You’ve got a point. In places where there’s no real alternative to driving, these protests can disrupt the lives of everyday people more than the bigwigs they’re aimed at. It’s like trying to throw a rock at a drone and hitting your neighbor’s window instead. The CEOs and politicians probably don’t even hear about it, while someone misses a crucial job interview or can’t say goodbye to their aunt. It’s a tough situation. The protesters want to be heard, but the people who really need to listen aren’t the ones getting inconvenienced. It’s a classic case of good intentions but maybe not the best execution, especially in areas where public transport is as rare as an honest politician.
Except afaik, they do glue protests in big cities where there are plenty of metros, buses, bicycles …
