I think it only works economically if the battery packs are rented by the day. Propane tanks are empty vessels when the energy is used up. Battery packs are still just as valuable while they sit around doing nothing.

If you are a single user and ride your bike all the time then this is a once/day expense, just like adding petrol, and very cost effecient. But if you are a more casual user I think this would not be cost effective. You would have to pay for the battery every day it is not returned.

I can't imagine the price of taking 5 kids in 2022. The good thing back then is you could just let them run off and meet back at the lockers at 5. No phones, "don't get into trouble. Here's $10 for you and your sister."

" Other companies incorporate the information into their comprehensive dossiers on almost all Americans (one leader in the field, Acxiom, recently said it would allow consumers to see their individual dossiers for the first time from the end of the summer)."

Is there any movement on this offer?

I used to use 510-the-scam (510-843-7226). 510 because it was the HQ area code for Safeway, and I had friends that worked for corporate.

Because so many people used it you would get all sorts of extra discounts. You never knew if you'd get a free sandwich at the deli. It was fun. Eventually they shut that number down.
