Macroeconomically, it's not wasteful because cars find new life in resale. It's definitely wasteful to your pocketbook to get a new car every 5 years.
Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.
I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It's weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.
2 years is too long IMHO. 1 year, forgiven in a prorated fashion seems far more palatable.
Counter point, the other company pays better because they save on training costs.
3000 isn't much when it comes to onboarding costs, so I don't think that's why, but imagine if it cost 10k,20k, etc.
For clarity, I'm very much in favor of this ruling. But I also sympathize with the above reply.
This is what I've done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I'm looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I'd prefer a Rivian and I'm not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.
Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!
Not in any order of magnitude
I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:
There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.
Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.
You don't have to host only office to use the client. As others noted, it doesn't do anything to combat non open standards, but it does work.
