  5. Re:Completely Unrelated on Two Koreas Agree To End War This Year, Pursue Denuclearization (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    And how do you know all this? Maybe Kim is a little bit more clever than you think he is and doesn't believe the current path for NK is sustainable. We recently made peace with Cuba without interfering with the current political structure and without hangings. Perhaps Kim sees himself as the savior that will reestablish some sense of normalcy to NK. Just a thought but I bet being a dictator in NK is both isolating and boring.

    Most good older plumbers write estimates and have a couple of younger guys that do the work.

    How much does labor go into cost of meat... 5%? So labor takes 8% and meat is suddenly unaffordable?

    How is this good for uber? Autonomous cars will make the price of entry for a competitor vanishingly small.... and most of the margin from this will come from capitol and maintenance where Uber has no advantage.

    Which is exactly why uber will fail. With no 'social networking component' someone can sink 100Million into automated cars and 1million for software and do exactly the same thing. What will Uber have that they won't?
