Out of curiosity, how so?

As a German living in the US, it's also interesting to me how dramatically more expensive insurance in the US is compared to Europe. The best explanation I could come up with is that 1) traffic laws are barely enforced, at least in Los Angeles you see most people driving with phone in hand and we have virtually no speed cameras or speeding enforcement, whereas in Germany, even tiny villages may have two speed cameras, one at each side of town 2) there seem to be no enforced maintenance requirements for cars in the US, whereas in Germany there's a mandatory check of the car's proper functioning every 2 years 3) insurance in the US is probably is cross-subsidizing lawyers as signified through the ubiquitous accident lawyer ads on billboards, radio etc.

Product market fit.

I agree, plus we need to make public transit safer and cleaner (I live in Los Angeles and love the metro, but it can be edgy).

> EU produces about the same amount of nuclear energy as the US - and that's despite Germany shutting down all reactors

Noting that France has one of the highest shares of nuclear in the world, offsetting some of Germany's shutdown.

The one I have in mind is actually 100% separated from car traffic, eg along a river or rail line.

Yeah, agree. Although I'm not sure how much of a difference biking makes vs. living there in general.

The secret of LA biking infrastructure is that there are a few small rivers / creeks / storm drains running towards the ocean and sometimes those have bike trails.

Those are really next level because they are essentially bike freeways; completely separated from car traffic (no intersections because the river & bike trail go underneath road bridges).

In fact, it's not only safe and fun, but also much faster than driving during rush hour.

I've been biking to work in Los Angeles for ten years and it's surely been one of my best life hacks ever (to the point where access to biking infrastructure has been a primary consideration when buying my house).

Amazon solved trust is very much different than my perception of them:

- ads everywhere trying to push low quality product

- fake/bought product reviews

- commingled inventory (up until recently, still I would never buy food items, drugs or other health sensitive items like air filters or sunscreen there)

Note that, in the Netflix example, this is at (or mostly) full pay.

Yep, same boat. That's why I had kept my pixel 4a for years until is finally kicked the bucket 2 years ago.

Yep, judging a tree by its fruit.
