Infrastructure helps more. I live in a hilly city and break a mild sweat pedaling up a hill to get home from work (no complaints, it's good cardio). e-scooters and bikes - slowly - get up the hills too, but it's a major difference (especially for scooters) doing this up on an old bumpy sidewalk vs an asphalt bike path
It's not superfluous at all. It's been 30C+ in flat London for weeks and my ebike means I arrive at work unflustered and in my normal clothes. There are plenty of other benefits than easier hills.
Only if your goal is to transport yourself. I use my ebike for groceries, typically I'll have the motor in the lowest power setting on the way to the store, then coming back with cargo I'll have the motor turned up. I can bring back heavy bulk items that would have been painful with a pedal bike.
Yeah long before covid people were vaccine hesitant too. You just didn't really see it come to a head until covid really forced those people out of the woodwork but they were there the whole time not doing their flu shot, not keeping up with their past shots, and doing bare minimum of immunizations for school.
What I was trying to say is that many people (who are not vaccine skeptics), were hesitant to take a covid vaccine, and their hesitancy (contrary to the article’s assertion), was not due to a handful of people who spread misinformation.
the government already needs to track satellites to prevent its own from getting hit, and to track foreign spy satellites. IMO it would be reasonably for Congress to pass a law to allow the FAA to charge private companies who launch satellites in the US, but killing the program is just very dumb

Tough luck, I say. If you’re going to bring humans into this world, you better do a great job at it and not externalize responsibility or create a nuisance for others.
What is their product though? It will turn into surveillance or military applications, which would explain the interest of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
