Early spring cleaning.

I don't think the for-Profit 24 hours news channels are helping Democracy.

With that much talk time they have to speculate about what's actually going on. When they speculate wrong it's labeled "Fake News".

Currently USA news media creates division to get eye balls.

Reading a summary of the news weekly keeps you just as informed at watching 24/7

If you think there is nothing wrong with your boat, there is something seriously wrong with your boat.

There are 4000 Cardiac Surgeons in the USA.

Do you think there are 4000 engineers that make over $500k?

Global warming will not cause humans to go extinct. We are adaptable and most will just move to better locations.

Polluting our water supply definitely will kill most land based species.

Don't waste your time fighting for something is an inconvenience. Fight for clean water and minimizing pollution.

I know 4 people that died flying their own planes. Some things are best left to professionals.

Fall gets wacky as the book progresses.

It would be more impressive to meet a client at a WeWork office.

Your cost should also include the price to set up a charging station at home. That costs $1500+ in the USA.

Having access to a train was much more desirable in 1886. It meant you could ship your stuff to markets across the nation.

Today no one wants a train in the backyard.

Plus 1000s of people died constructing these railroads. That's not acceptable today.

I think that depends on the viewer. e.g. One could watch tv news passively accepting everything as fact OR watch the news while trying to understand what the agenda of the news program is.

I bet moving costs at least $400 out of pocket plus you have to value you time. 2 people packing and moving is 20+ hours each. 40 hours * $20/hr = $800 so you are breaking even at best.

That makes no sense. What happens to the solid material?

Most musicians don't come from money and most schools don't teach basic finance. Most people blow windfalls of cash.

Apple, SpaceX exists because of Free Markets. There is no reason to think they required our current flavor of Capitalism to come to fruition.

Atlanta near Midtown has dramatically improved for biking. We also have Bird scooters.

Or Health Insurance means some of your bills will be paid, not "full coverage" as most people assume.

"But if the medical costs increase without a corresponding premium increase, the insurance company won't see any profits."

That almost never happens.

In the more expensive areas you are actually paying more for the land than the house.

$500k properties are torn down to build new homes.

Street heroin is an Opioid.

The chain of addiction is started through regulated pharma. Most of these deaths are not from Oxy but all opioids.

People addicted to Oxy find it's cheaper to buy unregulated opioids that vary in potency. The overdoses happen because prohibition ensures their street supplied drugs are Unregulated.

These overdoses happen because society is not educated about the risks of combining opioids with alcohol and the illegal drug supply is unregulated. Imaging if beer all tasted the same but ranged from 2%-95%; 12 oz of pure alcohol would kill quit a few people.

If you understand how a bicycle works it's easy to draw. Most people don't care to understand things on a deeper level.

It's a loan so he'd probably be in the 1st tier to get paid back if Uber went bankrupt. The equity would just be a bonus.

Uber is currently positioned to win when they can get self-driving cars. Drivers are Uber's biggest expense.

Uber has a great MOAT and they were having a financial crisis a few months ago. This is Buffett's wheelhouse.

He wasn't just trying to buy equity, it was convertible debt which is has a stronger guarantee.

I think your goal to "learn math/physics" is too broad. Steven Hawkins was still trying to learn about physics before his death.

Define what "understanding physics" means to you and then figure out how to get to your goal.

95% of Swedes live in the tip. I doubt upper Sweden has good coverage being that it's a barren tundra.

Elected Local Government Officials answer to their lobbyists.

High paying trade jobs that have the highest risk of injury and death.

Automated construction will start in the next 10 years.

How do people travel the last mile?
