There’s a set of metrics to meet. Starlink is moving the wrong way against those metrics. As such, they’ll need to succeed unaided in the marketplace, instead of getting a government handout.
Ford Lightning - 6,893
Hummer EV - 9,063
Rivian R1T - 7,148
Lordstown Endurance - 6,450
Chevrolet Silverado EV - 8,532
RAM 1500 REV - est. 7,500

How much water per user served did the banking industry use? It makes sense that banking uses a lot of resources in total because it is a huge industry, serving hundreds of millions of people worldwide, if not billions. Bitcoin serves what, at most a few tens of thousands of users?
I heard people talk about the electricity usage of the banking industry in comparison to bitcoin and its the same thing. Yeah it takes a lot of energy to heat and cool every bank in the world, but it is serving several orders of magnitude more people than bitcoin and offering way more services. Can I walk in to a bitcoin building and get a loan for a new car? Nope.
And that's literally one service, from one bank.
I'm going to set aside coffee quality for a second - because the truth is, the average consumer doesn't seem to care about this beyond a certain threshold, which judging by the popularity of these Keurig and Keurig-like products, the options clearly meet - and I want to focus on what it delivers.
What it delivers is consistency. You put a pod in, fill up the water as needed, and press a button. Rinse and repeat, and you always get the same specified amount of coffee. Its precision consistent. No making a big pot of coffee only to waste it.
Not to mention, its simple to clean up. Just throw the pod away. No grounds, no coffee filters, just pop the pod, and on to the next one.
As far as convenience goes, it hits all the notes.
It may not for you, of course, but the average consumer is still buying these systems and its only growing.
Given how cheap it is to make these systems, I'm really not shocked it went to the consumer relatively quickly and didn't settle as an office only thing.
Now, they are an environmental catstrophe, that is true, and thats a great reason to transition away from these systems
Unfortunately, most people prefer the lower up-front cost and higher operational cost of a Keurig or a Nespresso to the higher up-front cost and lower operational cost of a superauto.
Your argument is completely detached from reality, and devoid of logic.
