly don't understand why "shareholder value" has not already demanded something like this, given how formulaic most "leadership" actually is.
I think I know the reason, and the entire narrative is mostly bullshit, and instead the wealth that companies generate is set up to be extracted by a very, very few and they sit on each others' boards and set up their own compensation, etc...
Well the CEO is typically also a large shareholder. They are compensated with shares in addition to salaries. The idea is that they will ensure shareholder value because it also increases their pay.
Not saying I like it, just explaining why they hurt CEOs
Some of the push for “safety” has been responsible for cars lasting less and getting larger as well… but I’m sure this is NOT what they mean.
That's the part they like because their donors are oil companies.
yeah, whatever. doesn't affect me too much.
I will continue fixing up my piece of shit old cars until I literally cannot get parts for them, and by then there will probably be an actual viable alternative for me that isn't a 2018 shitty-tech infested nightmare with poor visibility, bloated size, and headlights that will get people killed

Some think they covet our deaths for a plausibly higher profit margin, but they are obviously incorrect. True prosperity is their having the freedom to throw our lives away, not that they would.
Republicans steadfastly remaining poster children for the dangers of their most prominent pastime: unrestrained inbreeding.
Are you Elon Musk? If not, disregard. Otherwise, hey, fuck you.
Strap Rafael Cruz to the bumper and run another test.
If only we could put some of them in these "Freedom Cars" for a nice drive.
As someone who cycles, I sometimes think we should ban air bags and seat belts to level the playing field a bit.
Ahhh, a cyclopath.
Well I mean the bulk of the features they are railing about aren't even currently in most cars, Emergency breaking seems about 50/50 on protecting you vs others (hits the brakes if it detects you mindlessly driving towards something), and then the system that prevents people from leaving babies in the back seat.
Wow, I actually agree with the Republicans for once.
