Don’t worry, we can get our lead from spices and every food that includes them. Lead is cheaper to get than cinnamon and even cocoa, so it ends up being favored adulterant to increase weight at sale.

Lemonade purchased Metromile and significantly increased prices. 2.5x if I recall correctly. This has forced me to move to Geico. Now, since prices have increased and new self driving car insurance is giving a discount, are you effectively paying same old rate?

Jam resistant comms are critical for drones, and other precision weapons and their infrastructure. Even if line of sight is interrupted modern drones can return to signal nowadays, relay information, and return to target with corrections. You may not need optical cable anymore

Well, with enthusiasm like that it is no wonder China and Russia banned all western social media and are actively trying to replace these services with homegrown. China was first, Russia late to the party, but working on it.

I am afraid we might be too late for maglev party with self driving on the horizon. Non-functioning last mile transportation and ruined cities (as in for pedestrians and density) are another shadow.
