The rules for innovation in Australia are paywalled & crumbling.
Mandatory standards for EV charging or batteries cost hundreds to access. This is slowing the net-zero transition and killing innovation.

A Higher Standard for Standards | Inflection Points
Standards are the invisible architecture of technological progress. In Australia, that architecture is paywalled and crumbling—and it's making it harder to build.

The demographic of the people on bikes also says a lot about how safe they feel riding.

A line. A line of cars, where you spend your whole morning, to drop your kids off at school, when they could walk or ride a bike.
Instagram, you are sending me the wrong ads.
I love oats! But not this lifestyle.
Forced car dependency is such a bummer.

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago.
Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?”
But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth.
You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars.

Ok… let's get serious. I googled images of Subway "sandwiches" and based on the canonical definition of "sandwich" this is not a sandwich. It may have been a foot long, it may have been thrown, it may have hit the cop, but it was not a sandwich. It is—at best—an unappetizing hoagie. Mistrial.

I just got back from a walk. While I was walking through the park, a little white boy and his father flagged me down from the very other end of the park. Now to be fair, I have on my hat on, so I’m easy to spot lol. The little boy drew me this. A month ago. He has been waiting to see me again.

Part of the reason I would never leave New York (besides the obvious point that it’s the greatest city in the world) is that I’d have to learn how to drive and it turns out that private car ownership is bonkers expensive if you aren’t already indoctrinated into the expectation of it.
This is framed as a story about the economy, but it's also a story about the staggering financial costs of car dependency in the United States
Car payments are steeper than ever. Many Americans can’t afford it. - The Boston Globe
Delinquencies and repossessions are both at record highs, as steep loan terms make it harder for car owners to keep up with their payments.

Survived a couple of major storms in the last couple of weeks and then just had our power shut off by Energex with zero warning. Time to get a home battery?

"cultural misalignment". A culture of concentrating wealth and shafting their employees.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.
