Yeah, but a lot of that comes from the legacy airlines in the US becoming low cost carriers.

I won't be surprised when it happens to the EU when more flag carriers go bankrupt.

And at least Tommy Cutlets was entertaining in a good way.

The story and ideas were great. I loved the abortion. Michael Fassbender was appropriately creepy.

However, this is the movie where the Prometheus School of Running Away came from.

Guess we got to build that telescope on the far side of the moon, then.

The problem is that they are awful, but consumers are very price sensitive when they buy tickets. You get what you pay for.

It is now. You get what you pay for.

This is why I have a light turn on in my room at min brightness before my alarm goes off.

Yeah, but I feel like part of the problem is that leftist groups don't show up to vote if the Presidential candidate isn't who they want.

There are still a lot of down ballot measures that failed to pass which should have been easy wins if a Biden electorate showed up, like banning the use of inmate labor in California and instituting a ranked choice ballot in some states.

Get rid of the Presidential election, and there was still a lot to vote on. But few people seem to care outside of the Presidential election.

That'll be an interesting bankruptcy. It is also surprising that Spirit went bankrupt while RyanAir seems to be doing well.

And such a beautiful bike.

You also get the problem where people will start companies with other employees that are ride or die because they had significant equity in the company. Once you approach anything like Amazon's size, the potential equity people can get has been severely diminished.

You also have a lot of founders who get to that position are workaholics who love focusing on their building empire. For them, it is hard to imagine how people wouldn't want to dedicate everything to building an empire like they do.

 

The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?

Would Gaza get recognized by other countries? Could it parlay the recognition into forcing a permanent peace with Israel as becoming a recognized country puts Israeli treatment of it into more known sections of international law?
