What are you talking about? Starlink never worked in russia. It worked in Ukraine, and it was shutdown in Ukraine by using a white list for which any Ukrainian can easily apply.
The goal was to shutdown Starlink usage by russian drones in Ukraine and by anyone on the occupied Ukrainian territories.
Look, I would really like to mention everyone every time, but it is so tiresome to be honest, all of these guys are awful and all of them are connected if not through epstein, then through some other private club.
> Imagine a tutor that stays with you as long as you need for every concept of math, instead of the class moving on without you and that compounding over years.
I remember when I was at the uni, the topics I learned the best were the ones I put effort to study by myself at home. Having a tutor with me all the time will actually make me do the bare minimum as there always were other things to do and I would love to skip the hard parts and move forward.
I think both of you are right but looking at different sections of the trend.
In general, taxi business is very tough and tend to became worse over time due to the systems in play.
Old taxi services quality varied widely, i.e. in some areas they went into shit already while in some they were still great.
Living in a big city with pretty lax taxi regulations I experienced whole range with some providers being top quality.
Uber injected billions into the market attracting a whole lot of new people to start doing taxi gigs, which made quality much better for some regions where regular taxi was already bad, but overall, the taxi business model was not changed much if at all.
When the free money dried out, and it became obvious that uber will not be able to transition into self-driving taxi service, the quality of their service starts going to shit everywhere.
In my city, local taxies developed their own apps which are not much worse than uber, some continue to provide old style service, and uber became the provider with the lowest quality.
In my opinion, Uber business model is based on the fact that “gig workers” cannot calculate the proper amortization cost of the vehicle, so when the time goes by, companies who do know how to calculate the proper costs provide better service.
Since it is Christmas and we are talking about welcoming strangers in your house, I think we need to remember the story of the author of the most popular Christmas Carrol ("Carrol of the bells") - Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych.
His family was hosting a stranger in their house for the night in 1921. Stranger said he has nowhere to go, so they allowed him to stay in the room with Leontovych himself.
The stranger ended up being a Russia undercover checkist who killed Leontovych and robbed his family. [0]
What is your intent in sharing this? Why do we need to remember this story? Do you - and others who are talking about how strangers might murder you and your family - really think that people don't consider that risk or something?
