Solving those barriers is not the role of companies. Solving those barriers is the role of the State and of education.

If america has a vicious "putting people into boxes" problem, maybe they should start solving that problem by providing universal education, not dump the massive imbalance onto companies and then blame them for not taking care of the issue.

Besides, it would actually helped if america also stopped with this racial class bollocks. You are all americans. They constantly remind people that these boxes exist, then say "oh you should not see these boxes". How about you stopping talking about the freaking boxes? All that DEI does is to prominently remind everybody not only that these boxes exist, but if you belong to one of these boxes, you might get a cookie, or not. Gee, I wonder how it's possiblthat this increases inter-box tensions?

We tried that. The people who despite cancel culture talked about Critical Race Theory for an entire election cycle and effectively cancelled that education.

How is Chase going to identify if a Zelle transfer is social media related? I built a fence and split the cost 3-ways with the adjoining neighbors who paid me via Zelle. I've used Zelle to get payment for items I've sold in person to people I know. Most of these people I also have contact via social media.

Obviously they can see the transactions on both ends, they'll be looking for a correlation of a receipt of multiple payments with the same amount etc. and then some sort of correlation to a product.

To clarify, TCO might be cheaper for some people with an EV including all factors, but that's not what people think about when buying.

Unfortunately the TCO thing is spot on. It costs me 1/3 (roughly a nickel per mile) to operate my EV vs my ICE (.16 cents per mile depending on gas prices at the time which are higher now). This doesn't even take into account the lack of maintenance yet either.

While not cheap up front, you will recoup this fairly quickly based on usage or cost in your location.
