The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day I got in...
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
I CAN READ ARTICLES FROM INC. AND FAST COMPANY IN THIS METAVERSE UPS STORE
SHOULD I READ ABOUT

* THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK FLEXIBILITY
* ENCOURAGING NEXT GENERATION ENTREPRENEURSHIP
* 5 SIMPLE STEPS TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
* 4 CRUCIAL MISTAKES TO AVOID AS A SMALL BUSINESS
I CAN JUMP IN FRONT OF THIS INC. AND FAST COMPANY ARTICLE ABOUT WORK FLEXIBILITY

JUMPING

IN THE METAVERSE

HOW'S THAT FOR #FLEXIBLEWORKING
A COMPANY PAID MONEY FOR THIS AND PEOPLE WORKED ON THIS AND THEY WERE PAID MONEY AND MEANWHILE OUR PLANET IS BURNING AND FREEZING AND FLOODING

DID YOU KNOW I'M IN THE UPS STORE

I'M IN THE UPS. STORE. YOU CAN'T STOP ME. I'M UNSTOPPABLE.

THERE'S THREE. MORE. FLOORS.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GET UPSTAIRS.

BUT THREE FLOORS IS ONLY A THREAT IN THE METAVERSE THIS UPS STORE COULD BE UNSTOPPABLE IN ITS VERTICAL HEIGHT.
CHECK IT OUT THOUGH.

BUT THAT'S ON FLOOR 3, THE AMPHITHEATER AND I AM NOT ON THAT FLOOR
OK I AM IN THE UNSTOPPABLE ACADEMY NOW AND I'M DOING SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO BUT HAVE NEVER DONE

I AM STANDING ON A TABLE IN THE ACADEMY PART OF A UPS STORE

THE METAVERSE IS AMAZING

I'M STANDING. ON. A. TABLE. IN. A. UPS. STORE.
BEING IN THE UPS STORE WHERE I AM BE UNSTOPPABLE IS USING 91% OF THIS MACBOOK PRO M1 PRO'S GPU AND THAT IS TOTALLY FINE AND EFFICIENT
I CAN EARN CUSTOM WEARABLES HERE

NOT, LIKE, A DISCOUNT AT UPS OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT ENTICE ME TO SPEND MONEY. NO.

CUSTOM WEARABLES.

THEY PUT TIERED SEATING IN HERE IN CASE IT GOT TOO BUSY AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SIT DOWN

I MEAN I HAVE LEGS SO YOU CAN TELL THIS IS NEXTGEN TECH, BUT, LIKE SITTING DOWN WOULD BE MINDBLOWING
DON'T FUCKING COME IN AS WELL YOU'LL JUST ENCOURAGE THEM

I have a theory that many of the people who thought Karen's purchase of Twitter would work out and would be a good thing have never had to deal with real, painful consequences of being disappointed by someone with power.
By that, I mean: it takes a certain kind of outlook to be able to look at someone and say yes, while in theory there's a good path forward, the *person* and their behavior indicates not just disappointment but likely harmful disappointment that needs planning for.
Shorter version: my theory is that the people who thought Elon would pull it off and discounted the possibility of his complete and utter omnipolyshambles because they have never, ever had to deal with real, personal, painful consequences of such behaviour.

20% of all American adults are on a financing plan to pay medical or dental debt. That's 50 million people. 25% of them, 12.5 million, are on plans paying interest.

Greatest country in the world. Healthcare is broken.

Private equity buying into healthcare providers *and* stacking financial services on top, what could go wrong?
Meanwhile, city governments -- local governments on the sharp end of delivery and ensuring there are social services for people -- are starting to do things like use taxpayer money to buy up private medical debt and forgive it. $1.6m forgives up to $240m buzzfeednews.com/article/steffi…
