So did you already sold all your possessions to help the poor? That question is just as absurd as your comment.
There is no “solution” here, vehicles are not meant to be “solutions” by using their diminishing value to get money to help the poor. If they were, you would be saying this to EVERYONE that owns one, not even public transportation should be safe from your rhetoric.
This is the exact same mindset that makes fElon think that he can just give money to the UN and magically world hunger would be gone. No, simply no.
No… but if we’re going to burn these vehicles why not reclaim and sell them instead?
All of you “smart” people are making the same argument that the owners of these vehicles would have to choose to sell them. Did they choose to have them set on fire? No. So we can sell the vehicles instead of setting them on fire and use the money to help those in need.
Wow. It’s so sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but it’s to be expected at this point.
I doubt the same people who are capable of setting one on fire and running away have the criminal contacts to be capable of getting into the car fencing business.
There is no legal mechanism in place to “reclaim” these vehicles and force the owner to sell and redistribute to the poor, but I think you’d find widespread support here for something like that.
So instead they get torched, to send a message. I suspect it’ll get worse in the near future and I wouldn’t recommend buying one today to anyone who values their personal safety.
Instead of burning the cars without the owners’ permission, take them and sell them.
Use the money to help those in need.
Too many “smart people” in this comment chain assume that I mean asking the owners nicely to sell them. Did we ask the owners nicely to set the cars on fire?
If the car owners sold the car, they’d have cash but no car. And apparently they need a car, else why have it in the first place. So no, the money was never going to feed the poor.
Now the owners will get compensated by their insurance and can make a smarter choice for the replacement vehicle. Tesla owners get a message, and they only one hurt is the insurer.
This is not the solution.
Those could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.
Really puts into perspective how smart you people are for cheering for this. Bunch of knuckle-dragging neanderthals.
Why did I just think of this bullshit after reading your comment?
Because your herd mentality causes you to assume the crowd is correct no matter what.

Right. It doesn’t have to be the “same people.” It should be what the people who are cheering for burning these vehicles support instead.
Once enough people support it, then culture changes and we start to see progress. We’re not there yet though!

There’s also no legal mechanism for arson.
What’s your alternative? It has to be something that actually works

I do not condone violence but if you must act violently, at least target the dealership, not random people’s private property.

My god, every single one of you are repeating the same thing.
It’s insane how low average intelligence has gotten, but here we are.
This is why the disparity in wealth is what it is.
