Great business model but terrible thing to actually use. If you have so much junk you need a storage unit, you probably need to declutter. Most people have too much junk. On the other hand, new homes are not being built and this may be a wa

Sounds almost exactly like what Disney did to Marvel and Star Wars... taking a male dominated brand and trying to make it more appealing to women and thereby tanking their flagship brands.

They deserve it for listening to McKinsey and the consultant class and getting involved in politics. Stop lecturing me about politics when I just want a product that has nothing to do with politics (i.e. Colin Kaepernick and Dylan Mulvaney)

I previously noted that the top search result for Claude Code was linking to a spyware website. It's crazy how this stuff is not monitored at all.

I just want a MacBook with a cellular modem. Why is this not sold?

100% agree. The market for this will be miniscule. Look at how small the market for the iPad mini is. This will be even worse because it's 3x the price and has to be carried as a main device. How many people are wearing pants that can

I'm curious how large the market for this will be. I am a big guy and the Pro Max models are already huge in my pocket. How many people are really going to want a phone that is this big and bulky in their pockets? Will we see a rise in

The property is owned by Makras Real Estate a notorious slumlord who has been convicted of fraud. They don't respect their tenants, they're surely not going to respect public art.

PayPal is dying and not that slowly. It's being replaced by Stripe, Adyen, Checkout.com, Apple Pay, Google Pay... etc. margins continue to decrease with no real moat to rising competition. Eventually it will just be Venmo and Braintree

Yes, they existed, but definitively not in the same potency (i.e. fentanyl) or volume and were more expensive and harder to get. Not every public toilet in the 80s/90s was completely taken over by deranged homeless drug addicts like it

The toilets you cleaned in 1996 were no where near as disgusting/dangerous as what the public toilets look like now from fentanyl zombies and meth heads. I doubt you had to worry about pricking yourself on a recently used needle ever.

It's because 50% of voters are choosing to decriminalize laws and make everything into the oppression olympics. California legislature just proposed allowing 'crimes of necessity' this week. We can't have nice things now

The same people complaining about this are the ones who supported decriminalizing drug possession and use in public and public camping then they wonder gee why did all the local businesses go out of business and make their bathrooms private

Same thing applies to California except at the most elite levels. Yes you can get your tech start up funded, but try opening a car wash... the taxes and regulations are overly burdensome for small businesses.

Guess not! Markets shrugged it off.

Markets been waiting for something to sell off or correct in the short term over. Looks like it may have found its justification.

They shouldn't accept newspaper job ads anymore. It's a total scam when they use those because no one is applying for jobs from the wanted section of a local newspaper in 2026. They left too many obvious loopholes these companies

Okay Ben Shapiro, but you skipped an entire generation to make your argument and are ignoring what's happened in the last 5/10/15/30 years. I don't WANT to be mad and that shows you're arguing in bad faith. I w

By what metric? Houses, healthcare, cars, college... everything that matters is way more expensive for current generations when you compare to multiples of income or ounces of gold. We're working harder for less to show. Yes, there are

My career plateaued as soon as I had kids. I don't regret it, but companies definitely don't promote people with kids as rapidly, almost as if they know they have extra bargaining power over them because they have dependents to wo

I haven't had a pay raise since about 2021 so yes, that makes sense. Purchasing power is definitely down.

Inflation, cost of living, purchasing power... I feel like life is getting really difficult right now for most people in ways it hasn't been in decades. I don't think memory prices going up this much this fast is good. I think it&

Because the entire career or job experience is like a never ending marathon where the only reward is keeping your job and not becoming destitute. You never have true job security and if you work at a company long enough to go from start up

Just like how Detroit stopped making cars and Silicon Valley no longer manufactures semiconductors. Seems like capitalism always finds a way to outsource those jobs in a race to the bottom for the lowest wages/taxes/regulation.

Wah wah wah, make it personal because you're mad about facts: -China built 820 miles of high speed rail in 3 years. -The Golden Gate Bridge took 4.5 years. -Millau viaduct in France took 3 years. -But now we can't even build 2 mil
