50% of newly produced cars sold in Europe are automatic. Manuals are definitely more popular but there are definitely automatic cars.

Its machines making DECISIONS thats the issue.

Just saying, you can stay in 1st gear for 10mph.

That was the case 20 years ago.

If its at an angle, yes. But i presume this was on flat terrain. BTW, 1st gear is only if its in danger of rolling backwards. If its in danger of rolling forwards, park in reverse gear.

Its appealing for people that want driving to be more engaging in contrast to people that want it to be less engaging and more layed back (like you do).

For me, driving a manual feels more rewarding/tactile, like typing on a mechanical keyboard instead of a touchscreen.

(And manual cars are usually cheaper to buy and, more importantly, maintain here in Europe)

You dont need permission to comment on something as far as Im concerned. + Only having opinions that match your own is not good a thing (its called a filter bubble).

Ich fahre seit Jahren ca 10 mal im Jahr mit der Bahn und die allermeisten Züge kommen mit höchstens 15 Minuten Verspätung und ohne Probleme an.

Es gibt die 6er-Abteile mit Schiebetür und Großraumwagen. Gab es damals denn was anderes?

On the Github page you linked it says under Installation: "Clone the repository and install the required dependencies enlisted in requirements.txt."

It seems like you didnt do that...

if those who control the government belong to the capitalist class then [...]

regulatory protections [...] may be removed through the direct influence of amazon or some other large corporation

This I dont understand because if everybody votes, the government represent the interests of the whole population (still disregarding lobbying), doesnt it? And if lobbying were the issue, we could just ban it...

1. The Soviet Union led the space race, the Soviet Union made many innovations without the need for competition

They were very much competing (against the USA) in the space race, why else would it be called a "race"? There may be no proof for my statement about competition driving innovation but would you just innovate for the sake of innovating without any rewards? I would not...

Also, I do notice that monopolies tend to be less innovative than multiple competing businesses in a market.

2.Agreed but if something is completely redundanty it will die out in a capitalist market and more importantly, what would be the incentive to innovate at all if we had one monopoly?

3. Completely agee on this one and I do think there should be regulations regarding the market (not like in the USA for example).

high amount of homeless people.

Because it doesnt work like its supposed to, but from a theoretical point of view, they all have the right to food and shelter and everything they need to keep their dignity...
