After some thought, I think vandalizing the scooters so that the brakes are always engaged, forever, would be a better course of action. Same goes for cars. Engage the parking brake and then tack weld the cable into place. Maximum hilarity for minimum of injury.

I've heard that there are kits out there which can be used to break them, and given the fact that they're often unwatched where they're left it would not be overly difficult for any moderately talented electronics dorks to remove the alarm or tracker. What pisses me off is that these sorts of setups would work great under socialism with a few changes. Dedicated drop off-zones, accessibility options offered, free actually useful helmets, limited-use items being shared in common. But instead it's rentseeking asking your housemate if you can use their bike today. (You could also do it for, say, boats, pools, A/V equipment, instruments, and of course fancy bongs.)

The solution to the scooters is to find some way to set off the alarms constantly and nonstop

If the companies had ever intended to be anything other than lovely and ~disruptive~ I'm sure enough palms would/could be greased to get some bylaws passed in record time and set up something like this but within a rent-seeking framework so you don't have people thinking they can have a better society all of a sudden

Someone left one of those hellscooters right where a railway crossing boom comes down so it couldn't close and a few hundred people waited in a morning traffic jam until someone noticed and removed it, because obviously the train won't cross if the booms aren't down all the way. A single capitalismooter holding up a train, several full buses, and taxis as well as people in their own cars is certainly disrupting which I guess is the point with these ventures.

cans can be recycled pretty easily (compared to the plastic that every other water brand is sold in) and the idea is to remove some of the stigma around not drinking alcohol. Also the marketing and branding is very clearly tongue in cheek "man marketing"

Well yes but in failed states like the US, the pure, potable water has been sold to oil companies for fracking and to soft drink companies to... bottle, so the tap water is liquid sulfur and morgellons. And they had a revolution about loving taxes but not this lmaoooooooo.

The East India Company's crony capitalism was undercutting local tea smugglers and that was simply unacceptable

if you’re trying to liberate a scooter, just put it in your trunk. if you really want to sell it where a safety vest. they just have contractors drive around and grab scooters, no one gives a poo poo if you have a whole trunk of scooters. pop put the gps/cellular antenna and boom you’ve liberated a bunch of scooters. also scooters are good and should be owned by the local mass transit authority and rentable at subsidized rates using a transit card.

If that's the case, that DD should get better friends rather than give some dumbfuck company 1000x the cost of a pint of tap water. Just what the gently caress is wrong with people nowadays?

Cuz I seem to remember the guy who founded it talking about it in completely different, LET'S MAKE WATER TOTALLY BAD rear end BRO terms. I get the feeling the primary customers are straight edge dorks because this seems like the perfect product for them.
