https://x.com/restofworld/status/1863975739822899336 Business class public transit is super underrated imo. I remember taking business class subway in Shenzhen (it cost ~$3 instead of ~$1) and it was a great experience. If public transit bodies themselves offer it, it could be a large revenue opportunity.

I'm curious, we've seen every tech mogul elite from Jobs, Gates, Zuck and Elon go evil once they acquired enough influence. When does Vitalik become evil? It's usually when they desire outcome X (no pun) at all costs?

Setting aside past religious holy wars, how do you mitigate extreme price inelasticity from moral impugnance? They seem almost irrevocable, except in very rare instances.

In this context, do you mean the risk of people complaining about even the slightest increase in transit prices? I feel like that's exactly the thing that business class would route around; people don't mind charging rich people more.
