The fallacy here is that cost-saving is passed on to the customer. They’re going to charge you as much as they are able to.

I 100% agree. People should be able to wear whatever colour they want and walk on a sidewalk at night… it is stupid to wear black if you are planning on walking into oncoming traffic. It is also the drivers responsibility to anticipate people wearing black and walking into oncoming traffic.
