Holy, Paris is based
Banning e-scooters is dumb because they replace cars, but the triple parking charges for large SUVs is amazing
So based.
the e-scooters are not banned, the free sharing one are.
The problem is that the company doing free sharing did not penalized user enough for parking their e-scooters improperly (in the middle of the sidewalk).
Because of the uncivility of the users, they banned it.
The SUV parking-fee hike is almost comically punitive - the calculation is a bit complicated but it can reach €225 for six hours
PS: Why are people downvoting this? Are people here really so fragile and hypersensitive that they have to stamp on the slightest suspicion of dissidence from the One Approved Opinion? This was a completely neutral observation and FWIW I APPROVE of the fee. Jeez. Get a life, people
Good, we don't actually want !orphancrushing@lemmy.world
Personally I think that your plan would be counterproductive not to mention very wrong, so I will take "honestly" to mean "figuratively". Otherwise agreed.
other poster downvote other poster must detect enemies ME HATE ENEMIES me also downvote
Haha that's exactly it
Yep, banning e-scooters is a stupid idea that no one has been able to explain properly to me.
They only ever talk about "annoying kids go too fast where they shouldn't" without realising ANNOYING KIDS WILL ANNOY YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
It is only about the (masses of) shared ones. Which end up everywhere in every orientation, including rivers etc. And those companies simply do not care. People suck because they do not put them back and the companies suck because they let that happen.
