Does Ed ever miss? I suppose it must be possible, but I have yet to see it.

I’m definitely going to use this euphemism from now on.

It isn’t even close to making a profit. They are bleeding billions per year with no obvious path to breaking even, let alone profiting enough to justify their enormous valuation. It’s very much a bubble and I look forward to the day it pops.
