It was only a matter of time before an irate tradie threw hands at them.

We don't get paid to sit in traffic.

People don't think like that though.

A lot of people don't, no. And that's the problem.... which is why I was saying it's a shame. We are in for far more grief than almost anyone realises... the scale of the effects is well outside what most people can really imagine. And it can be avoided if we take concerted action.... even at this late stage. But we're not.

Only because there aren't enough protests. If we had more protests and caused more tradies to be late then they would think that way.

You don't get to decide how people think.

You can change the way they think by protesting. That's the whole purpose of protesting.
