  • Part is lower profit margins. Part is total cost of ownership. Part is recharging them. If I don’t have a charging station at my place of residence, I have to drive somewhere find an open charging station and spend time waiting for it to charge. There are fast charging stations but they cost more (total cost of ownership) and they still aren’t as fast as filling a gas tank (time is money). Depending on where the charging station is, I might be stuck there just waiting for it recharge.




  • While I agree with the essence of what you are saying. I want to say, if you have insurance the “bill” might be hundreds, but my share might only be 20 usd, if anything at all. If my “bill” was thousands, I might see my share be a couple hundred usd at most. It is possible for it to be far less then a couple hundred.

    The other thing people don’t mention is, if I honestly can’t pay my share. I can walk into the billing office at the clinic /hospital and explain I honestly can’t afford my share. The hospital will bill the insurance what they can, then look for extra funding. Most hospitals have a charity fund. It is based on my income. If I am broke and make crap wages, my share might be reduced to 0 usd.

    Should we have a better system? Yes, but many times there are real options out there.











  • Arrogance. They’re attitude is basically “we built it, so it’s golden. If you can’t understand why we did it this way, then put the device down and flip burgers”.

    I saw this starting around the year 2005. I spoke out about it and told people stop buying /using products that aren’t logical and easy to use. If it takes a Google search and a YouTube video to figure out how to use it, then it was built wrong. Return the product and get a better one. No one listened to me. We have what we have.

    It sucks and it will only get worse. People will not change. People will keep buying shit products, then bitch that the products suck. Instead of returning the crap, they will keep it. Because they keep it the companies have zero reason to change.



  • While I understand your thought process, that in some way, people who actually destroy priceless works of arts and or historical sites. I understand your desire to beat the shit out of them…. OK, that wasn’t worded quite as well as I planned, but I think you get the idea. I understand somewhat of where you’re coming from, what I would ask for you to do is to read the article and just look more carefully because they didn’t destroy anything. The painting is covered by glass. they made a mess. Yes, probably destroyed part of the wall and may have stained it, which is obviously destruction. I will admit that. But the painting itself was unaffected. It’s covered completely. The protesters knew that before they ever threw anything at it.

    There was no actual destruction of the painting there.

    I do still understand where you’re coming from that people who do destroy priceless works of art, I do understand where you’re coming from, on wanting to beat the crap out of them.

    And I’m rereading what I just typed throughout this and damn my ability to type and speak coherently sucks today. Guess it’s just one of those days for me.
