Another neighbourhood in Kyoto has also thought about outright banning tourists after having to deal with them just walking into people's homes. The neighbourhood is known for its old architecture. They're still private homes. It's nice you think the old houses look cool, you can't just walk into them.

The Pentagon needs to have Elon Musk sit in on their Russia-Ukraine meetings because he owns 50% of all satellites in orbit and if he wanted to he could single handedly sway the war effort. Some guy with money literally bought his way into top level Pentagon meetings.

I've worked at so many places where there are multiple mid-level managers with overlapping responsibilities and staff. It just leads to conflicting orders and the people who get in trouble when things don't get done are the workers and never the managers who issued impossible tasks.

I liked Jon Stewart's take, paraphrased:

"Tech companies say AI is going to cure cancer and fix climate change...and they put it in a toaster. I got making toast covered. Please keep working on the curing cancer thing"

Yeah this is just selfishness. Capitalism is when the one kids father bought the tree decades ago and now that kid has the legal right to all of its fruits forever despite doing literally nothing.

I could see the old man making his account
"Breeding college? I'm a big supporter of American agriculture."

It's poisoning and drug overdose. I can only assume fentanyl is the reason for a huge spike in that area.
