    Driving around in a climate controlled cockpit with surround stereo, splashing rain and mud on all those who they pass by, while laughing at “the poors” who cannot afford to drive or perhaps soon helicopter around everywhere. It definitely has an effect - bc Power Corrupts.

    But it’s not solely their fault - the fault is also (or even… primarily?) ours for voting in such a way that so much space is dedicated to these rich assholes, while leaving no room for ourselves.

    Though also, I bet this asshole would have been just as douchy if both sides of the conflict here had been walking. So the car made the situation so much worse, rather than creating it.

      Back in the day they wanted cops to appear more friendly so they would drive convertibles. Not having a hard cabin between them and their watch “made them more approachable”.
