Remember as well that the Senate was intended as a sort of administrative body, with each states senators being selected by the state government...not via popular election. In my estimation, the removal of that aspect diluted the original c

Just a quick note... hotel/hospitality versions don't have these requirements. Look for them on Alibaba and overstock.

The brain is marvelously adaptable...especially in survival situations (regardless of overall politics/geopolitical strength), many of us ended up in a fight or die scenario at one time or another...the tools might change, but the impe

Eh you're probably ant fucking, it's a fine comparison to draw versus big box stores. TBF, probably "2 Walgreens" would be a good comparison in some markets, or "classic grocery store" size.

Not sure I've I'm even playing Devil's Advocate here...but at least one factor is fed-pump cycles. Lots of cheap money around looking for any return. If money was expensive, there would be less deals at the margin. And presum

Unfortunately it looks like just another bureaucracy with opportunity to appoint friends and supporters, but no real teeth or legal authority: "-no remedy or relief is available for failure to meet the 2050 target or an emissions budge

Not true, It's slippery language (and unauditable Chinese press statements). So if you can spot it! "China, the world’s biggest energy consumer, cut its 2005 carbon intensity level, or the amount of climate-warming carbon dioxide

Worth a mention...Colorado Sun is a great example of what local journalists can do after local legacy organizations are snapped up by national/global organizations. After the Denver Post was acquired by Alden Global Capital, the paper&

I'm sure a lot of folks will pile in here about evil, etc. But I do appreciate the fact that some market incentives (profits) exist to encourage greedy companies to come out with new drugs. I fear lower innovation in its absence. THAT

You can have a fun and cool similar effect if you get a $10 infrared thermometer (I would say one with a laser for helping to point it). Useful for cooking and food safety. But then...go outside a night and point it first at the ground, the

Off topic but you may find this interesting: https://www.jsx.com/destinations I hope we see more of this type of alternative options...opt-out of TSA (until its so big it gets attention), P2P, nimble, small-scale.

That's not true at scale. We're not talking share-shifting of dollars, but making a more anti-fragile system overall that lifts everyone.

Although Presidio would like you to think they are cloud security (higher margins) they are really just a VAR/reseller. Weak services but they will sell you stuff. So will I! More importantly, this is proximate enough that they may sue

>I think our present trajectory is obviously unsustainable Curious what makes you think that, with some real hard numbers, etc. I think we've become very good as a culture at brainwashing ourselves into a doomsday attitude when it c

I really like your analysis here and it made me think. Ultimately, for control of many of these issues, a localist approach is superior..understand the local culture, etc. Maybe a coworkery in La Jolla would have surfboard racks and a tacit

I would also agree with you. They seem to have a focus on some top tier locations for their brand. IWG/Regus is not nearly so fancy...but they do have more locations, more suburban coverage, and usually in typical office parks. Which,

For actually useful comparisons, look at Regus/IWG which is larger and more profitable: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWG_plc I have used Regus on and off in the US for a decade. I also have a free WeWork subscr

Wondering if they would do the same for Hong Kong if mainlands breaks the pledge to not force changes until 2046? The costs would be incredible.
