I'm finally done with [Amazon, Facebook, Uber, etc.] that is, until I realize that they are monopolies with no viable alternative in many markets.https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/985564847940108288 …

Yap. Also it's strange how in NYC uber and yellow taxis are real competitors but in virtually every other american city i visited taxis costs twice as much.

In almost every city in the U.S., the expectation is that you will need a car so when people visit they rent one and when they live in one, they own, so traditional taxi demand/population has historically been very low.

We had the unfortunate circumstance of having most of our development occur AFTER the development of the automobile so most of our cities west of Chicago are totally car-centric, less livable, and hideous.

Never really thought about it that way, but makes perfect sense, thanks!

I have been spending a lot of time thinking about this since moving to Dallas. In your picture of the protests in Budapest, I pointed out Costa Coffee and G-star because they were the exceptions, not the rule. Other than those two shops, Budapest is beautiful!

Thanks! Generally, you can clearly see in Eastern or Central European cities which part was built during the Middle Ages or Neoclassical era (beautiful) vs during Communism or more broadly the late modern era (ugly as fuck).

I haven't been to Europe since I was very young. I look forward to checking this out in person, though I'm familiar with it over the internet. If you're interested in this type of thing I recommend following @wrathofgnon

Southern Germany is also beautiful btw. I basically spent 2014 going on random weekend trips to towns centered around Munich with friends. e.g. Rothenburg ob der Tauberpic.twitter.com/xLQuIdiwdf
