      I don’t know how old you are and what experiences you’ve had but time, money and opportunity costs are serious.

        I’m not going to disagree but its also not the same as people getting hurt. When people say they were hurt financially, they add that qualifier because its not the same as actually getting hurt. You conveniently left out the qualifier because it paints a stronger image by saying people were hurt. You’re intentionally being deceptive. Stfu.

          Maybe it’s just where I am right now but being a family provider and seeing those burning cars for the cause of a first-worlder’s idea of rebellion is just painful to watch.

          I drive a basic vehicle but I try to take care of it as much as I can because a I and my family use it everyday and rely on it heavily for our daily living.

          It bothers me that I cannot get it serviced at the correct intervals, have the deep scratches repaired before they start to rust, replace the tires that are already 4 years old and attend to all the little details that would extend the life of the car and make it look a bit more presentable.

          And here I see expensive cars, cars I could not even dream of buying, being purposely burnt just to “send a message” to the CEO of the car’s manufacturer.

          It is such a silly waste, such a decadent display.
