Agreed, risk of injury does not factor into how long the trip would take given faster speeds. This article is an exercise in narrative nonsense.

Not JP Morgan because of Jamie Dimon. 'Don't invest money in idiots' seems to be one of Warren's basic rules.

You clearly don't even read your own comments.

The data used is clearly listed in the John Oliver video, but you'd have to have checked to know that.

I don't comment on things I haven't read or watched, but it's clear not all of us do that.

Not really (even though the low pay for teachers is a filter for talent) - public school teachers still have to have at least a documented education to teach, and must maintain their certifications/training.

Parents are not required to do any of that.

Headline states 'mass exodus', article names three known companies that never actually moved to Austin, then three unknown companies with no context of those companies' workforce or products.

Texas has problems, but this isn't journalism.

Most of this article is paid promotional bullshit, but it shouldn't be a surprise that billions of dollars being thrown at a short term pandemic surge would be an unwise investment.

Ghost kitchens are still a great idea, just not one that will support nonsensical WeWork hype and money.

These consultants have a sweet gig going on. They just interview everyone at the company, write down what the employees say needs to be fixed, then they put it in a report to upper management as expert recommendations.

Then they bill for their time and 'expertise'.

Agreed.

It wasn't worth $44B when he bought it, so I'm not sure why the NY Times would even use that number in any way. If I pay someone $100,000 for a stick they found on the side of the road, it doesn't make that stick worth $100k.

I doubt Twitter was worth $19B even before Musk overpaid for it. It was a 15 year old company that couldn't make money.

When this story came out a couple of months ago, I didn't really understand how this would go undetected for any amount of extended time. One driver keeps having hundreds of dollars in cancelled orders and there's no tracking of it?

Yeah, I cancelled the last time they did that.
