For more context, this is in part the result of a 2021 settlement with the state of Washington over them doing the opposite: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/27/1040968238/greyhound-warrantless-searches-lawsuit-settlement

The settlement only forces this behavior in Washington though, so good on Greyhound for deciding that it is the right policy everywhere.

That is not the correct form of a syllogism. The second premise should be "Some C are A" leading to the conclusion "Some C are B". With the structure you provided, it is easy to produce invalid conclusions from true premises:

• All planets are round
• Some fruits are round
• Therefore: Some fruits are planets

Whereas a correctly structured syllogism might be:

• All coconuts are round
• Some fruits are coconuts
• Therefore: Some fruits are round

Most of them are leaving. I think the ones remaining rely on bundling with other insurance or services.

For perishable items, you'd get a bathtub curve. For humans in particular one more precise estimate is the Gompertz–Makeham law of mortality.

My biggest frustration with OneDrive is in combination with Office (on my work PC). You browse to a local folder and save, but instead of saving it locally and syncing to the cloud, it saves to the cloud and downloads, and it is slow.

A progressive individual tax would be far more complicated, as you would have to assign, track and audit individual use. And that doesn't even get into secondary uses (e.g. manufacture and transport of goods).

The flat rebate makes the tax progressive. Typical people pay $0 net tax, or even come out ahead, while heavy polluters pay almost the full tax. Just raising the tax will effectively make it progressive.
