I was just thinking about something like this. Instagram and TikTok are major offenders, not everyone wants their personal info blasted everywhere because they copied a link. It would be great to have an iOS shortcut that automatically removes them, it's something I'm going to look into.
Taxes? The same place tons of other stuff we buy as a society comes from. I expect the ballot measure this fall will pass, worst case they file bankruptcy and will probably need to reduce service
Source? The biggest source of environmental issues from EVs, tire wear from a heavier vehicle, absolutely applies to AVs. VC subsidizing low prices only to hike them later isn't exactly "without subsidy" - we pay for it either way
