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.
Right, arson is generally illegal but when we start talking about “crimes” we can also bring up “morality” and “ethics” and it becomes a much more productive discussion.
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.

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.

You people are so far gone it’s sad.
Really puts things into perspective how smart the average individual is these days.
The United States is so far gone it’s sad.
I agree public education is abysmal.
Public education is fine, but people only get out of it what they put into it.
We’ve been conditioned not to value education, so that’s what’s happening.
Kind of makes me want to get back into academia. I’m tired of being surrounded by morons.

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.
Lol, thanks for identifying yourself. I always like to get a head start and block deluded people before they get too annoying.
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.
