Comment Re: Yes we have, but you won't fix it. (Score 1) 128

Well first of all, I hate shopping and I see it as.a waste of time. If I need clothes I go to Costco or Walmart and grab a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and then they are warn for 10 years until they have holes in them. Grocery shopping is a necessary evil but as long as the time can be minimized by going to one place and getting it all done then it is workable. I will buy 100 lbs of Kitty litter at once because it won't go bad and I don't want to do it again.. that's why it comes in 50 lb boxes.

For some reason we are failing to meet in the middle here, let me ask my question one more time that you still have not answered. If you have kids that are in swimming class, it is very unlikely that there will be an Olympic sized swimming pool in your neighborhood. They can very easily have swim 3 evenings and 1 weekend day every week. If that pool is 30 minutes away, three evenings and a quarter of the weekend are already shot for doing your walk to the store. Add music lessons and pretty much half the weekend is shot. Add a technology job that requires working during maintenance windows and there goes maybe another weeknight and Sunday afternoon. So what do you do? Just fill the scraps of remaining time you have to walking to the store, which now you only have time a couple days a week to do?

You actually raised the real concern without realizing it. If over 10% of people don't trust EVs than that will make the 10% of ICEs available for only the wealthiest of people who want them. Also, gas stations are not going away. There are still lawn mowers, snow blowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, generators, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, etc etc. And the economy will still rely on gas.

The things I do for money, I'll never understand
I used to be quite critical but now I find I'm cynical
A lady with a starving baby miles away from me
No problems there, just life and death
What the hell is wrong with me
And everybody else

No questions asked
Just get receipts and write them off
Expenses - taxes are a bitch these days
Yet the lady and the baby starve
Waiting for a contribution in a UNICEF box
In a drugstore in this ugly little town

The things I do for money
I'll never understand
The world is just a marble
In the palm of my hand
The palm of my hand
The palm of my hand
The things I do for money
I'll never understand
The world is just a marble
In the palm of my hand

The things I waste my time on, I'll never understand
I used to be quite practical but now I find I'm tactical
I scrape and scheme and struggle hard
To get myself ahead
Have no concern for anyone but me

The things I do for money
I'll never understand
The world is just a marble
In the palm of my hand
The palm of my hand
The palm of my hand
The palm of my hand
The palm of my hand

The real problem flew right over your head (pun intended). Vehicles are at full peak use so what you see today is what you you get. Maybe one accident per billion packages delivered or whatever. The drones on the other hand are a growing technology. If there are hundreds in the air now there will be thousands one day. So it causes one to think.. if it happens today than it will happen at least ten times more once it gets fully ramped up. Perhaps people were lucky in escaping injury and damage this time but will they stay as lucky as this happens more and more?

You keep saying "you just walk everywhere" but you have also said that every neighborhood doesn't have anything. I'm just trying to ascertain what percentage of time is spent driving and what percentage walking. Truthfully, I have felt run ragged time-wise even driving everywhere.
