It's not uncommon, when an article from a niche site hits high on YC, for multiple people to see what else is on that site (especially if there are related links at the bottom of the article), and to submit whatever else is interesting on that site as well. You could call it a slashdot effect echo...
People in low-income and "bad" neighbourhoods actually stand to gain a lot more by knowing their neighbours because they get a lot more out of community solidarity when there's trouble, they'll have networks to identify trouble earlier, etc.
I mean it's not generally accepted to say "I'm dying of cancer, you?" but it's a good jumping point for lighter conversation, which is healthier than not having the interaction at all.
It's night and day. The U.S. economy is very diverse and sports a large proportion of medium-sized companies of all kinds. There's a huge gap in Canada where many of our medium-sized get snapped up by American investors who either move them to the U.S. or integrate them to their existing Canadian operations, torpedoing our chances at developing new large companies in the long term.
European companies in this case... Stellantis is Fiat (Chrysler), and VW is German, obviously. The American companies' battery plants are spoken for in the U.S. :P
They're not changing the rules of the game on Jane Public's family here. They're sur-taxing banks' already exorbitant profits. Oh no, the bankers bonuses will be 20% instead of 30%!
Have you not ever had a shitty job that you could not afford to quit because there was no other work at comparable salary available to you? They talk about how they specifically targeted new graduates. The economy in Kenya is not exactly Silicon Valley.
It's also the result of a low tax and low interest rate environment. When you can borrow money for free, or functionally for less than your rate of profit, why wouldn't you buy out your competitors?
Supermarket bread is the norm, good bread is the exception. I live in downtown Toronto and I have to go out of my way to find good bread, and unprocessed whole grain bread is particularly difficult to procure.
An amusing part with all of the AI-generated graphics is that it's pretty bad at producing the right amount of fingers, among other details. This one really jumps out. I'm assuming that will be ironed out eventually but the devil, as always, remains in the details.
That's what I'm saying--put a higher cost on running empty planes. If they have to give away 100 tickets (or pay passengers to fly!) and staff the plane, they might start wondering whether it's worth it. Also that kind of giveaway would deflate prices across the market, making this empty planing a ruinous exercise for everyone.
I agree with you that Detroit/Windsor has been a sieve when it comes to sealing cases outside of the country, but considering that we've never come anywhere close to COVID zero, it's a minor concern at this time.
