Could have been a church too. I have a few relatives that bypassed their families,
Bypassing one's family in a last will and testament is not necessarily a mark of senility.
Sometimes it is a mark of sanity.
It is when you replace them with an even more greedy bloodsucking group of people (i.e. a church).

The government DOES provide it. They do so through legislation that requires hire car businesses to have a certain percentage of vehicles on the roads at all times that are accessible, the cost is then passed on through higher average fees across all vehicles.

no, generally the crapware they ship with it pays for it, actually it usually more than pays for it to the point where coming without windows actually is more expensive for most PC Makers.
