The "where" I was referring to was, yes, by jurisdiction, but also roads versus trails, and public vs private property.

Depends where you ride, iirc

I mean sure, but the things people are prone to stealing physically, when they wouldn't otherwise but for price, tend to be those they must have just to live. That's not the sort of consumption we can ethically reduce.

The comment I responded to was regarding climate change and resource consumption, and piracy's "impact" on them, so ...

Where the hell have you been? Even I've already heard about this tyranical oligarch. Haiti has no effective government, and this fascist is largely to blame.

Nope. Climate change is a pollution issue. Reducing consumption can reduce pollution, but paying or not paying for a digital copy of something has effectively zero cost in the form of natural resources or pollution.

Everything I needed to know about school, I learned the first time I saw they would fire women over this stuff.

Californians are the reasons I left California. Just like Americans are the reason I want to leave this country more and more each day of my life, but still, nothing about that first issue has changed for the better since I left.

Seriously, where are the stop-blocks, and why is that curb so low?

Indeed

Okay, but now we all need shirts saying "I'mma non-profit whoreganization" and/or "support your local non-profits".

I thought about spewing some bull-shit about expecting money, versus expecting free meals, versus expecting sex or nudes or whatever, but lets be real, none of us gets an excuse for any of it.

More EVs sold by China in Europe or the US means more EV's made. No other country is producing enough EV's, let alone cheap ones, to make up the difference. More EV sales would mean more money those companies have to research and produce other Green products.

Also, the tarrifs I'm complaining about aren't Carbon-related, nor imposed by China(where on earth did you even get that absurd idea?), but they would stack in an awful manner.
