My Opinions

[LACEY @Lacey_xenon]

That moment made me think differently about priority seats.

The 76-year-old man had a legitimate reason to need the seat.

So did the 27-year-old woman.

The difference was simple:

His struggle was visible. Hers wasn’t.

That’s why I think we should be careful about judging people based on appearance.

But priority seats shouldn’t become meaningless either.

If someone genuinely needs the accommodation more, their need should generally take priority.

You can offer a seat without demanding someone’s medical history.

Sometimes the person you’re silently judging is dealing with something you cannot see.

More local potential in Addis for their developers than most of Africa. The wide usage of Amharic cuts out outsiders.

@kenentrepreneur I wondered about Zuma too, then figured with 47 years life expectancy in SA the 39 year old saw no risk. ARVs can last 20

@wazua Henry was the smarter one here as every founders dream is to get best value. Some was sleeping on the job. I thought he was half Jew?
