You’d miss out on getting punked by your Italian friends in Italy when they get you to order a beer with a pasta dish (chef came out and asked who the American was).

Has anybody else ever pontificated about the future, with almost complete inaccuracy, as much as Musk? It’s just incredible people ignore the track record and instead stick with ”maybe the fortune teller will be right this time”.

An alternate explanation is that companies are paying for huge AI investment by putting hiring on hold.
Also, as to whether these trends continues or it reverts, unknown. An oft cited comparison is rise of Excel, some jobs were lost but others ended up getting created and was a wash.

Definitely a scammish business model In general. PE is good at finding weak points of human lives and exploiting them for every cent.

The game with my storage place seems to be you prepay for 12 months at the intro rate - then cancel and change to different unit for that intro rate, prepay those 12 months etc. They feed off the people who stay in one unit, ratcheting up the rates to oblivion.
