I’ll be honest, I’m just here for the memes.

Low IQ: it’s not a straight line
Medium IQ: it’s a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line
High IQ: it’s not a straight line
Oh, it’s possible. So much so that they made a TV show out of it.
Will this be loss?

There are situations where it does make sense to rent or put a property up for rent. For example, if you are relocating temporary for a job or education, it would make a lot of sense to get a short term lease, rather than buy or stay in a hotel (depending on price, of course). An individual who know that a property of theirs won’t be used for some time can then lease it out to this person. It’s a win-win, as tenants don’t deal with the process of closing or the responsibility of ownership, and the landlord makes some extra cash on the underutilized property.
However, the problem really comes down to when it becomes a business. Companies buy up large quantities of land and property and rent them out, allowing them to shift the costs of mortgage and taxes to the tenant while reaping the benefits of increasing equity. Furthermore, the amount of property for sale decreases, artificially lowering supply for housing to own. This drives up costs. As the company buys up more and more property, they also get to jack up the prices because of their local monopoly. In the individual landlords case, this wouldn’t happen because they have to compete with the rest of the diverse market. So overall, prices go up for housing everywhere.
I see a few paths to a solution.

Criticism of the comic aside, two party system is still definitely undesirable. I believe it is a side effect of first past the post voting. What we really should implement is ranked choice voting. It gets rid of the dumb “voting third party is voting for [opposite party]” argument by letting you vote for who you want guilt-free and falling back on your lower-ranked votes if #1 wasn’t popular enough.
But you know, this will always meet resistance because politicians would lose their jobs for implementing this.

It’s argue it still shouldn’t even be a “subscription”. A payment plan would be a simpler and more safety-conscious implementation. If the buyer fails to keep up with required payments, then you’re focused on collections, not disabling functionality.
The seller could even just not offer payment plans, because plenty of other third parties already specialize in personal loans. They’re just reinventing a stupider wheel.
The car can take 120/240 V AC input. Internally, there’s a AC to DC rectifier that brings the voltage up to the internal battery’s voltage. For 120V 15A charging, this is pretty slow in general since EV batteries have a large capacity.
