When I worked at Taco Bell in high school, if we ran out of sauce it always damn near started a war.

Sorry, customers, I’m not in charge of the shipments!

There have been concerns of a real estate crash in China for several years, with different problems than the potential real estate crash that could happen here in the United States.

That being said, China “on the edge” is certainly a title meant to get you to click on the link. Economies wax and wane, after all.

This is the next Black Mirror episode for sure

I’m trying to have a discussion about innovation in space, something that goes beyond Russia, and has a clear history.

Sorry I didn’t bag on Russia enough, I thought you guys were doing a good enough job of that already without me

If you take a look at the lunar missions for space race, you’ll see many of them happened within a year of each other. It’s a wonder there weren’t more failures!

That took me way longer than I wanted it to.

Zuckerberg still wants that match. Decided to step into the social media ring
