Not at all, I recently completed a road trip from Chicago to Blue Ridge, Georgia with a full car (5 people, including me) in a Hyundai Sonata. It was an 11 hour drive. On the way there we stopped exactly once, and on the way back we stopped

You really can't figure it out? It's because today, and not a decade ago, the internet is the primary place for discourse. If you're banned from FB or Twitter, you're effectively banned from having a conversation. 10 y

An hour is still a hell of a long time to wait for your car to fill up, especially when you're used to going from 5% to 100% in ~10 minutes.

If Twitter is 20% American users, how can that be considered "US-centric?" The vast majority of Twitter's users are not in the US...

That's fine, because the US government can't print Bitcoin and hand it to megachurches and wealthy corporations every time there's an economic downturn.
