I never really thought about it, but could online shopping + delivery actually be much more environmentally friendly? i.e rather than having everyone drive do to their own shopping.
This is with the assumption that a single delivery truck can hit multiple customers on their route, and in the context of more rural\suburban areas.
Maybe the time is ripe for change. Time to start a Airbnb competitor that doesn't follow the mantra "growth at all costs", and doesn't put its own revenue stream above the good of society.
I wonder how the world would've looked like if companies with valuation greater than 100 billion (adjusted to inflation) just wouldn't be allowed to purchase and\or merge with other companies.
We should all be working only 3\4 days of the week.
When you think of it, it's crazy how we just succumb to the notion that we have to work at least 5 days a week (yay magic numbers) just so we can please our corporate overlords.
