Interest rates, inflation and the value of the Dollar, as well as energy costs for transportation of goods. All linked together. Then there is the supply and demand equation, if too much money is printed and demand increases out of balance with supply, prices increase. In my industry, mortgage...

What is interesting about that video, despite his speech having no problem compared to today, is that I lived through the apartheid years in South Africa. So I experienced what he was talking about. What he did not tell you, is that the USA strongly supported the ruling South African party at...

It's the tires, we all have the same problem. Just Google "Michelin Road 6 pulling left" and you will see everyone who notices it. When you have your hands on the bars, you won't notice it, but if you want to use cruise control, it becomes an issue.

May be a thread hack, but we are really talking about what causes inflation and gas prices has a big impact. I own a cabinet business. Bidenomics, when he tells you how well the economy is doing. January 2022 we could do all the cabinetry in the average 2,200 sq ft house for around $12,000...

I may be wrong, but I think there is a chance that he drops out of the race and gets replaced by Gavin Newsome or someone else.

What is it if not a Hayabusa platform? Copy and paste, so this is just Suzuki Marketing? “It was a weekend for the books. The things we accomplished as a team, including making six runs under the old national record and the four quickest 60-foot times in class history, are a testament to our...

^^^^ Let’s wait until after the second debate to form an opinion of who will possess best health and cognitive abilities 4 years from today. Will be great if Biden agrees to Trump’s suggestion of a joint drug test prior to each debate, so at least we know the playing field is level.

Yep, I agree with you. We can add Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis to your list in their best days.

And there I was, thinking Bee believes the world won't change much 100 years from today.

You need a profile on Uber, with your personal details, before you can use the app. You rate the driver and the driver rates you. In NY, it has gone as far as when you apply for a job, the employer looks at your Uber rating and if it is not good, (meaning you don't tip and treat the Uber...

How does Uber work in your part of the world? I have never used it stateside, but my last two visits to South Africa, pickup from the hotel was within 2 minutes of using the app on my phone, and the destination was out in the country. From there back to the hotel was a 10 minute wait for...

“Ever” is a long time. We have seen exponential changes over the past 100 years. I believe to think the current way of living in North America 100 years from now won’t change is a bit naive.

There are many places in Europe where life is very different to what you describe. 60% + people don’t have cars, work, shopping is within walking distance and leisure is easily accomplished with public transport. New York City is close to the same.

Crude oil as energy only happened in 1892, before that it was discarded as a byproduct. I believe there will always be the need and use of crude oil, albeit in much smaller quantities than today. I guess there is a reason why all high speed rail transport today runs on electricity.

In 1903 the Wright Brothers had their first flight. In 1969, 66 years later we put a man on the moon. I am pretty sure Humans are smart enough to have the grid and solid state batteries sorted out by 2100 which is 77 years from today.
