Automakers offering microtransactions have come under a lot of fire lately, with BMW specifically in the crosshairs. The pressure eased off a little when they ended subscriptions tied to heated seats, but the Internet rage machine has come back for vengeance. Apparently, BMW Slovenija ran ads offering Adaptive M Suspension for just 30 euro per month, which was apparently news to a certain Reddit community. The problem, of course, is that this implies all vehicles ship with an adaptive set of shocks that simply need to be ‘turned on.’ For a low monthly surcharge, of course.

Cars seem to get faster every year. As time goes on, automakers put more research and development into their cars, which leads to more power, efficiency, and space. Gone are the days when vehicles, mainly sedans, were solely used for getting from point A to B in a boring fashion. For example, even common cars like the Honda Civic have nearly 200 horsepower, can get up to 40 MPG, and can blow the doors off any car made just 25 years ago.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
