    If they really cared about children and the most vulnerable they’d be taking much firmer action about car pollution, especially near schools and hospitals

      Luckily we can do both. Push for better air quality, but don’t dismiss achievements that happen in other areas at the same time.

      Whataboutism, and I’d argue vapes and cigarettes are more damaging long term than cars passing by

          Ok but that’s about overall air pollution, while air pollution around schools is going to reduce that it’s not addressing the entire issue those stats are based on

      Sounds good. Tell you what, why don’t you write a complete list of every problem that needs sorting, objectively ranked in order of importance, and we can make sure no-one addresses problem #2 until problem #1 is fixed.

      Perfect is the enemy of good.
