What part of world? Hard to do in US or Western Europe, unless with parents.

Another disruptor company that did nothing but hurt the industry.

I realized that I was making the same $35,000 per year in 1997 that I was making in 2012 doing the same job for a different company. There is def a problem out there.

This is pretty terrifying.

I can't get enough.

Nice work!

I'm right there with you. I don't understand it either.

My best guess is that some people aren't money-driven. For example, a lot of people I went to school with got "useless" majors, and from time to time I would hear them make comments like "it's not about the money", or "I was born to do this". And in their heads, that all takes precedence over the almighty dollar.

And then real life hits them like a freight train, and they are suddenly $40k in student loan debt with a degree that makes no money.

The problem is that these are some of the same people that constantly complain about how little money they make.

I feel somewhat sorry for people like this, but it's also like "did you expect to make a livable wage in Santa Barbara with a Forestry degree, Kevin?".

Some people just don't plan ahead. Idk man.

I easily spend €250-300 a month on groceries and I often buy things at cheaper supermarkets. So I think €100 in Western Europe would be extremely frugal.

I do eat a high protein and reasonably high vegetables diet. So if I sacrificed my health I could spend less. But it would also be very easy to spend €400 a month if you don’t pay much attention.

That's the thing: there aren't any corporate profits either. DoorDash consistently loses a hundred million dollars a quarter, and the more business they do, the more money they lose. Read that last phrase again: it's the sure sign of a broken business model.

The problem is easy to see from OP's chart: working 14 hours a day, he makes 2600 deliveries at $26,000/year, or $10 per delivery. Not many people are gonna pay $10 to have $10 worth of Taco Bell delivered, so DoorDash charges less than that and pays OP more, taking a loss.

If we want OP to earn an actual living wage, with health insurance and coverage for gas and wear and tear on his car, it's gonna cost at least $30 per delivery. Ain't nobody on Earth going to pay that much.

Whether you're a customer, a dasher, or a stockholder, Doordash just. Doesn't. Work.

That's great! You should share your visualization too.

My labels for "fiction" are quite loose, and not rigorous at all. By "historical fiction", I generally mean novels published before 1900. "Modern fiction" generally refers to novels published between 1900 and 2000, and "Contemporary fiction", is anything after 2000.

Maybe you are just getting older

Found Marco Inaros.

All three of his novels are great. I laughed out loud several times while reading Amerika, because the humor, while strange, is very sharp.

I followed a simple process for making the vizualization. I had all the information about the books that I read on one Excel sheet. This was: book name, author, publishing year, publisher, language, number of pages. I would update this sheet regularly as the year passed. Then, I had one sheet where all the data was aggregated. Finally, on a third sheet, I built all the graphs and summaries mostly based on the aggregated data. I then just took a screenshot of that sheet.

>Anheuser-Busch, a Belgian-Brazilian brewing company, is sponsoring the World Cup for more than 30 years. Although their leading brand is Budweiser, the only World Cup they missed since 1986 was the World Cup that took place in United States in 1994.

i just began so there’s a lot of books that i still need to register. also i will build some more dashboards

So the guitarist in my kinda hobby band has been doing this for five years. I cannot understand why. The guy works well over 60 hours a week and can barely afford to pay rent or buy strings for his guitar, even. When we play at a club he misses out on almost a whole day’s pay because of load-in times and whatnot. And because he never has even two cents to rub together it is very stressful for him.

I have tried to explain that he could make more money literally working at McDonald’s, but he likes the “freedom” of gig driving work. What fucking freedom, Steven? You can’t even afford to join the rest of us for dinner or a concert, or buy fun things for your guitar setup, and you have to work almost every waking moment of every day? It honestly makes me crazy.

Nice work! You should add Bruce Willis as an option.

You could have done that in 2018 if you bought my book! But yeah, at least you're here now.

Budweiser didn’t sponsor USA 94? There wasn’t even an alternative beer sponsor. I would have thought that would be the one they would sponsor more.

I know that, but if so,many people are supposedly fleeing to the greener pastures of the south why are we building more houses than them?

Nice now that i know your medical history i can finaly steal your identity
