They do! It's like they never heard of EFTs. They also pay many of their bills manually, or even worse, some still mail a cheque in response to a bill they receive via snail mail.

Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.

But there should be no downside. It's all artificial.

This is similar to the seat size problem.

Maybe standard seats should be bigger (and cost more) , with some option for smaller seats

You can then invite people to get on a scale to see if they qualify for a cheaper seat.

I a big tall person and I always feel sorry for the tiny people having to fly tucked in my armpit.

Maybe car sales taxes should scale by vehicle weight.

If you consume more of the road, you pay more

Exactly the point I was going to make, but much better explained.

They are collaborating with the Iraqi and Jordanian governments to fight the Islamic State.

The US said the same thing about helping Czeckslovakia, then Poland, then Yugoslavia, then France.

Sticking your head in the sand to ignore a problem, does not do anything to address it.
