My hesitation with hybrids is that I keep all the associated maintenance costs of an ICE engine. Now I have two power trains and energy systems to maintain instead of just one.
Being a pessimist is easy and lazy. You don’t have to lift a finger. Things can actually get better and do when people believe it and do even just a little bit.
So basically everyone affected will have their hours cut without a change in hourly wage. All these people are then going to have to find a second job to avoid losing 20% of their income. How is that not going to happen?
I see it more as idealism vs pragmatism. We need both. I think older people tend to be conservative because they've become jaded by idealists and/or politics in general. To many, conservatism is that government and politics screw everything up, so we need less of it.
Remember that you are the product and not the customer for these companies.
Google’s customers are the advertisers who pay and (I’d argue) those who want to show up in search results. You have to either pay for ads or play their algorithm game to be relevant because of their monopoly position on search. It’s basically the same story for Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc.

Just like with IP traffic, companies terminate calls through multiple providers. While bandwidth might be the primary termination provider for 911 for a company, the calls can be routed through others. That backup route, however, may not have locale information so the call might have to be taken initially at a national call center so the locale can be determined, after which it is properly forwarded to the local 911 center. Not ideal since it can add precious time to getting help, but at least the call can get through.
