I bought my first Ticketmaster tickets ever recently and was shocked at the price. First and probably last time ever doing this.

And the #1 of a bubble is that the institutions of society will not allow it to crash in a way that harms those investors - just the rest of us. When the bubble pops, I doubt prices will go down or the excess supply will be for sale.

If they allow it to crash at all. They might artificially prop it up with government intervention, like they did in 2008-2010.

Trump helps Russia. That's probably his chief motivation in starting this war.

Poor Ukraine

Folks, we could save this much money and fuel all of the time by allowing as much WFH as possible.

All of these self driving services are promising customers that they don't have to focus on driving. That's the entire premise of the service!

To then throw the customer under the bus when the inevitable occurs feels like fraud.

He did it because it helps fund Russia's war efforts. The US lifted sanctions on countries buying Russian oil.

Since we're talking about alternatives to Google Maps and their shortcomings, I think it's good to mention how you can help improve Open Street Map. You need the app StreetComplete - it's like a scavenger hunt while you're walking around, but you help fill in data on OSM in quick single-question format.

I find it helps pedestrians, cyclists, and the disabled the most, since Google also does a very poor job of presenting information relevant to those audiences. By making OSM better, we can create more users, which creates more contributors.

Too bad Trump is funding Russia by lifting sanctions on countries buying Russian oil.

The number supporting it is going up. Right wing media is giving them marching orders.

American democracy is so cooked.
