Right-to-repair advocate and YouTube tech commentator Louis Rossmann recently responded to a series of messages he’s received inquiring about why he has not commented on the recent move to enable AI surveillance-based kill switches in all vehicles beginning in 2027. The problem was that Rossmann has been a prominent public voice against this very thing for years, even making a sample letter that his viewers could send to their representatives asking them to veto car kill switch regulations. Yet because he didn’t post a video the day the issue began to go viral he was accused of avoiding it.
“I been going over this in this channel for quite a long time and the issue, what I find, is not that I don’t go over the issue,” Rossmann said. “It’s that unfortunately, nobody cares.”
Rossmann brought up a larger issue however, the fact that regulations (such as car kill switches) may not be as important to people facing stagnant economic activity. With average new car prices sitting at nearly $50,000, the surveillance grid which is being erected with them becomes a moot point for people struggling to make ends meet.
Rossmann runs a successful consumer tech repair business, fixing laptops, smartphones and recovering lost data on malfunctioning drives. He mentioned that he occasionally engages in an activity to realign himself with the fact he is well-off and reinvigorate his motivation to be productive at work – applying for jobs.
“Every now and then I do this thing just to remind myself why I need to keep my business in order, why I need to stay on my shit, I will actually try and get a job,” Rossmann said, going on to explain that when he applied to 500 companies he received only one call back, which was an automated rejection notice.
“The reason I do this every few years is to really remind myself and to give myself that kick in the ass as a reminder that if I don’t stay on my shit, if I don’t do all the things that I need to do with my business and keep things in order, that I’m fucked,” he said.
Rossmann explained how people are worried if they will be replaced with a machine (AI) or if they will be able to feed themselves or be able to get married or see a return to regular relationships.
“I understand how your car potentially having a kill switch inside of it that stops it from working if it detects alcohol in the air might not be your biggest concern right now,” he said.
The premise of a big brother surveillance grid being established under the cover of economic hardship may not be universally alarming to the impoverished masses, but that appears to be by design.
“If it’s that hard for me, then what must it be like for normal everyday people who don’t have the benefit of having 18 to 20 years of business experience,” he said. “A lot of the people watching this channel are genuinely fucked. And those people don’t necessarily have the wherewithal or the state of mind within the … what my personal trainer would refer to as the Maslovs (sic) hierarchy of needs when it comes to caring about something like my car turning itself off because it may sense if there’s alcohol somewhere in 2027. I understand how in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 that’s just not something that’s on the forefront of people’s minds.”
He discussed reading a Bloomberg article from Wednesday which said, citing a study, that the number of Canadian millennials living with their parents is double that of Canadian boomers of a similar age in 1991.
Back in 2021 Rossmann posed the question in a video “should a car try to detect if you’re drunk?” where he pointed out the terrible implications of such a system.
Note that in 2021 the mass public consciousness was on getting the newly-released Covid gene therapy injection. Masks (aka face diapers) and their enforcers (mask-Nazis) created viral video confrontations. Lockdowns were still hot topics and quarantine camps were imprisoning innocent people from Australia to China. President via-autopen Joe Biden was engaged in the first year of his presidential performance and January 6 attendees were getting SWAT teamed in the middle of the night.
A topic few cared about was automobile kill switches and AI surveillance sobriety tests of every driver.
In early 2022 Rossmann again discussed the authoritarian automobiles of the future, and why consumers should reject purchasing them. While Rossmann was busy sounding the alarm about this issue, the public was more concerned with the Canadian Trucker Convoy, the start of the Ukraine war and Bidenflation sweeping the nation.
More recently, he discussed Rep. Thomas Massie’s push to remove the automobile kill switch regulation in a video he uploaded in February.
Cars are often the second biggest purchase a person would make, after a home. Homeownership is becoming less and less attainable to the generations currently in the age group seeking their first home – millennial and zoomers.
An article from Yahoo News on Friday covered how “Millennials are airing their frustrations amongst each other in the Reddit thread r/Millennials, sharing their stories and experiences with their Boomer parents, with many calling Boomers ‘out of touch‘.”
“Millennials trying to buy homes in today’s economy are up against a rock and a hard place. Unlike for their Boomer parents, the dream of buying a home continues to feel further away,” Yahoo said Friday. “According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Millennials ‘continue to be fenced out of homeownership.’ The organization reported that in 2025, the average age of first-time homeownership rose to 40 years old, up from 38 just the year before, with the share of first-time buyers falling to a record low of 21%. ‘The historically low share of first-time buyers underscores the real-world consequences of a housing market starved for affordable inventory,’ said Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research.”
The phenomenon of a bipartisan political system which has catered to the boomer generation throughout their entire lives is known as “total boomer luxury communism” (TBLC).
“The essence of TBLC is that it redistributes wealth from younger families and workers to seniors, who are on average much richer,” American Mind said in December.
Indeed, the U.S. government is forcibly redistributing wealth from the poorer younger generations who are trying to get established with a career and a house to the old people who live in houses they bought for much lower prices while also carrying larger amounts of savings on average. In a similar economic method, the communist Soviet Union forcibly redistributed wealth from middle class land owners to peasants, causing widespread famine and genocide via starvation.
American Mind detailed the “communism” part of TBLC:
There’s six times as much wealth redistribution happening in America as in China. That’s the “communism,” but only for the “Boomers.” The “luxury” part comes in how the government distributes these benefits.
Perversely, retired millionaires have become the greatest recipients of government aid. Max Social Security benefits in the U.S. are 3-4 times what seniors can ever hope to achieve in other developed nations, such as Britain, Canada, and New Zealand. These are allocated by lifetime income, so the greatest Social Security benefits go to wealthy individuals, who need them the least.
An individual can take in over $60,000 a year from Social Security alone. Meanwhile, Medicare programs are paying for golf balls, greens fees, social club memberships, horseback riding lessons, and pet food. On average, retirees are much wealthier than younger generations.
Additionally, TBLC thrives off bringing in aliens from the third world and developing countries like Mexico, India and China to drive down wages so boomers can experience more services at less cost while millennials and zoomers struggle to find work. These aliens further increase housing costs due to lowering the supply, increase the demand of health care driving up medical costs and create ethnically dangerous conditions for raising a new family in.
Tucker Carlson recently interviewed YouTuber Tyler Oliveira who, toward the end of the episode, discussed the dismal job market and cost of living crisis his generation, the zoomer, is facing.
While boomers may have the economic stability to focus on more esoteric issues, such as kill switches in cars, they do not have the time nor interest to.
The generation born between 1946 to 1964 is now getting to the stage of life where an earthly “future” is not so longterm. A common trope of the boomer has become “I’ll be dead soon anyway” – referencing why they do not care about future problems.
Boomers generally get their news from corporate media on television, a form of news that selectively reports stories with an often pro-establishment bent. Resisting a surveillance grid is not a common thought for these viewers.
While a prison planet is erected the population whose future is in peril is diverted from action by the economic effects of total boomer luxury communism.

$3 billion a day in interest. 40 trillion debt commn soon.
As if this is somehow news. Lol useless site
Any time the subject of personal finance, CPI, inflation, off shoring, investment, and financing come up, rest assured people who obviously don’t even participate are going to teach those who do all about it.. Saying these younger people should juts do what we did in the twentieth-century when NAFTA and WTO hadn’t yet fully off-shored whole industries is just dumb..
Also the last quarter of the twentieth people weren’t “financing” cars and homes; that didn’t start till at least the late eighties even in “poor” regions.. But what would I know I was only there and seen it all first hand..
Zoomers don’t get that their grandparents started with a shack, fixed it up, then paid down their mortgage slowly over many years, before selling and rolling it over into something nicer. They repeated that process a couple of times and ended up with the fine homes which fill young women with so much envy today. Young people just want it all and want it now. Too bad.
They didn’t, actually.. I know cause I was there..
They were paying cash for Jim Walter homes, even in the South East where everyone was “poor”..
Even just on a basic-math bases you’re talking nonsense.. They weren’t doing FHA or USDA financing, and they weren’t financing cars. Again, I was there, and seen it first hand even in the rural poor south..
Vastly more boomers bought houses with a mortgage than ever paid cash for them. The typical progression was something like a starter house (maybe in need of some sweat equity) rolled into a bigger house in a good school district while the kids grew up, then sold after decades to build that dream retirement home on a lake. That was how they achieved the dream. My point is that zoomers covet the fine house on the lake but do not appreciate all the hard work that leds up to it. There are plenty of modest bungalows in the Detroit Metro area that would make quite affordable starter homes, house and neighborhood in need of improvement. No one wants them.
I didn’t ask AI or Google.. I was there..
In the poorest part of the US, the rural South East, people were paying cash for land(about $500 an acre in the seventies) and using it for Jim Walter built homes and finishing them themselves to cut cost.
More inconvenient facts for people who probably weren’t even alive then: It was land in lieu.. Meaning the people you say didn’t exist were paying cash for land and financing no money down homes with the deed..
You might want to wait for some more generations to die off before you start using AI and search engines to write your own version of history.. Your sheltered gen x, millenial, and zoomer narratives won’t work when people with first hand knowledge are still alive..
One person’s opinion is somehow greater than reality. Nice try retard.
Says the neck beard lurking any type of virtual interaction non-stop from mommas basement.. Probably wasn’t even alive then..
Drug addled SSRI ridden brain rot generation
Which is no worse or better than neck beard net lurker with incel rage in any comment section not banned from.. Neither worth a f’ at any thing..
It is worth noting that “zoomers” especially those of the female persuasion, have absolutely zero interest in a “starter home”. Nothing short of a McMansion is acceptable. They fully expect to buy in at the very top of the luxurynarket, like they see on social media, and seem to be surprised that such homes are costly.
Narcissist dipshit zoomer women are the worst
Near or as bad as too damn old to still be with momma internet trolls.. Neither worth a f’ at any things but want to teach us all with their total lack of common sense, wisdom, or intelligence..
