Yeah, Karim got raided a few years back but they couldn't make anything stick. Most people don't even record serial numbers on their bikes, much less register them with any type of organization that police can check for stolen bi

Do you actually use the phrase "be negative" when you ask the question? I could see that distorting the responses by people who don't consider pulling the cord to stop the line "being negative."

You're so close to actual understanding here it's painful.

See how easy it is to fall into assuming I care? This is not "compelled speech" in the sense of the Constitution, anyway, your disingenuous attempts to paint it as such notwithstanding.

If taking a nap is both practical and sounds like a good idea, do it. Being well rested just makes every single thing you do easier and better. Conversely, and this may just apply to me personally, whatever it is, I'm not going to get

That's not true. By restricting supply, they raise property values for all housing owners, whether they rent out their properties or live in them. NIMBYs and landlords should be natural allies as such.

You've got an easy, built-in way to avoid the tax if you don't want to pay it.

It's a fundamental need for some people, if you want to have a healthy city where firefighters, teachers, baristas, servers, etc. can live there without having the city's cost of living externalized via multiple hour megacommute

Bullshit. If the flight were full, as per usual, then yes, I would agree. Under normal circumstances, I could evaluate this offer and decide that yes, it was worthwhile. But, here, they clearly exploited an information asymmetry to make m

No, in fact, I did not truly get what I wanted. I got bumped into the next higher group, which had literally no effect on anything. To put a finer point on it, I wanted to get some value out of my $29. I got none. If I said "Hey, gi

I expect them not to make me an offer at the airport check-in kiosk that they know I'll get no value out of.

They did when I checked in at the airport kiosk, which is where they made me the offer.

Yeah. For instance, let's talk about the $29 I paid to American Airlines recently for "priority boarding," before I found out the flight was less than 1/3 full. I got what was offered, but I got no actual value out o

Let's not forget how the US just conveniently doesn't go after the wealthy for tax fraud, because it's too difficult given they can hire armies of CPAs and lawyers to defend themselves.

I asked you a good faith question that should have been easy for you to answer if what you said was true. You refused. What am I supposed to believe? In simple terms, I asked you to put up or shut up, and your response was "no u.&quo

Well, for Disney, making up for some of that early pandemic park revenue is certainly a challenge. Nobody messes with Mickey Mouse’s money!

So? What's the functional difference between $6 billion and $1 billion (which is roughly what Google says his current net worth is). Unless your net worth is $500M or more, you're closer to being homeless than ever seeing that k
