“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
when was it tried a million other times, dipass?
See the article below about record SUV sales in 2021.
That’s global sales. Nice to try to use obviously unrelated statistics as a cudgel to stop climate action though. Very cool!
If this worked a million other times, you'd see some widespread effect.

I misread this:
As "when it was tried."
The original comment was still far away from getting the point, which is that there are tons of examples of similar strategies not working (see speeding tickets doing a poor job of getting people to drive the speed limit). You don't need to try this exact thing a million times to look at similar things and question its value.
those things are not similar and you should shut up and read the book that has been recommended to you dozens of times by now
If a bunch of people who've read the book can't come up with a convincing explanation of how deflating SUV tires is supposed to do anything, I'm not going to get that from the book, either.
:PIGPOOPBALLS:
it's been explained multiple times. did you lose the ability to read? i know american literacy is in the toilet but you're just ridiculous.
there's an audio version linked in the book club threads, go listen to the book, jackass. don't talk to me again until you have. generally adult books are not able to be compressed into 2 paragraph forum comments.
Fuuuuuuuuck off.
The explanation provided is dubious at best and meaningless correlation at worst. Others have pointed this out. People don't automatically agree with what you say just because you said it. Learn how to convince people instead of this online "I guess you can't READ" bullshit.

Almost like deflating tires of SUVs as a means of climate action hasn’t been tried a million other times and is different than giving someone a speeding ticket. Weird.
Lol then what's the comment about "this has worked a million other times" supposed to even mean? This is Looney Tunes land
I’ve never said anything about this working a million times at all. As far as I know you are the only one who brought up “million other times” in reference to your theory on incentives and ticketing and putting people in jail for drugs or whatever. I’ve never made a claim that this has been “tried a million times”
And now I’d appreciate it if you’d stop engaging with me. At this point you aren’t even making sense and responding to me as if I claimed something that you brought into the conversation to begin with.
