Such silliness.
Nothing to do with "hardship." Why do people keep saying that ... it's totally ridiculous. I have one simply "because I can." It's neat beating out the stupid 40 year old open your window (MY CARD DOES NOT WORK THROUGH MY CLOSED WINDOW) wave your card at the reader ancient system. Why do people buy $100,000 cars or $1,000,000 homes. They don't need them. It's not a hardship to live in a $300,000 home vs a $1,000,000 home. These stupid chips are simply a tiny very cheap "luxury" for some. Some people buy 10 pairs of shoes when 2 will do just fine or smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day or buy $7 drinks at the Squares, Why? Because they can. I chose to spend my money on a "chip" since I don't smoke or drink. Nothing to do with being too lazy to roll down a (power) window. I just don't get the angst generated in so many people because some folks have these stupid little devices. Maybe it's just chip envy. Nahh, just a bunch of old fuddy duddys that like to complain about what others have but they don't.
