5% of 2T would be $100B, not $100M.

Funny that watching YouTube was not one of the things she did, whereas most people spend hours on YouTube/social media.

Case in point: I had to take my extended family visiting us to Manhattan for 2 days last week. Total 6 adults. The cost of taking the LIRR and Subway would have been upwards of $180 (LIRR $120 + Subway $60) per day! Driving was much more affordable (and convenient) even with the expensive parking charges of $50 for 12 hrs of parking in prime locations.

Public transportation needs to become more affordable first. I would have happily taken the train if it was comparable in cost.

But, I guess I am the minority case.

I read somewhere that libraries pay a decent amount to the publishers for every audiobook borrowed through Libby. So I always try to make sure the book interests me and will actually listen to it once borrowed.

Agreed. Have been using it for 3 years and user experience is better than TurboTax.

Thanks for sharing that link. It really is an eye opener.

Although, this number seems wrong. Is the entire fashion industry only valued at 2.4B?

> The fashion industry is key for economic development: it is valued at some USD 2.4 billion globally and directly employees 75 million people throughout its value chain.
