Having lived overseas, the US isn't a "veritable wonderland of consumer choice". There are 5 grocery store chains, for the great majority of the country there is one way to travel: car. At the store (Kroger), I can buy 2 kinds of salt on the shelves. Where is the "veritable choice"? It has been told in the advertising but the reality is very limited.

They are not executive employees, they are Musk employees, not the same thing.

Nah! I think the CEOs should be the first ones sent into the combat front line zones.

I agree completely! My favorite weed killer is my own two hands and a weeder. Having said that, I live in Arizona and the dominant landscape design here is trees and bushes planted with rocks for the ground cover. A leaf rake is real good at picking up both the leaves and the rocks. I wish there was a leaf rake that didn't pick up the rocks. I have grudgingly bought an electric leaf blower because of the rocks :-(

Don't trust the "Cloud" for your backups.

My impression on both is that they are US/European centric. Not very true to their "scouring the world for newspapers" line. So, they only show events that impact or are reported on in those areas. I know that newspapers.com has a few (2 or 3) asian newspapers but that is all.

Very True! It is about choice of transit. The US has NO Choice of Transit. It is either Car or nothing. How very free that is to be limited to 1 choice!
