what about developing a vaccine?

No, some people still stand by ethical principles, and appreciate the irony of the process taken by the "Democratic" party

If you're going to bring in "Good to Great" then you have to consider the fact that some of his case studies (Wells Fargo, Fannie Mae) went down the tubes because of what Collins postulated made them successful (overfitting, unscientific).

Housing has been a bitter historical and cross-cultural source of class conflict and oppression. In its current form in America, the bourgeois accumulate as much as they can like any unethical entity, and leverage it to maximize personal utility at the cost of the living conditions of the masses. It's always interesting to see how people use capitalism to indirectly (which is no excuse) cause this natural brutal nature of existence, to cause the common man (or woman) to "groan and sweat under a weary life".

"That's why the same size house costs more in a city." This idea is actually debunked in the report; Singapore and Tokyo do not have a similar kind of problem in American cities because there's more construction of housing. In America, there are more restrictions around building and less tenant rights (compared to Germany/Switzerland) which causes American housing to be an asset for both wealthier/older US citizens and foreigners.

Given wages not increasing with COL in cities and availability of credit (student loans, rising rents, credit cards, low interest rates) I'd assume poorly

"...[I]s also why we invented the wheel, harnessed fire, founded fancy schools like Harvard" there's a huge false equivalency here; I'll let you figure out which one it is.

How much consumer advertising appeals to "good" aspiration and fills a need which is fairly priced (ie doesn't have brand/marketing/silly subliminal cultural messaging priced in).

"But are we Americans ourselves destined after all to hunger after similar vanities on an infinitely more contemptible scale?" Yes!

"And is individuality with us also going to count for nothing unless stamped and licensed and authenticated by some title-giving machine?" Yes!

"Let us pray that our ancient national genius may long preserve vitality enough to guard us from a future so unmanly and so unbeautiful!" Perhaps it was childlike, not ancient, genius that was destined to fade as we matured.

It was a specific one that was mine. I would open the app and only my scooter would show up (other users couldn't see it). I'd store it in my apt and what not

I was able to rent a scooter from Bird for $25/month in a city and it cut my transportation cost from $170 to like $50. It eliminated ubers to/from events, public transit to/from work, bike rentals to/from gym. Definitely recommend owning a scooter

joining the military != fighting in a combat role

There's lots of regular work, maintenance, staffing some random base overseas etc

Musk was able to get funding in China for the Gigafactory there. That's my best guess
