You can shoot down party balloons with lasers, so it checks out.

I’ve never seen a shortage not followed by a glut.

Get some stocks, be a cynical investor and at least make money. The powers that be are going to keep printing money to inflate the debt away. Lower interest rates might be in the horizon too. All these inflationary forces are unlikely to stop any time soon. Benefit from this by owning assets. Most of us are priced out of property, so stocks of high quality companies are the last place we can go to own an asset that can benefit from all this inflation.

Lastly, and this so much easier said than done, unionize. The article touches on this but the disparate wealth redistribution and inequality of today is traced back to the weakening of unions.

From what I’ve found this part of the case is more about legal theory: is uber liable for criminal conduct by drivers? The jury said yes they are.

The sexual assault is still described as alleged in the articles so I think that part is still up for trial?

Kessler syndrome soon

Nah they’ll rent out cars first, subscription-based. Cars as a service. The Netflix of cars. It just writes itself. Silicon Valley and VC money will come down from the heavens putting up a facade that their new app will change the world and help those poor people that have been priced out.

And the media will eat it up and adore and fawn over the charming CEO that says all the right things.

It’s a quote from the Shawshank redemption.

Out of curiosity to think about what to do with my life, what do you do for a living? Software engineer?

They’ve had decades of brain drain because of all the insecurity and corruption. Currently I don’t see that reversing, it’s very ingrained. I hope they find a way of providing better opportunities, demographically it’s a young country so maybe they can make something work for them.

But oof is it gonna be an uphill battle when your government works against you by not supporting education, security, infrastructure.

What’s the word?

I think it’s a Yogi Berra thing

If you migrate from a rich country to a poor country you’re an expat.

If you migrate from a poor country to a rich country you’re an immigrant and you’re both lazy and taking all the jobs and welfare and healthcare.

Wonder how much of this comes from the gambling business. They don’t own the secondary market where you can sell skins, but they are the gateway into that world.

Leon The Professional drank milk and he was good from what I recall, minus the whole being a hired killer…
