This guy hasn't ever spoken to a human, never eats actual food, can't dress himself, and has a $7 haircut, but he wants to establish a "founder-led government" in Alameda which, let's face it, is a call for revolution and should be met with the appropriate level of popular resistance.

Cars were a huge mistake. Civilized people ride the bus. The idea that people from other cities will just drive a car into your city? Totally nuts.
