Haha no, they would call the literally space-age thing that saved their lives "price gouging" and point as Apple's profits as evidence that every human is entitled to this service for free.
- adastra22 4y agoEvery human is entitled for this service. This should be free, like GPS.
- dymk 4y agoIf the government was running it, maybe.
- nickpp 4y agoEven government-run services cost money (usually much more than private ones). And the government gets its money from us, not from the sky.
- ChadNauseam 4y agoYeah, but the government can collect money via taxes, which allows it to solve coordination problems that would be more difficult for private companies to solve.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoThe birds aren't cheap, the rescue coordination centers (they know who to talk to, they have no ability to actually go into the field--although that's not always needed. Garmin recently mentioned one--SOS comes in "found lost child". 25 minutes later, SOS comes in "lost child"; all they had to do is direct them to where the other was) have to be staffed--and both are private.
