eBay is taking ~14% of all sales between people. How has no one built a viable competitor to this for a lower take rate?

FB marketplace is slightly cheaper but very scammy and still 10%

Forget competing with Amazon @elonmusk you should just build an alternative to eBay. High trust accounts here would flourish.

No matter how reputable a survey company is, you should deeply question political surveys because of something called “Nonresponse bias.”

People who answer surveys often differ from those who don't. If people with strong political opinions are more likely to participate, demographic weighting will not fully correct the sample.

But what does happen is said survey gets to be used for whatever flavor of propaganda it’s pushing.

I think people memory-holed this, or maybe the average person isn't aware... but an INSANE amount of money was "loaned" to "businesses" during Covid as PPP loans and a very high percentage of them were just forgiven.

For "reasons"

@joshdavis77 That isn’t the point. Sheep.

@valueandtime They cannot legally do an airdrop anymore and can’t legally talk about that fact now.

Quest Diagnostics has been hacked. Patient data was exposed. They serve roughly half of U.S. hospitals and physicians. Investigation ongoing.

You’re right.

But my theory is that Rick, Ellison, and a few other folks created a little secret board that is going to fund her to squeak out a win and then basically have her do their bidding after.

Which…in theory is an ok outcome though there are plenty of limits still with LA county.

I’ve really gotten back into Chess lately.

I’m still making a lot of errors and missing easy attack vectors from different angles, especially if they are 1-2 steps ahead.

Tips?!?

I think more normal people need to start making flags to represent them. Too many crazy people have a monopoly on flags.
