Arguably this should be worked out between the driver and passenger before the ride begins.

And for those who are unaware of the consequences? Do they just deserve to die?

We’re all on this road trip together.

Curiously, no one seemed to think that when they did not get the flu vaccine nor did they seem to think there was anything wrong with one's apartment being surrounded on all sides by heavy pot smokers during winter.

I bring up those two because the group of people who stayed away from the flu vaccines and were fully in support of people's right to light up and get high tend to overlap with the current group of people who want to deny others livelihoods and even life for not conforming to their fears.

"We" are very distinctly not all in this together. Some, mostly single, mostly well off people (or people who have well off parents back to whose large houses they can retreat) are enjoying themselves very much as every part of society is reformed to match their phobias. And, they are empowering people who would love to expand their power no matter what.

The censorship and surveillance infrastructure that is being enhanced to cater to these groups will be used for far worse.

But, who am I kidding, it looks like the majority thinks "Killing Fields" is an adventure game and "Cultural Revolution" is a good thing.

"Are you happy risking death because I don't want to wear a seat belt?" doesn't seem like it needs much "working out".

Which would cause a ruckus in most of the cases. Not exactly what I as a driver, or I as a passenger, want when I think of a ride.
