“But tires”

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity’s existance… which should we choose?

    No, that’s not poisoning.

    If you get killed by a tsunami, that’s not water poisoning for fuck’s sake.

      Fits the definition of poisoning.

      Medical dictionary: Definition Poisoning occurs when any substance interferes with normal body functions after it is swallowed, inhaled, injected, or absorbed.

      So if you drown, it would be, if you get crushed, I would say it doesn’t fall into poison

        Good to know we’re not operating in reality. Don’t feed the trolls, people.

          You’re living in a false reality apparently my friend. That’s just the definition of a word. Maybe find a different term.

        Jesus Christ, the mental gymnastics and goal post moving.

        Drowning is not water poisoning, and if you can’t figure out why, that’s no one’s problem but your own.

          Yeah, most here would hate that Dickens used the term to mean distrub a function as well. To poisons ones sleep didn’t mean to kill him, just to do something that interferes with an ongoing task. It’s just a word. I didn’t define it 🤷

            The dictionary doesn’t define words. Words are defined by authors and audiences. Your audience has rejected this particular definition of the word. Continue to use it at your peril.

              So you’re saying it has been poisoned… Sorry, I had to. Hope your having a good day.
