The answer may surprise your children, but not your grandchildren who will be sadly too familiar with the mess we've created for them.
I'm not that interested in the alternative world they envision either. They can trade all their freedom for safety after we are done with ours.
You don't think Elon Musk and Bill Gates have noticed that they are completely dependent on you and your filthy little consumers and worker bees in order to have their wealth and prestige and power?
Of course they've noticed it and of course they don't like it. They are taking steps to eliminate the dependency.
Can't be done. They rely on vast global supply chains for all the perks of modern civilization just like everyone else, and that cannot simply be replaced, even if they felt like spending all their money doing so.
Every year these exact same people say we've passed peak oil. It can't be both.
We haven't, and it isn't.

I’m not gonna judge or preach. But, let’s face the facts. This is what’s happening. On this score, we’re no different than a termite mound or a species of squirrel.
If everyone gives up their free agency and lives more like termites we can carry on longer before it all collapses. But it is going to collapse in the end eventually regardless.
That's both now (they could have done fiber a long time ago) and also the best case. Remember, "up to 10 Gbps speeds" (from your link) means anything from 0 bps to 10 Gbps.
And if you are going to replace an existing coax plant with fiber, it would make sense to replace the least capable parts first. This would be true through all the DOCSIS generations. I doubt it is economically effective today to replace the parts that can actually do multi-gigabit. Anecdotally speaking I think the demand for 10Gbs residential internet is low, and probably will be for some time.
The invisible hand of the market in action. No reason cable companies could not have upgraded to fiber networks and/or had IPTV plus screaming fast internet. If cable has reasonable prices, decent equipment and invented in their future. It might have been a different outcome. Oh well, c'est la vie...
For new builds fiber obviously makes sense, but for the many places already serviced by coax DOCSIS 4.0 supports 10Gb/s.

Let people pay the actual, unsubsidized price, and you'll see things change pretty quickly.
Indeed, that would be fixed the very next election.
But I was specifically referring to the sort of ginormous pick-up trucks that are rather popular in America. Most of them have a 0-60 time of eventually.
A lot of those ginormous trucks also have 400-500HP and are not as slow as you may think they are.
My only guess is drugs.
Also Craigslist, Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, etc.
Ceasing operations would imply anyone who was working for the company who could do such visits was immediately fired at the same time.
I was referring to someone working for the company that kicked them out. People still seem to "work" there.
Also what do you mean "Hotel"? Hotel is the antithesis of Sonder and Air-bnb. Those whole platforms are built around not being a hotel and not having the comforts of a hotel. Your use of that word makes me fundamentally think you don't know what is going on here.
From the article "The company describes itself as a global operator of "premium, design-forward apartments and intimate boutique hotels serving the modern traveler". Not to mention Marriot is most definitely a hotel chain and I feel no need to play semantic games to pretend they are not.
