So the earth has always been hot…

EDIT: reminder to never again make a bad joke about climate change on liberal social media

Sure, if you think of the car as the earth, the windshield as greenhouse gases, and our political leaders/you as the dad having no idea what the hell they're talking about.

I think it was more of a long way to say "manual windows and door handles have worked since cars were invented, why are we reinventing the wheel and introducing new fail points on something like a door handle by making it electric?"

We should be asking this with everything, honestly. We don't need an electronic juice bag presser that "needs" to be connected to your wifi in order to work, or a fridge with a giant screen and camera on the inside so you can look at what's in the fridge without gasp opening the door!

I agree wholeheartedly, believe me.

I have a lot of socially unpopular opinions regarding how technology has and is progressing, and how dependent we're becoming on all of it.

Technically untrue: the first cars didn't have doors at all.
