Stocks of these firms have dropped. Trump and friends will now buy up the stocks. Then the statement will be rolled back, the policy will never be implemented, and Trump and friends will sell the climb.
Typical grifting and corruption in America these days.
The problems with these are:
They’re basically a motorcycle in non-motor spaces, which creates major safety problems. We have the same problem with “fatbike” ebikes in the Netherlands, where they’re super chunky and being driven by novices (youth) who create risk to others.
It’s nice to have alternatives to driving, but these are pretty poor alternatives. Also, they tend to only exist in tourist areas and tourist cities, meaning they aren’t actually useful for residents.
I used to live in a “Sunbelt” college town that branded itself as bike friendly, had loads of trails around the city, built some pleasant outdoor spaces, and had an active transportation committee for the city. I attended some of those meetings, and they always started with a monthly review of pedestrian and cyclist injuries from automobiles - during every review, law enforcement, members of the committee, and even the city council member chairing the committee and who claimed to be pro-bike, would ALL make up any carbrain excuse for the driver of the car. “Well technically the cyclist had the right of way, but… <Defends car>”. Cyclist went when the crossing was green and the car ran a red? Still the cyclist’s fault.

Now I have to worry about my son being drafted.
EU tech companies keep letting themselves be sold to US tech companies, or re-HQing to America.
Capitalism can’t solve problems created by capitalism. The largest companies will always gobble up the competition, eliminating the alternatives.
I feel a little prescient here.
I tried it. It’s missing a lot of features and has a pretty empty database.
I appreciate that it doesn’t have ads, but that isn’t really much of a selling point if it doesn’t do the job.
I always recommend this app to everyone who does any amount of traveling: Where Is Public Toilet
It helps you find public toilets, explains their hours and amenities, and lets you rate them. You can download the toilet map and use it offline. It’s a real trousers saver.
The family who owns most of the shares, and who were the authors of the anti-lgbt donations policies, vowed to replace the company’s direct contributions with their own contributions sourced via the company’s profits and dividends.
It moved who does the direct donation, but buying from Chick-fil-A still funds anti-lgbt efforts.

Yes. I was allowed in under a highly skilled migrant visa to work a tech job.
Americans will never take the action necessary to remove bad politicians who are destroying their lives. Never. The politicians will allow them to vote, only because they can manipulate the narrative during elections using excessive campaign contributions, making the public blame their neighbors instead of the corruption at the top.
They’re walking this back pretty fast. The fear they created in consumers of total lock-in must have had an impact on sales numbers.

I basically have a decade worth of games to catch up on.
Fully work from home. I start late on Mondays and Thursdays because I have Dutch lessons in the morning. I usually work from my small home office, or sometimes sitting on my sofa or rarely at a cafe. I don’t usually have meetings on Mondays or Fridays and log off at around 5:30. On Tuesday through Thursday, I often work until around 7:00 in order to have virtual meetings with coworkers in other timezones. Most days, I skip breakfast or have something light, and opt for an early lunch (sometimes that’s breakfast food).
Outside of meetings, I use an automated time management tool to block off times for certain tasks so that I don’t forget to do them daily. The rest of the time is deep work, hopping from project to project. My work is done in 2 week intervals, and I usually accomplish 15-20 project tasks per interval. During the day, I frequently field random notifications to myself or my team in channels on our comm tool. During deep work time, to keep my brain from falling apart, I tend to put on a comfort show or something not too engaging. A large chunk of my work is also stakeholder management, talking people away from metaphorical cliffs that will hurt the business.
I’m running at 120% at all times. My brain is mush at all times. I’m deeply burned out.
