The environmental movement needs more people on its side in order to make things change. You don't win people over by making their lives more difficult.
Target polluters, not the public.

He likely saved the kid’s life and kept him from being gunned down by police. A no-brainier I’d say.

Disappointed with Rory on the line he tried to take re US growth.
Surely he understands that if all of a country's growth goes to the top 1% it doesn't matter how good that growth is.
If Musk walks into a bar the sum net worth of all the bar patrons goes up by billions, but no-one got any richer.

Good thing he wasn't Brazilian or they would have shot him on sight.
The "massive blade" that another user mentioned is probably the single most useful tool a gardener could own. The police can have my Niwaki Hori Hori when they pry it from my cold dead soil-covered hands!

Why have all American shirts got chest pockets? Seems the only way (apart from custom made) to have a shirt without a chest pocket is to buy a shirt with a chest logo (eg. Polo).

The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that the Democrats don’t care if their guy is in there. It’s wrong no matter who does it.
For Republicans it’s ok if they do but not ok for the other side to do it.
It’s why they have no shame
