There is plenty of "work" that happens outside of the labor market. Some days I pay a babysitter to take care of my daughter; other days my wife has off instead and does the same job. Once, my battery died and a paid a tow truck f

Can major hub airports handle 4x the traffic of smaller planes vs large planes (I honestly don't know)? In the NYC area, in particular, air traffic congestion is a huge problem so "adding more flights" is not a practical opt

So why not offer a free service that doesn't support attachments and offer attachment support as a paid upgrade?

Actually, yes. Just like advances in agricultural technology lead to job destruction in agriculture. We went from a majority of the global human population working in agriculture to a tiny minority in a few centuries. That labor was largely

If you got the average eCPM that these numbers indicate ($2) then you'd make about $1 for 500 views; could be more, could be less (CPM = cost per thousand)
