Ignoring the two acs below - they're both assholes who have no clue, and if they're not trolls from Russia or elsewhere, are posting from their basements.

No, cusco, it's not "business ethics". It *was* the MBAs, Friedmanites all, who decided that ROI was, to paraphrase Lombardi, "ROI isn't everything, it's the only thing." Products and services? No, ROI. And ROI must be this quarter. Destroy unions, ship jobs overseas to semi-slave labor? ROI!

An "erotic chat" mode would take jobs away from women (mostly older women) who staff all those "talk to a hot babe" phone lines.

Laugh, right. So, would you hire an older woman who'd been a "tradwife" after her asshole husband dumped her for a younger trophy? What job-oriented skills would she have?

And yes, a let friend of mine did that for a while, many years ago.

Since you haven't even begun to think about it, let me cut to the chase: it's STUPID, in space, to have a ship from Earth to the Moon. Do you fly to another city, and have the jetliner land at your hotel downtown?

*SPACE*ships should go from station to station, and shuttles/landers from planet to station.

Gee, you sound just like the American car dealers claiming no one was interested in Toyota's first hybrd (which was why Toyota dealers couldn't keep them in stock, the Prius sold so fast).

I *just* got a used hybrid minivan last year. I *could* have gotten one in '13, the last time I bought a vehicle... but hybrid minivans were *only* available in Europe, because of regulatory capture of the US gov't by the oil industry.

Right now, I'm very happy - *all* the local driving we do is on electric. I filled the tank over a month ago, and it's not quite down to three-quarters. Enjoy paying however much it is per gallon.
