the 2 types of businesses that will still exist in 5 years:

globochain that prices everything based on a real-time check of your bank statement. takes apple pay

deli with prices written in marker. the owner hates having customers but you keep going because the egg salad is really good. cash only
Yeah, the "dynamic pricing" in big box stores is the same. Depending on who is looking at the tag, time of day, etc. the price for items can literally change from the shelf to the register. 😤 Freaking DISNEY is even going to start using it! deadline.com/2025/11/disn...

You cannot run the basic infrastructures of a functioning society- healthcare to education-on systems that cut out human empathy & negotiation. So we have to reassert over and over again that the problems aren’t glitches or errors—even big ones. The problems are fundamental, systematic, endemic.
