Even in those cities with it, public transportation is failing. The systems are archaic and outdated.
These fucks are the reason AI advancement is needed. Keep the workers and drop the C-suites in favor of AI replacements. How do you steal 1 million and nobody notices?! Then multiply that question by 42!?
Insert that “change my mind” meme: Brian May’s solos are the reason we rock out so hard to Queen!

But we’re not talking copyright laws, we’re talking Fair Use and I think musicians should be allowed to say, it’s fair use or X and not for Y
I don’t know why or how this keeps coming up. All musicians who want or don’t want their music used by a politician or political party should be on a list. If the song is on the banned list and it’s used, instant fine.

The Beatles smoke marijuana for the first time, supplied by Bob Dylan, who joins the band after one of their concerts in New York state. Dylan was surprised the boys hadn't tried it before, as he thought they sang "I get high" in their song "I Want To Hold Your Hand," when the real lyrics were actually "I can't hide."
The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein was found dead of an apparent drug overdose at his home in Belgravia, London, just a few weeks shy of his 33rd birthday. The Fab Four were in Bangor, North Wales at the time, attending a conference by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The death is ruled accidental and the Maharishi tells the Beatles that Epstein's death, being in the realm of the physical world, is "not important." The group would later renounce their association with the Maharishi and Epstein is remembered as being the man who took The Beatles from being a rough looking club act to the most successful band in the world. John Lennon would later recall that when he heard the news about Brian, "I thought, we've fuckin' had it."

Any business that tries this BS should be boycotted until they close. I don’t want them boycotted until they can recover, this is predatory and these businesses shouldn’t be allowed to exist

I personally don’t own one. I work a couple of shifts at a bar that does though, so I’m forced to interact with it. Personally I would never buy or recommend one.
But in my interaction with the speaker it sounds good, the app just never works. It’s clunky and not user friendly.
