What? It’s right here in the comment above mine...that’s exactly what you said.

Having worked in the telecom industry for many years, the Lifeline program is massively abused by those looking to profit off government subsidies and pad their subscriber numbers (at the MVNO level). I’m not saying this is the solution, but it’s a horribly corrupt system.

If you just assume everyone should be automatically incentivized at $5M/year then you don’t understand how human behavior and capitalism function. You can’t just stick a ceiling on earnings cause $5M seems like “enough” to you.

Did this affect other apps on the phone or was just a standalone bad app?

Yes, the biggest barrier to upward mobility (besides inherent racism, sexism etc) is education.

90% income tax if you make over $5M a year?? What is the incentive to try to make money then? If you remove incentive to succeed (financially) uncapped, then you create an overall regression to the mean.

Potentially dumb question, but why don’t we start just shooting down the missiles they lob over Japan? Preferably Japan would do that but seems like they need some more equipment. I know the Standard Missiles are only test-proven in small sample sizes but if we can do it, shouldn’t we? Imagine if someone was lobbing…

The answer is no. No, you are not guaranteed a ride. So the WAV situation is equivalent to a regular customer.

I think there’s a big difference with on-demand service. With a cab, half of them are accessible because otherwise disabled passengers would never be able to find one. Less than 1% of the population uses a wheelchair. So on its face, half the cabs being required to be wheelchair accessible is absurd and a downside of…

Rogue One is probably my favorite Star Wars movie made. It is so refreshing, fun and my favorite part is that the characters behave logically.

I really wish they would go public so I could invest. One of my favorite consumer products companies. Everything they touch blows the competition away for half the price.

I really enjoy the Merritt Parkway in CT. No trucks, tree lined and set up in such a way that there aren’t many places for cops to hide. Thus, everyone drives a brisk 80 mph in a 55 zone.

Sorry, 34x as large so it is big. Got my millions and billions confused. Disregard

It’s not a “big merger”...Amazon’s market cap is $467 Billion. They bought Whole Foods for $13.7 Million. Amazon is 34,087x as large as Whole Foods.

Very well said. I graduated from college and started working at a startup made up of ~15 highly paid, executive-level people and myself. I quickly realized that they were all resume-padding, absolutely worthless, high-functioning morons.

Since when do bodyguards wear Rolex’s? Sign me up.

They are very different. If you hit the ice with the force people hit the boards with you’d break bones. The boards are actually quite forgiving (relatively speaking). Ice is like hitting cement.

Actually, these investors think it’s worth a lot more than $110M. Generally, the funds raised in each round would be for 20-25% of the company. So this would value Grammarly at a staggering $440-$550 million dollars.

It’s because anyone with half a brain wouldn’t go near a political career. And those who do generally end up having to pander to the uneducated masses or the incumbent idiots to keep their job.
