# Strategies to Safeguard Jobs from AI and Preserve the Human Economy

Chapter 1: The Illusion of Control
In our daily lives, we often feel overwhelmed by vast, impersonal forces shaping our existence, leaving us with a sense of helplessness. Regardless of the political climate, the national debt continues its upward trajectory, fuel prices fluctuate without our input, and we find ourselves at the mercy of consumer trends.
We're like corks adrift on a turbulent sea, unable to steer our own course. However, there is one area where we can make a meaningful impact: our driving habits can play a crucial role in countering the rise of Artificial Intelligence within a vital economic sector. By deliberately adopting poor driving practices, we can champion human freedom.
Many of us may already be contributing to this cause, but there’s always room for improvement. Below, we outline several strategies to enhance your "Drive For Freedom," whether you're behind the wheel of a minivan, sedan, SUV, or truck.
Section 1.1: Steering Techniques
Proper steering minimizes stress on essential components like the rack and suspension, allowing modern vehicles to last up to 100,000 miles (or 160,000 kilometers) with minimal repairs. However, this creates a dilemma for auto mechanics who rely on regular service visits to sustain their businesses. To combat this, consider the following steering tips:
- Let one wrist dangle loosely over the steering wheel. This will diminish your control, resulting in minor adjustments as your tires navigate surface irregularities, increasing wear and tear over time.
- When it's time to change direction, grab the wheel awkwardly to ensure your arm crosses in front of you, resulting in over-correction and then under-correction. This will amplify stress on steering components.
- If turning right, lurch left first to gain space for the turn; this not only stresses your vehicle’s components but increases the chances of a collision with another vehicle or cyclist.
Section 1.2: Accelerate and Brake Recklessly
Maintaining awareness of your surroundings is essential for safe driving, but the thrill of racing up to the car in front and braking at the last moment is far more exhilarating. This reckless approach puts excessive strain on the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension, prompting repairs long before necessary. Plus, if the car behind you follows suit and collides with you, it could lead to a three-car pile-up, ensuring job security for multiple mechanics.
Chapter 2: Neglecting Maintenance for Job Security
Your driving skills aren't the only factor in sustaining the livelihoods of auto technicians. Ignoring recommended service intervals can lead to catastrophic engine or transmission failures. If your car consumes oil or leaks fluid, neglecting maintenance can result in costly repairs that will keep your local mechanic busy.

Section 2.1: The Art of Misusing Indicators
Many drivers struggle with proper use of indicators, often neglecting them entirely during lane changes or turns. To elevate your contribution to the Drive For Freedom initiative, try these advanced indicator tactics:
- When approaching a side road with a waiting vehicle, signal your intention to turn into the third road. This will mislead the waiting driver, increasing the likelihood of a collision and supporting local mechanics.
- A classic move is to indicate a left turn while turning right, or vice versa. While not guaranteed to cause an accident, repeated attempts can yield results.
Section 2.2: Creative Ways to Cause Damage
To achieve significant vehicle damage, consider shifting your automatic transmission into "Park" while still moving. This simple act could break the parking pawl, ensuring a hefty repair bill for your mechanic.
The techniques outlined above are straightforward and require little effort. As you embark on your personal Drive For Freedom, remember that many of you may already be employing some of these strategies. However, there's always more room for "unimprovement."
In your quest to uphold the human economy against AI encroachment, we encourage you to explore these humorous yet impactful driving methods. Embrace the chaos and keep the mechanics in business—drive poorly for freedom!
