Uber continues to operate at a loss, disguised by accounting maneuvers, and uses distractformation so people will not notice.

The first article says that Uber rides now often cost more than taxi rides used to cost — which means that the supposed benefit for the public is gone. Apparent advantages for riders turn out to have been a temporary loss-leader that could not continue.

It is possible to use taxis anonymously, but you need to do it the right way. You must (1) not use an app to call the taxi, (2) not identify yourself by calling with your own phone or giving your own name, and (3) pay cash.

Every time you leave the house, make sure you have enough cash for your expected purchases, plus a sufficient amount for other opportunity purchases.

*The Arctic remains a place we barely understand. "We are starting to understand it better, but by the time we do it will be gone."*

I wonder, would it be possible to make portable solar-powered freezer units to generate and maintain floating ice pads for walruses?
