Talking about rip to nyc, weren't critical parts of the subway basically crumbling and in need of extensive maintenance? What happened with that?

UK's economic numbers show full on collapse happening there. Europe as a whole is in a recession still.

Then they'd have to work with actual physical-item touchers instead of interacting with pure number.

Then they'd have to deal with the reality-grounding elements of "commodity pricing" and we can't have that

Bouquet prices are out of control in general, but for that price you can get them from a local florist with much better quality. To see that price at a supermarket is loving insane.

They were $50 yesterday, that's grocery stores optimizing pricing to gouge last minute buyers. All of these grocery chains use price optimization software nowadays.

right now is the best time to air freight down to Columbia where these flowers probably came from.

empty planes in Miami head back back to Bogota so the rates right now are dirt cheap.

It's pretty neat that all of these places with a near monopoly on their local markets answer to mindless computers which know exactly when to gouge you for maximum profit.
