From my side, this feels rushed rather than thought through which explains why reactions are split We’ll see how people react over time.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Time will tell. That’s just my read on it.
Reaction: Why am I scared? Probably because one time my grandma got pulled over when I was a kid and she told the cop that her bad driving was because of me and he came to my window. I didnt do anythi
Real talk, this solves one problem while creating another which turns this into more of a debate Curious how this plays out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Looking at this, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what changes the context. Time will tell.
