Wouldn’t it be great if your caregiver could check your fridge and pantry before coming to your place? Then they could do your shopping on the way to your house, instead of making two trips. What a concept! I was a bit surprised that someone would make me spell out how technology can be useful to the disabled, but I see in another thread that you can’t tell the difference between Trump and Hillary so I guess I shouldn’t expect too much.
I had a friend who could check his own fridge, but it might have been a five minute round trip. He would have loved this shit were he still around.
Ok, I guess I mistook your meaning then, sorry. You might be right that things could get a fair bit worse yet before anything gets done. Relax though, I don’t think “we might do something once people die on the roads” makes you guilty of optimism 
I wouldn’t consider myself a great optimist either. But it’s been interesting for me, after learning about the world through an anglo-saxon lens, to come to Europe where corporate regulatory capture is less than total. I’d expect the EU or its member nations to do something about this problem before the US does.
