I'm the condescending one and yet you quote yourself talking down to these people as if they aren't choosing them because they're better than all the other options all things considered? Come on. Have some self awareness. Not only that but between traffic, slip and fall hazards, crime and everything else charging the battery is probably the least dangerous part of the job. >There's something very HN about trying to reduce such a massively complex issue to "jUsT giVe thEm tRaShCanS" though And "clearly these people are misinformed of the long tail risks, let's solve that by subsidizing nicer stuff that has a different risk profile" isn't? This isn't a massively complex issue. People use the product and they like the product. It's their life. Butt out.

>if they aren't choosing them because they're better than all the other options all things considered? So you don't know what it means when someone has to do something to put food on their table as I stated multiple times. > clearly these people are misinformed of the long tail risks If you still haven't understood that these people are well aware of the risks and don't have a choice, I don't know what to say. > This isn't a massively complex issue. People use the product and they like the product. It's their life. Butt out. People are dying. And it's not rich people in high rises with the state of the art in fire prevention, it's working class people in old buildings known for horrific deadly outcomes from fires that wouldn't even have made the apartment bulletin board in new construction. - Yeah... so the forced virtue signaling outrage angle isn't working out this time, maybe just drop it. Maybe you should have saved it from someone not from the 3rd world, who can see faux concern from 100 miles away.
