Fees should be outlawed.

A friend sent me a notice about an Airbnb that costs $490/night. With half a dozen people using it, the price per person drops way down. For three nights, that would be a total of $245 per person. However, looking more closely, there are fees totaling $677! $677 in fees? That's ridiculous, but that's how things are billed these days. Cable bills, phone bills, theater tickets - everything has both a price and a fee. In this case, I had to click onto another page to see all the fees. I probably could have signed up thinking I was getting the lower price - the actual price.

Why aren't Daytime Running Lights standard on all US cars? So many cars have these lights that it makes non-DRL cars less obvious. They tend to blend into the background. It would save car makers money having one system for every car, rather than having to maintain two different systems.

While I'm talking about headlights, I wish LED headlights would be outlawed. It seems that all trucks - with their higher headlights - have those LEDs. Why do they need them on during daylight? When do they have to use their high beams during the day? I wonder if those headlights had to be approved. Probably not. I flip my nighttime rearview mirror down, and I sometimes tilt the whole mirror down when the lights behind me are too bright.

Sometimes, "safer" is actually more dangerous.
