@LionnetPierre@payloadspace@TimFernholz Healthy skepticism is helpful, blind cynicism is not. “Stock is down” is not a meaningful criticism of anything. Those are two companies trying to do very specific things. They aren’t penny stocks. One has market cap of $550 mil usd the other $400 mil.
@WeHaveMECO@joroulette Most of the news is not clear enough that this is just Lane 1 which is an open competition not the block buy. So could

@StatisticUrban@PhillyGov Dc Chicago and Philly should all
