They’re not going to leave those scooters all over the city, right?

I hear they're free now

As a wise man once said, "the elites don't want you to know this, but the birds at the park are free. You can just take them home"

Look up how to quickly disconnect the batteries before you go hunting, so you can do that before you get them home.

True for the other kind of birds too. Don't want those government surveillance devices to still have batteries in when you take them home.

It's not like anyone ever got them to clean them up anyways. Cities tired of this shit should just drive around with a dump truck, tossing all the Bird litter in and depositing it at the Bird HQ or local office. Then send them the bill for collection.

I can't just abandon a bicycle or throw trash on the ground, why is Bird and all of their customers allowed to?

Looks like they're trying to restructure, so not shutting down operations just yet.

But hey, if they do, free scooters!

Free locked down scooters that can't move.

They're easily hackable, especially the older models. Repairs are also easy on them too. Just need the right charger.

If you remove the sim card and control boards they are just bare components.

No theyve already been dumped in the nearest river
