Why would a sponsor pay for an ad if they know nobody will watch? Its not magic money out of nowhere; the sponsor has to come out net positive or else they stop sponsoring.

Or, historically, when you’re building a new factory, the first thing you do is build a rail connection right next to it

It’s owned and populated by history and science/engineering YouTubers, so if you’re not usually watching that side of YouTube, you might not find much on Nebula for you.

I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.

You know the federal reserve turned a profit from their intervention during the Great Recession era, right? Like, you don’t actually think it was just Obama throwing helicopter money, right?

Name an industry where a private corporation competes with a local government monopoly?

Very interesting! I’ve never heard of adding fluoride to table salt, but I can’t see why not!

lol, I wonder how they staff “70-ish pizzerias per person”. That’s one hell of a short-staffed environment! 1/70th of an employee per shop!

This example was provided as an estimated upper limit - you could drive to basically the furthest-away big city within 60 hours. Other cities would be substantially less than that, because that’s an upper limit.

Driving from a small town on the western tip of NC… let’s say Franklin, NC, to Washington DC takes only 8 hours… but driving to Knoxville, TN or Atlanta, GA would only take you 2 hours.

Gave me a chuckle to see “have kids, move away, go to prison, and die” listed as a typical life trajectory.

You don’t recognize the ruling party on the Chinese mainland? What is this, Taiwan?
