@steadystatemcr @BrentToderian At the end of the day it seems a good combination of:

1/ masses of ignorant people
Who will still win by sheer numbers and the deliberate population increase by Governments paying Child Benefit (how nice of them helping parents grow more to be like their busy irresponsible parents)
It's like the arms race again (but with people again as bullets 🚄 or payers of bullets growing more densely than ever)

and

2/ people will always pay more (look at all the things you're already paying for)... rather than walk, cycle, electric scooter, train etc)
So while dis-incentivising seems to make sense it's always been the user or average person are just weak, tired, careless - just not responsible adults
AND

3/ to be fair a of conditional dependence (like getting to work on time, without wearing protective gear etc).... is the stress that drives it (pardon the pun)
Teacher, Police, Doctors ALL on strike two years (June I think) what else can they do at the end but go to work or near-suicuide to show the disparity / inequality in simply being alive.

And more points I'm sure...

One of which is you probably won't reply either! i.e. People don't want to talk about it - it's stressful on top and even between us.

Not being funny but as a best case on the educated Fediverse it's happening over and over again here with how people talk to each other, say but don't do, not willing to accept the risky we are by default inside of.

People are the weakest link, same as users on servers... I've asked them why they don't put notices up or what not repel YouTube/Google even more...

The answer is generally people can't accept LESS or more HARD WORK or PEOPLE WORK... and I started not blaming them a since those clever and with more time do little but jabber about it from their luxury / rented homes paying endlessly...

People can't really accept less and maybe there is no other way like sharing house a lot more or doing work somehow to free up someone in the house to do things like Greta... or that talking about it is the loving of each other needed as the underlying way... less bandwidth, less American servers for causes, Less zoom and mainstream data ETC... a big messy chain to ditch almost or go back to basics...

Nothing works, mainstream "Sharing" buttons all but labelled as "snooping" buttons which are sharing with direct opposition or Google / bigtech who spreads it all behind our backs like flight websites that have a different name but share data real-time to push up prices.

No it's 'helping' myself or 'helping' others in using things in the easiest way - one has to tap head and say no don't give them data, because that's worse than doing nothing (like putting some shields up or finding something else totally to do that is not data-mining / not saving your data with them / mapping things and enabling more control long term - and for your kids)

People (not just car drivers) don't want to take the high road, learn every day, do the homework. Even a lot of scholars chasing their career path or designed input output - you think it's all going to be used for good - they twist everything and use it for bad - same as the material world - doesn't matter what you say to those types.

So down we go with the will of those 'guiding us' down even faster... and of course Government is there to incentive that - they are not there to put themselves out of a job- same as everyone else! And this is where I think jobs need to end and not be fixed to one's existence because people create bad work for themselves....

ANYWAY - IF YOU REPLY I'LL CHALK YOU UP AS ABLE TO READ MORE THAN MOST....
