Even if we - the end user, reduce our usage enough that manufacturers 'take note' and provide us non plastic versions they will still use so much plastic behind the scenes that it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Some of them it was for sure a preexisting condidtion. But how many homeless people developed addictions and assorted health problems because of homelessness?
A HELL of a lot more.
If they had had a home that they wouldn't lose to bullshit to begin with...
Income limit would lead to people 'gaming' the system. Either just misreporting what they actually make or purposefully not making enough to qualify.
Or it will go just like current systems do - you make one cent over their arbitrarily decided number and you don't qualify even if you cant actually afford to live.
It would also screw over people who might have a 'good' income, but made honest mistakes and are upside down in debt or similar situations.
Income limit fosters a 'you deserve this, you don't' attitude which is what we are trying to get away from.
I just see a time limit system (with exceptions for those who are sick/unable to fully care for themselves) doing a better job of providing a basic human right to anyone who needs it while avoiding a bunch of bullshit an income limit would bring to the table.
Real question - WTF does market share have to do with this?
No one running a program like this is gonna care about "market share".
Most are gonna be 'give me cheapest you got" even if that means buying HS students baby's 1st computer from 'Fissure Nice' (because they aint gonna spend money that can go in their pocket for name brand shit)
Pretty easy honestly. Pick the frames you like, enter in your prescription, choose lens options like transitions/anti glare then pay and you get em in a couple days to a couple weeks depending.
Just like anything else shop around - some of the "cheap" online places still charge a ridiculous amount.
Name brand doesn't mean much either - for example - generic transition lens coating works just as well as the name brand stuff for most applications for a fraction of the price.
I wasn't aware Palword was supposed to be a game as a service.
To me game as a service are games like world or warcraft or apex legends.
Their whole point is to get money by microtransactions and recurring payments using constant new content to keep players engaged.
I wanna boop that cute little nose.
