Holy Molly! 65 bucks for a haircut? In Colombia they're around 3USD, and in Chile around 7USD.

TBH that just seems like a ripoff.

Higher cost of living, and until you figure out a way to cut my hair in the USA while you're in Colombia or Chile I will have to pay $20 a cut minimum, here in a low cost of living part of the USA.

A new use for those surgery robots that let surgeons work remotely.

Now a haircut costs $165 and it's an automatic subscription. Colombian barber still gets $3 though.

This is helping!
