25iQuiz: If people or businesses invest and consumer prices are reduced (consumers pay less) does GDP drop? If GDP drops has innovation gone down as a result of the investments?

2/ How have fintechs changed GDP? What they done to consumer surplus? What about producer surplus?

3/ "There are all kinds of wonderful new inventions that give you nothing as owners except the opportunity to spend a lot more money in a business that’s still going to be lousy. All of the advantages from great improvements are going to flow through to the customers.” C. Munger

Uber S-1 thoughts:

-AWS for transportation is its final form
-It's a modern day temp agency; driver churn is 3-5x below industry avg
-Eats cities profitable in 4-6 quarters, aggressive expansion impacted 2H‘18, 40% of users are new to Uber, and is a wedge into last mile delivery

Like most US companies, the US and developed Europe are likely Uber’s cash cows, but international revenue helps cover overhead, and can be incremental cash flow.

This a great deep dive comparing Uber and Lyft’s US vs International numbers:
