What does this have to do with capitalism?

I know you're trying to be funny, but while AI does have many uses, I imagine the issue for Amazon was that much like self driving there were just too many edge cases to try to solve here.

That's not the point at all. They wanted to automate this with computers and it failed. They had to rely on workers in India to do the analysis. That's why they're canceling this service.

I'm sure large investment firms did buy a lot of homes, but to pretend no normal people took advantage of the interest rates is just ridiculous.

I don't think WFH is completely to blame for that. A significant contributor to the explosion in housing prices was historically low mortgage rates (<2%) as part of the covid era stimulus plans. This triggered a wave of home buying, which in turn led to a lot of panic from people that were afraid they would be priced out of the market and fueled further home buying.

How are suburbs subsidized and how are city costs inflated?

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur 1 points 10 months ago

I like suburbs because it's relatively calm, I can build a workshop in my garage, and there's still pretty good amenities. And it's significantly cheaper than the city.

Who pays extra for suburbs? Suburbs are significantly cheaper than the city.

Which is nice because the Philips always gets stripped.

Have you considered allergies? I had what I thought was a long running cold that caused congestion and coughing. In the end it turned out I had a dust mite allergy. This could be especially likely if your symptoms get worse at night.

You just pick one up and carry it across the road and then drop it off in the little bin on the other side. The idea is that you're more visible when you're holding a flag.
