The whole point of the regulation is to decrease the use SUVs in the city for health and safety reasons. If cost doesn’t matter to them, then this regulation is meaningless. It seems the people who pushed for this, and presumably most of the people who voted for it, disagree with you.
I can’t speak for Parisians, but here in the us my experience is that it’s the people who drove the big cars who bitch the most about the price of gas.
So the added cost would definitely be a disincentive.

It is usually implied that when people talk about their experiences, they talk about things they have personally experienced.
If the discussion is about the general “left/right” divide, and you are speaking more specifically about the left/right divide in your own country, it make sense to indicate that and what country you are from (of course, you’ve avoided mentioning what country you are from).
I wonder why did you think I lived in the US in the first place.
I wonder why you weren’t more specific about what you were talking about when we are talking about the general left/right divide.
You also didn’t say “in my country” but simply that it’s being ignored. And I showed it’s not.
The article also explicitly points to the meetoo movement as the origin of the divergence, so if anything its blaming woman movement.
What issue affecting you is being ignored? And no one of merit is saying that you are the reason for the world’s woes. And while there are some extremist feminists that are actually misandrists, again it’s really almost no one.
You’re kind of defeating the point here by talking about all of these other social media sites that are available, none of which you claim has been dismantled. . .and even rejecting some of them as not being good only because enough people aren’t using them. This is not a dismantling of the system.
It is wasteful by way of being botted up to the point of inefficiency
Twitter was a bot fest long before Musk took it over. And that isn’t a problem with billionaires, but an inherent problem with system itself that can be, and is, exploited by plenty of people.
Okay so twitter is useless. What about all of the other social media sites out there?
600 posts a day makes it nearly useless for organizing?
This is just repeating the claim. Can you explain how so?
No. I don’t see how it was “dismantled.” Can you explain?
“well I work for a short time and then just quit and do nothing.”
I can see why they might ask the question. I don’t expect people to put the business above themselves, but I certainly would be less likely to hire someone if I knew they were just going to quit after a few months because they have no ambition.
Can you expand on how billionaires are dismantling social media?
I don’t see, after having read the article, how one could consider it a threat. How did you come to question?
The claim is that it would be a global fuck up, maybe implying that it wouldn’t be limited to Russia/nato. Not that this wouldn’t be messy in and of itself, if Russia were to invade, I suspect they would be left out on their own by everyone else. They’re already struggling with Ukraine. I doubt anyone is going to want to step up and help them against NATO. They would probably lose a lot of the external but indirect support they are getting right now because countries would be hesitant to support a country against the us.
If it’s just “war is bad” then yeah, kind of a duh statement.
Can you expand?
One of the most fun nights of my life is when I went to visit a friend at his university, we took some and he immediately ended up with some girl and disappeared on me.
So I decided that I would just wander his campus looking for parties. I took shots with frat boys, danced with some gays guy out dressed in drag, played chess with some guy on the quad (he would have destroyed me even if I was sober), found another friend and went and partied with her and her lesbian friends (“wait you’re a lesbian now?” “Maybe not sure”) and then made the biggest mistake of my life when I turned down joining them when I was making a hasty exit after I noticed one of the girls was eating the other out right next to me on the couch.
I drive a crv and have always known it as a crossover. Although funny that you mention compact spots, I looked it up one time to see if a crv counts and it does count as compact. Never the less I had a guy scold me for parking in the spot one time. His sedan definitely had a bigger foot print and he was right on the line, while I was comfortably in the middle of the spot.
I just looked down at the line between our cars and kind of raised my eyebrow at him while pointing out my car is smaller than his.
