But then why is the number higher for 2adult1child (1 working) when compared to 2adult1child(both working). wouldn't child raising costs get added back in once both are working?

I have received equity as an employee. When I started, the company was very early and their evaluation was still very low. The way it worked was that I had to pay for the equity grant upfront. I forget exactly how much but it was<$200. This is also how it worked for me as a founder of a company.

That same company eventually raised a sizeable equity round and then began issuing options for new employees. If they were to continue issuing equity grants, the cost to purchase the grant would be much more than $200 (likely tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars). Alternatively, if the company were to give employees equity grants directly instead of having to buy them then that would count as income and the employees would owe taxes on the equity gained. The tax bill could also easily be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Options avoid all of that and defer the upfront costs that come with an equity grant.

Imo, the real problem is that options can be clawed back once you no longer work for the company.

I lived in Boston a couple years before Uber was a thing and if I was out at night and needed a ride back to Southie (where I lived), it would take me four or five taxis at least to get one to agree to go there.

Uber eliminated that problem. It would be terrible to go back to that system where drivers can just refuse you based on where you are going or what you look like.

Wouldn't that be 60% are not interested. 100% - (20% very interested) - 20% (somewhat interested). People who are somewhat interested do not count towards being not interested.

Having to pay for the extra traffic is similar to having to pay for rent and staffing for that day of the sit in. Its built in costs of operating that have to be paid because their time of running the business was temporarily suspended.
