Hopefully beyond meat and similar companies are able to continue to drive forward their research. I had a Beyond Burger for the first time recently and it was unsettling. The flavor was beef-like but the texture was wrong. I will happily ea

They must be counting multiple markets per country. There aren't that many countries in the world and there are a significant number of countries where Uber doesn't operate all. As an example, afaik they no longer operate anywhere

that actually sounds like quite a good idea. At least it would serve as a good conversation starter and provide insight into how they think. I'd caution against a toy project however. Just find something small and contained. Toy projec

You've touched on one of the ways I think a country can end up with an ingrained police bribery problem. The government knows they need a larger police force but that would cost more than the government can afford. How can you have the
