    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.

        reclaim and sell

        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.

                The United States is so far gone it’s sad.

                I agree public education is abysmal.
