Taking that info and saying it's a good idea to go run in the forest fire smoke is kind of bad logic. Like I think you were pretty sure it gave you super powers at one point.

Well I'm sure glad you missed the entire argument of that several post discussion and have clearly moved on to bigger and better things.

So by this logic we should ignore what's going on in Hong Kong right now because "the roots are too deep" and instead launch an expensive campaign to stop stubbed toes in China.

But maybe there are like 20 million people taking 100 million trips a year in a car. So it's not actually that much compared to the relatively few scooter users.

I like how you conveniently ignore the hard reality of it.
Not many people ride scooters compared to cars. It literally dumbs your problem down a couple of hundreds of thousands worth. Did you know one person dies every year from the cinnamon challenge? AND if we pro-rate the actual hours of people doing the cinnamon challenge, 10,000x the people die per hour of doing the cinnamon challenge than driving. Anti-cinnamon here we go!

Frankly I can't believe your insensitivity to our cinnamon problem.
