Well although I have TSA Pre, and you should too, I can give your argument some merit. Yes one thing I like about trains - their ONLY redeeming quality - is that if the trip says 2 hours, then it is really JUST 2 hours out of your day Where

Yes it was a comment about how unappealing this is, we do the same thing whenever somebody else here brags about the tech solution which lacks product market fit. Shopping for a home has to appeal to people that are in the market for a home

My problem with this idea is that it assumes this is the ONLY issue that a multinational corporation would be aware of. There would be so many counterweighting forces at play at any time that it would be EASY to rationalize why this one sho
