HobbitFoot,

I am lazy! Thank you!

HobbitFoot,

The idea sounds great, but the implementation is shit and the fiduciary duty isn’t for those who bought the timeshare.

HobbitFoot,

Vegas exists for a reason.

HobbitFoot,

Why would they open it all at once?

HobbitFoot,

So, the USA has been trying to pull out of Europe for a while from a military standpoint. The EU is large and rich enough that it should be able to protect its own frontier without American involvement. It just happens to be that Europe would rather have the USA pay for its security rather than do it itself. So the EU is going to have to figure out creating a military and all that comes with it; effectively making the EU a nation.

If the USA leaves Europe, it will likely leave the Middle East as well. Oil isn’t worth controlling any more and the USA doesn’t have any interests there besides Israel. I expect more wars in the region as nations realign to more stable borders. This will likely include a lot of genocide.

I expect the USA to focus on the Americas, maintaining an anti-Chinese coalition, and trying to slow dedollarization. Asian allies will likely tolerate a fascist America more than Europe would.

HobbitFoot,

Borg? Sounds Swedish.

HobbitFoot,

Yep. My voice is my passport.

Greenland startup begins shipping glacier ice to cocktail bars in the UAE (www.theguardian.com)

Arctic Ice harvests ice from the fjords of Greenland, and then ships them to the United Arab Emirates to sell to exclusive bars. Using glacial ice in drinks is a common practice in Greenland, and, over the years, several entrepreneurs have unsuccessfully attempted to export it....

HobbitFoot,

There are specialty companies in New York City that supply cocktail ice, but the ice is designed with a good flavor profile and is completely clear.

HobbitFoot,

Or the recent wins of fascist parties in Europe.

HobbitFoot,

Initial comment about dumbassery not in the USA.

Reply back about additional dumbassery not in America.

You: bUt WhAt AbOuT aMeRiCa?

HobbitFoot,

Wow. He actually kept a copy of the movie for posterity.

HobbitFoot,

And would we even believe it if it told us?

HobbitFoot,

The US might, but I don’t see the EU giving up on them without major trade concessions.

HobbitFoot,

New content for streaming is going to fall off a cliff. Except maybe for Apple, no streamer seems willing to put money into new flashy shows the way they used to.

If a new breakout TV show hits this year, it is likely going to be more in the model of IASIP or Shoresy.

HobbitFoot,

A lot of people believed that companies could use monopoly pressure and building a market as a way to get a billion dollar company.

It turns out a lot of ride hail and food delivery services have very price sensitive demand.

HobbitFoot,

Layoffs may continue.

Profitable tech companies have to maintain their existing businesses, but development of new businesses is likely to stay low and unprofitable businesses are still scrambling to hit profitability before bankruptcy.

HobbitFoot,

Pulling back from investments is definitely related to the increased interest rate, but there really isn’t any government austerity in the federal government at the moment.

HobbitFoot,

Even the anticipated cut of 2.25% is still higher than why the Silicon Valley boom was based on. You are also seeing the cuts happening due to an anticipated recession.

HobbitFoot,

Either Uber or Lyft go bankrupt.

A lot of unicorns that aren’t currently profitable also go bankrupt as their funding dries up and there is no more available loans.

HobbitFoot,

I get it

HobbitFoot,

Fuck you, asshole!

Gratches took jobs from my family! It was hard earned money we hoped to get by not working hard until they came.

HobbitFoot,

How’s your bald spot?

HobbitFoot,

I wouldn’t ditch Windows entirely, but I could see the business case of making sure your game can run on SteamOS.

HobbitFoot,

I would figure that Janeway with “Mmm whatcha say?” would be her firing a phaser.

HobbitFoot,

I only watched the first season of Picard, but everything I hear about it makes me believe I made the right decision.
