I can't believe I'm saying this, but these companies need to pay more taxes. Losing $3.9 billion dollars on a stupid vanity project because they have nothing else to spend it on is ridiculous. Higher taxes would at least force them to be more efficient.
I don't think the technology is there yet. As long as people need to wear big bulky goggles and headsets it's not going to take off. Make something that's about as cumbersome as sunglasses and less than $1000 and there might be mass adoption.
I enjoy spending time by myself more than I enjoy spending time with other people. Social situations are draining and I avoid them when I can. If I make plans with someone and they have to cancel, it's usually a relief for me. If that doesn't make me an introvert I don't know what else to tell you.
The air pollution in California is mostly from wildfires in Canada right? Seems kind of unfair to California because there's not a lot they can do about that.
Ukraine should be getting support from more than just the US though, if you include their own military budget and EU funding what would the total number be?
Are you saying you need credit to live? Because that's not true. Lot's of people live that way, but it's not necessary.
