Polluting a neighborhood is poisoning them.

This is an act of violence

Act accordingly

Really surprised that noone has gone and poured some sugar in them yet. The us discourse is so violence centered, with people claiming what they think is an adequate response to an infringement of their rights, but when push comes to shove nothing happens.

I'm guessing that there are security guards.

They also burn methane gas, not gasoline, which means that sugar probably isn't an effective sabotage technique.

Did you know

That pouring sugar into engines is an officially sanctioned move in the widely distributed cia citizen sabotage manuals America distributed to countries fighting fascism in the 20th century?

Proof

I did not. Thanks for the link

Unfortunately, pouring sugar into a gas tank will do just about zero damage to an engine. It might clog up the fuel filter, or maybe the pump, but the engine would be fine. Bleach on the other hand….

In the name of love?

Move fast and break things!

Rules were made to be broken!

Musk's entire business model is getting government welfare to support his flagrant violations of safety regulations.

Laws are for plebs.

Fuck Musk and all, but how the hell is this c/technology

More Perfect Union released a video on this a few weeks ago. Worth watching: https://youtu.be/3VJT2JeDCyw
