    The simple answer is “REFUSE TO BUY THE SHIT!”

    It is literally that simple. I can’t think of a single person that HAS to buy a NEW car. Keep what you have or buy used. Tell the dealerships and auto makers to fuck off! Explain why a person ever has to buy a NEW car.

    As long as people are stupid and buy it the auto makers WILL continue on this path.

      The simple answer is “REFUSE TO BUY THE SHIT!”

      “For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.” – H.L. Mencken

      The reality is, individual boycotts don’t do shit because people who care about their property rights are outnumbered by dipshit consumer whores by a dozen to one (if not worse). The only way to actually fix this is regulatory action by the FTC to outlaw this shit as the blatantly obvious violation of the doctrine of first sale that it is.

      A better solution is to counter market these products. Invest time in spreading content that tells other people how shit these products are. Not buying it doesn’t do much. But spreading the good word does. Its why they pay so much to advertise and market
