The crazy thing to me is that we buy these fairly expensive machines that get way less than 1% utilization. I estimate the mower gets 35 hours of use per year.
I'd rather a community share such resources so we can own a mower, tiller, edger, and helicopter.
High expense, low utilization things are a waste of money. The share economy hasn't gone far enough; but unfortunately that also requires a high trust society, which we're unwilling to create. We've accepted that folks impose upon us, without consequence.
