Comment Good luck with that! (Score 1) 120

Electric cars have relatively shorter range (even fully charged) than gas burners, and even with "fast" charging it can still take a long time (half-hour or more) just to recharge to full, even with the fastest available chargers. Losing a half-hour is a disaster for drivers, never mind the companies.

Unless and until the electrics can a: do at least 250miles on one charge AND be recharged in five minutes (battery swapping anybody), making electric cars mandatory will be a disaster for the industry.

This appears elsewhere written by Anonymous Coward: It's 100% accurate and I think it deserves a level 5 judgement.

Unfortunately, it's not just their lives at risk.

Vaccines are not 100% and not everyone can get vaccinated safely. That's why it's so important for as many people as possible to get vaccinated.

If you're only motivated by self-interesting: Groups of idiotic anti-vaxxers are the perfect breeding ground for variants of the disease that the vaccine doesn't cover. That will put you at risk as well.

Comment There's a word: balance. (Score 2) 170

If you show loyalty to your customers and treat them well, they stay with you. If you don't, they walk. This is NOT a new phenomenon. I pretty much gave up watching TV after Star Trek was canceled, for example.

Once a company gets a reputation for mistreating the customers they already have, it makes it a lot harder for them to convince people to become new customers so that they can be mistreated to attract new customers.
