I'm confused by the article. The main problem is that the line is too popular because the government under estimated ridership? How does this have anything to do with it being privatized? When they tried raising prices the city fought

The country as a whole is not better off if the wage growth causes inflation and economic slowdown. It amounts to a wealth transfer to those who work currently from those who retired and now live on fixed income. It's a zero sum game.

Targeting small businesses in general is bad idea. You need to spend too much time to discover their needs. You need to flip the script by creating a cookie cutter solution for a very specific type of customer. Ex: Fence installers, AC repa

I'm also skeptical it would work decently without something else like your cell phone signal to reduce the number of possible faces. I think the real value of this system is the intimidation factor. It really pushes the idea that the s

The housing could be normal rentals not conditional on keeping the job. I would guess that most Amazon facilities are located in urban areas. It would not be isolated mining town like in 1900s

Honestly, I was hoping Amazon was actually making housing for its workers. I think high density housing within walking distance of your job is the realistic solution for lowering co2 emissions.

Space exploration is a prestige game among world powers since the very beginning. China needs good PR pictures to show they can do just as well as NASA. If we are lucky they will try to one up each other for decades to come.

Exactly the proper metric is excess death. Comparing cases and "covid" death between countries who use different methodologies is bad. The EU publishes up to date data here: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps#

Do you have more details about this? Honestly it sounds like paranoid delusions. However, I could see using good-looking models playing fake customer for influencing high net worth individual to spend more. It might make financial sense in
