We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

So wait, you mean Canadians weren’t going to Vegas because they were actually broke, not because their elbows were up………?

We rode the Toronto subway and built an AI agent for the TTC. In under 10 minutes. On a moving train. With phone hotspot wifi. Then we handed it to real commuters and filmed what happened. The TTC has had 30 years to make their customer service better. We had one laptop and a
