> I bet every single human who has someone in their life they love would be happy to make some changes to ensure the safety of said people.

I'll take that bet. I'm personally quite happy to make those changes but we just went through a global pandemic and asking people to wear masks was an abrogation of their rights. And now you want to get people to "make some changes", give up some convenience, get them out of their cars and into buses because we're choking the planet with greenhouse gases? And you think there's even a chance people are going to listen you when they haven't in the past 6 decades?

I'm sorry, maybe I had a different experience with people and of Covid than you, but I don't see that happening.

You make a good point. Considered in this light, it's amazing we can get most people to stop at red traffic lights.
