20% of people employed in NYC don’t live there. So that explains ~940,000 people who are probably driving.

13,000 vehicles in NYC are taxis. 77,000 active ride share drivers. These are used by the 176,000 daily tourists.

That brings the total number of cars in NYC largely serving people who don’t actually live there to 1.1m most days.

There are 2.1 million registered cars in NYC. That means 1:3 cars currently in the city represent people who don’t live there. That is roughly 1/3 of all cars in NYC. Likely closer to 50% or more of the actual traffic since the average NYC resident does not drive their car every day.

Yes, the issue with that though is it is used in very advanced conductors. The kind of conductors that can only be produced in advanced factories by advanced large societies. If a collapse actually happened how do you fancy that factory works exactly? You gonna run a conductor factory to sell those conductors to who exactly? The potato farmer you are trying to convince to give you potatoes for that very same gold?

Low grade electronics that would be valuable in even a simpler smaller community like basic generators and light bulbs use exactly zero gold. Copper on the other hand is needed for almost all of that

Your recipes are a local string!? Are you storing duplicate recipes for apple pie in your Apple class and your sugar, flour, butter, salt, water, cinnamon, and lemon classes?

Yes, many at risk programs and housing programs and even Medicare and Medicaid provide phones and other devices to members and those device contracts with Google or via a cellular provider are for hundreds of thousands to millions of people depending on the state or federal program doing the purchasing. There isn’t a reality where those contracts will ever not be for first party devices. Even if we wanted to we couldn’t buy people one plus or other non-Google branded android devices and laptops in these programs because the companies selling them don’t meet various regulatory standards required by the programs.

These people are literally the most at risk and don’t get individual choice for their devices. The devices are being provided in the first place because too many modern systems require internet and phone access. Id.me, login.gov, MFA for your library app, your epic or Athena portals for healthcare, etc…

Where will you peer to once these laws are active everywhere. That’s where this is actually headed

To generate clicks. Outrageous headlines drive engagement back to their site. What percentage of us clicked through and ended up reading something else.

Otherwise Reuters is owned by the Thompson family via Woodbridge investment company. Woodbridge or the thompsons could be buying, selling, shorting shares of Costco or a competitor and are nudging the trading algorithms.

They never sold the product. This is Reuters being slimy. The headline and article have been corrected:

Aug 14 (Reuters) - (This Aug. 14 story has been corrected to say that Costco will 'not sell' mifepristone instead of 'stop selling' the pill in paragraph 1 and removes reference to 'stopping sale' in paragraph 2)

This is like being angry at a gas station for never selling prescription lenses because they happen to have sunglasses on a rack in the front. Like, yes people buy reading glasses, and the gas station sells other kinds of glasses. But people tend to go to CVS to buy them so the gas station doesn’t want to carry them and, most importantly, never has in the entire history of their company.

I’m not 100% certain what our attorney did to structure our trust but we were able to do this without the trust having to buy the house itself and still could utilize a CRA loan program loan from a traditional bank and avoid PMI at a lower down payment.

From experience, basically no banks take collateral on co-owned homes. You probably won’t run into problems like that specifically. You can also easily structure an agreement with a lawyer. In many states you have to have an attorney to buy a home anyway (CT, MA, GA, DE, KY, LA, MD, MI, NH, ND, OK, RI, VT, WV, WO). We used ours to write and tack on the equivalent of an HOA arrangement you’d see in a condominium for our shared rooms.

I do find it amusing we have redditors arguing landlords should be illegal and others arguing co-ownership is a bad idea. Yes, let’s build millions of single room houses for everyone who is single that span the entire continent.
