"Metal" is a bit of a stretch. I'd always put them in the "Christian hard rock" genre myself

I guess the difference is that a "jury" would not be worrying about the optics WRT their their election cycle. I would prefer that a panel of impartial experts be involved rather than random citizens though.

Look again at why these people no longer have work available to them.

If advancements in technology mean that a machine can do the job more efficiently than a human, then the value of that labour still exists, we just need to legislate a redistribution of it now that human employment is no longer doing it directly.

Once we update our tax codes to ensure that the wealth of automation is shared equitably, the question then becomes "what do you want to do with your free time?"

Anyone got a video of the rest of this set? Searching for it just brings up page after page of genocide apologists getting upset over the warmup.

Counter-proposal: All law enforcement measures and punishments must be assessed and approved by an independent board of psychologists.

We're not talking about fraud, tax evasion, or burglary where people sit down and plan a crime, making a cost-benefit analysis, and saying "you know what, good idea, but the cross product of likelihood that we get caught and penalty if we do is too high, I'm gonna sit this one out".

How about you take the extra 180K per person that you're proposing we flush down the prison system, and direct it into better mental health services, and improved welfare systems, which will actually reduce the instances of such spur-of-the-moment crimes.

Not a clue to be honest. My experience is all from turning up to deal with cars that are already well involved.

Only thing I will say is that Hollywood car explosions are a myth. Fuel tanks will flare off, but don't actually explode(with the exception of LPG in rare circumstances where the pressure relief fails). Tyres do explode, but aren't a major hazard unless you're within a metre or two of them when they do.

I would solve this problem in the opposite way. Install some much lower barriers(eg 2.5m) which make it painfully apparent that you aren't going to get anything other than a car under it.

A truck driver isn't going to keep driving if the barrier is clearly at face height.

Even inside a garage, the difficulty in fully extinguishing the car is somewhat irrelevant. Suppression of the fire, ie, containing it so that nothing else catches fire, is identical for ICE and BEV. It just takes longer to fully extinguish a battery fire.

I think you're missing the joke here?

Lol, I'm saying this as a firefighter. I've attended a couple of dozen vehicle fires in my time, and not once has the vehicle been in a salvageable state by the time we arrive. Unless it catches fire in front of a permanent-crew station, it will be ruined by the time anyone arrives.

Whether it takes 30 minutes or an hour to make things safe after the fact is a negligible concern.

From a consumer perspective, it's pretty irrelevent. If a car catches fire, it's a write-off anyway. The only difference is how long it takes firefighters to extinguish what used to be a car once they arrive.

If attacking a sovereign country is legal, that means your legal system is broken, not that the attack is justified.
