What is the purpose of removing the gear stalks in newer Tesla models? Is there an engineering/mechanical purpose to removing the gear stalk?

OR is this just a commercial reason? I.e., making driving uncomfortable by encouraging people to purchase FSD subscriptions?

I live in an urban environment, it would seem like a major pain in the ass trying to park a Tesla with no gear stalk (and no FSD) by going into the screen or the emergency selector above your head.

Why the fuck are all the 7-11s closing in DC? Apparently the one near the intersection of 14th and Spring, the one closer to Target (also on 14th) could also possibly be closing. Last year the one in Mt. Pleasant closed. The fryo also closed. So did &pizza.

What is going on?
