its ridiculous from the onset. The auto makers are not required to make sure the buyers wont one day drive drunk, same for the gas stations or makers of the gas for the cars. Electric and Water companies are not held liable because someone turned their house into an illegal pot farm. Spoon manufacturers are not held liable because someone got fat using their utensils. This isnt 1999 anymore. Denying someone online access is borderline death sentence anymore. So many services have been pushed to online-only in the last several years. Two-Factor authentication has only increased this need. Until 1929 a first class letter was just $0.02. Over the last 40 years there has been a rapid pace of postage increasing while the quality and delivery times plummet. 3 years ago it took just 1 day for a letter mailed to an address within my city to arrive. Now postage is almost 20 cents more and it takes as much as 10 days to reach a house just 3 blocks away. I have literally had letters come back with yellow stickers saying undeliverable to an address in my neighborhood, that I have to turn around and place it in the goddamn mailbox myself. Totally unreliable. This in turn is driving the demand for online filings, online communication, online shopping, and online bill payments. There are some things you cant even buy in a big box store anymore. The only way to get it is by online shopping, usually on amazon. Like it or not, online access is no longer a luxury or entertainment, its damn near as big a requirement as access to water and shelter. With this rediculous logic the state and federal highway employees should all face criminal charges because the interstates are being used to transport heroin/fentanyl up from Mexico and down from Canada. Why arent they being sued?
