I completely agree with you, but people should be aware of consumer-owned cooperatives. They are quite big in Europe, I don’t know about America.

How about not destroying people’s lives and childhoods because of you think change is scary.

It is most definitely a strawman to frame my comment as considering the companies “infinitely altruistic”, no matter what lies behind the strawman. It doesn’t refute my statistics but rather tries to make me look like I make an extremely silly argument I’m not making, which is the defintion of a strawman argument.

That’s one way of strawmanning your way out of a discussion.

You need to first ask yourself if it more important to put blame than to minimize risk.

“Autonomous vehicles could potentially reduce traffic fatalities by up to 90%.”

“Autonomous vehicle accidents have been recorded at a slightly lower rate compared with conventional cars, at 4.7 accidents per million miles driven.”

Rust protects you from segfaulting and trying to access deallocated memory, but doesn’t protect you from just deciding to keep everything in memory. That’s a design choice. The original developers probably didn’t expect such a deluge of users.
