> Heavier users of the road ways end up contributing more to the maintenance of the public good.

Heavier users aren't causing the damage though. Heavy vehicles like busses and semi's cause the most damage.

Apple doesn't track anywhere close to the amount of data that Google collects. Equating them is very disingenuous, IMO.

I determine when to change the oil in my car based on how the engine sounds.

That 2022 car has maybe 12 more years before the battery will require replacing, assuming it degrades 1% a year so hopefully prices do drop.

I doubt everything is equal. AVs are likely driving many more miles on the road each day than the majority of other vehicles.

I think people are misinterpreting car free. Car free likely just means more of a park and ride type situation. You hop on a designated bus that will be available at various locations, and that bus will take you to the venue.

As a driver, I have a lot more control of what scenarios I find myself in when driving vs when taking the metro.

I don't really run into marketplace items when I use Walmart for groceries unless I seek them out, as they are shipped the same day from the store.

Higher property taxes generally would lead to lower home prices.

But really, this applies with anything that you purchase. If the sales tax inceases, you may be taxed more for an identical item that was purchased prior to the sales tax increase.

States and cities have a variety of ways to tax people. They don't need to rely on property tax.

Sure, but there are other potential hacks that this leak exposes that marketers may now be focusing on more so now they would have otherwise based on the information in the leak.

Loom in the title got my attention. It is the only reason I clicked on the link.

It is unfortunate this is being discussed rather than the product.
