You just need social stigma on bad tires. It's the single most important thing on your vehicle, for literally all the reasons out there.

Right after we have a social stigma for people that keep voting to have the government involved in every bit of their lives.

How about when the market fails customers, still no government involvement? Food and drugs regulation, environment stuff (you are here) and so on?

The US military-industrial complex is the single largest institutional hydrocarbon consumer and greenhouse gas emitter on the planet. It would be pretty stupid for me to listen to the government's advice about how best we should preserve the environment.

China has been the largest ghg emitter for the last 20 years, and currently emits more than twice as much as the us. Gdp spent on defense is similar as a fraction of gdp (slightly more in the us). So realistically the Chinese military is by far a larger emitter of ghg than the us military.

We can’t successfully shame each other to avoid Hot Pockets and big brands of cereal that acutely poison our kids.

You think people are going to tread-peek?!

I agree with you, but we’re both going to be disappointed.

I've tried social stigma on lack-of-using-turn-signals, and have been about as disappointed as you are likely to be hah.
