One thing I’ve noticed a lot on the roads here is that every Cybertruck has an empty bed.
It’s weird. I think I’ve maybe seen one with something in the bed once.

If you elect me Supreme Emperor I will make showing a preview for the movie you are about to watch in theatres a criminal offence, punishable by having to watch every major blockbuster for the next year in 320x320 resolution.
