OK - Now its time for you to say that carrier could some to this business model within the context of today's capitalism - if it is profitable. To which I respond by losing my temper, saying "Reread the previous post!" What you describe is a concept that already exists. It's called "rental." A paradigm shift from ownership to rentalship of household goods is interesting, but a tough sell, I think. Given the stigma attached to rental now and the pride of ownership, it's unlikely to take off in the market on its own. You'd have to implement it by fiat. Dunno who might have the political clout to pull that off.
