I wish for an economic system in which all causes could be backpropagated to the source and the source be held responsible.
If for example I lost 2 hours of my time today because I had to fight with Comcast, Comcast should be charged for 2 hours worth of my hourly salary.
If I lost a job offer because of bad interview performance because of heating issues because of bad maintainence on part of landlord, landlord should be charged for the difference in time until I get my next job offer or the difference in salary until the next job offer.
If I had to fight health insurance for 5 hours on the phone due to incorrect bill and that caused me additional stress that caused my condition to worsen, health insurance should be held liable for the delta effects of that stress.
In this case the cellular operators in question would be held liable for the lost incomes of those drivers plus the lost incomes of passengers who lost money because they couldn't get to their destinations on time or missed flights and had to rebook them.
I know this level of backpropagation is hard to implement in the real world but it would be awesome if the entire world were one big PyTorch model and liabilities could be calculated by evaluating gradients.
