Access to solar batteries, panels, and other cheaper micro mobility options like e scooters and e bikes that might increase mobility is lower price on Amazon at times.
That said if you are homeless, you are limited on package sizes. So if I want to invest in a nice solar power station like Jackery 2000 or similar, – heavy big packages having more money means you can. Having less money makes it an annoying process hopefully get a hotel room that will allow sending 100lb packages or pay the premium at local retailers?
Less delivery workers breaking their back is good, less access to high quality devices for the less fortunate really not full amplification of the value and gains in engineering. There is society that claims to want to do right by the poor, those in hard situations and those that actually do right by them.
Reducing access to power for me and others like me profits some more than others.
Maybe there are other options I am unaware of – Golden Rule, put someone on the street and limit their ability to compete at every turn? It is just business, worthy of redistributing to others, doesn’t set non ideal precedent? Likely is more complicated than all that – I don’t mind other people launching, but don’t claim you can keep me down at every turn and claim it doesn’t look like a gross icing cherry on top for engineers prone to hubris.
Getting a 130W from my 3 mobile 60W solar panels today – free energy from the sun, get a taste for it then not deliver? 130W is enough for me, free air conditioning, no pricey standing desks… sure we shouldn’t redistribute for all?
