Excerpt:Unforgettable images from a Los Angeles riot hit us again last weekend. In 1992, it was “rooftop Koreans.” During the George Floyd riots of 2020, we saw high-end shops bracing for the worst — and then getting it. This weekend, we witnessed a masked rioter standing atop a burning Waymo automated taxi and waving the Mexican flag in defiance of… everything — decency, the law, even the nation he’d presumably entered illegally.
Authorities say that at least five Waymos were vandalized and set on fire, forcing the Alphabet-owned company to temporarily suspend ride-hailing service in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Waymo says there’s no evidence their cars were specifically targeted, but being able to summon one by app just to burn it? That’s not a bug, that’s a feature, at least to your average street radical.
Believe it or not, this is good news.
Lenin quipped that “the capitalists will sell us the rope we’ll hang them with.” When that didn’t work out as planned, Communist China figured that the smart move was to manufacture the rope themselves, undercut our rope producers, and hang us at their convenience.
In Los Angeles, a few lefties figured that automation would provide them with cars to set ablaze — and they were right.
