Lol. People want Boeing to fail, because they're corrupt, lying, poorly engineered pieces of shit riding on bribed politicians. They've already deliberately caused the deaths of hundreds of people due to willful and deliberate negligence to save a buck.
Nobody's wanting the astronauts to die. And they won't, they're safe on the space station, and there are multiple options to get them home safe even if they have to abandon the POS Starliner to do it.
People have been coping for so long it's practically a genre in literature. People are convincing themselves so hard that immortality is a curse, yet literally zero people have actually experienced it.

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...
Glass back is a premium design feature because it breaks easily, and customers who buy premium phones are expected to be rich enough to just buy another phone.
It's a profit making feature.
Much like luxury cars, nobody actually expects BMW or Mercedes to last more than 3 years. People who buy them are expected to trade up for the latest model every few years.
Same with luxury fashion. Absolutely some of the cheapest and fragile clothing I've ever seen come from big fashion brands. And nobody cares, because by the time they break, they're out of style and the buyer will be updating their wardrobe anyways.
If there's one thing I've learned, expensive luxury items = cheap and breakable. Midrange products are where the customers tend to be concerned with longevity and value.
I hear some cities call the larger area as metro (Vancouver) and other cities call it greater (Toronto). Is there a functional difference? Generally speaking, is one more urbanized than the other?
The "Metro" area generally refers to the main city and any other high density cities right beside it, probably linked together by high volume public transit with massive numbers of people commuting between each other every day. It would be pretty typical to live in City A, work in City B, and meet with friends or have dinner in City C all in one day.
The "Greater" area generally refers to a much wider area including many of the much smaller towns that even people in the same country won't recognize, rural farmland, etc. Their economies and business are probably mostly dependent on the main city so they may be considered linked, even though there aren't as many people moving back and forth between them daily. So someone living in Town D might commute into City A for work, but almost nobody living in city A/B/C is commuting out to town D for work.
I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.
Ebikes have arguably been one of the biggest boons to cycling in general. Many people who often wouldn't have cycled at all are now getting on bikes, and many more people who would have taken a car for a particular trip due to distance or hills are now also taking their ebikes instead.
Ebikes have probably gotten more people riding bikes than anything else on the list.

Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential involvement of governments in concealing or studying such entities.
Extraterrestrial life = yes. It's a big universe and the chances of us being the only life in the entire universe is slim.
Aliens visiting us = no. For the same reason as above. It's a big ass universe.
Governments being able to hide aliens from us = lol no. If aliens had the tech to travel a million light years to visit us, they'd have taken over the planet in an hour.
