It's tough because sometimes these things can feel like a "tax", i.e. the general public does not need this item so they don't purchase it, but I now have to since there are no lon…

Shipping these back and forth seems to add much more waste (and cost) to the equation. I'd rather see grocery stores expand their "bulk sections" (where you self-serve just the amo…

In addition to that, AirBnB takes a lot of the headache out for hosts in regards to local laws. In San Francisco for example, AirBnB collects and remits the local hotel tax on beha…

Without lines/borders, where does one nation end and another begin? If you are suggesting no nations, what laws are you subject to and what protections do you have?

Woah, my doppelganger! I work in user acquisition, specifically in SEM (AdWords/Bing). Same reasons here: cursory knowledge of programming I self-taught when trying to automate tas…
