E-scooter going belly up in the US. Bird (also recently bought spin) got listed at 2 billion 2 years ago. Now going towards 0.
Besides the fact that these are dumped randomly all over the sidewalk, there are too many vandals in america that just likes to find ways to destroy things for "fun". There are also "recyclers" that probably steal them as well to get a few bucks out of it.
The last I checked, they seem pretty expensive to ride. One would better off just buying their own if they needed one to get to work or run errands in a city.

With the benefit of hindsight, there are only 2 mistakes Russia made.
- Trusting EU countries to be neutral/non-suicidal. All that money froze in Euros could have been in Yuan.
- Failing to mobilize enough troops. They lost large amount of territory due to low manpower from military contracts expiring 6 month after SMO.
Austria-Hungary plundered the ethnicity nearby under HRE. Scandinavia became well off on the fact everyone else destroyed themselves in WWI and WWII. But the moment everyone else is not destroyed, they regressed back to mediocre state with exception of Norway (oil).
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
The Russians during wars are like what if we took a metaphorical SUPERRRRRR not-morning/anti-morning person, got him FUCKED UP DRUNK and shit faced the night before, and then rudely awakened him with an entire chicken farm's worth of LOUD roosters in the morning and then denied him his morning coffee and now we suddenly send them off to do a very hard job early in this morning for this guy who is clearly a night owl.
You cannot expect the world's best performance at first...but give him some time (and your stimulant of choice....for example the 'stimulating' effect of being literally robbed and then enduring all those clearly racist degrading insults from the likes of American redditors and other Western basement-dwellers who probably have HIGHLY illegal and gross stuff on their hard drives) and this anti-morning night owl whom you completely trolled into a tough morning job will suddenly prove that he really was the right guy for the job after all! You just have to know how to be a little patient is all.
Also, it must be known that the USA is scared of this nation to the point where they absolutely refused to send their own soldiers for fight the Russians and instead went to the trouble to getting the Ukrainians to fight this fight instead whilst making sure not to send their best weapons due to being limited in stock and being again afraid of losing them to the Russians and now that the counter offensive has failed so badly, they are trying to run away like chickens again.
I reckon the USA thinks they can reset the situation with Russia like the fight never happened but really one of these days, the Russians will fight the USA on the battlefield and given how overweight and badly disciplined and entitled they are, I expect the Russians to take sadistic pleasure killing the hell out of these morons and demonstrate to Lindsay Graham that it is absolutely not the best money spent to weaken the Russians when all it did what paint a red bullseye in the USA and ensure that sooner or later for Russia that peace can only happen when the USA loses everything in the most painful way imaginable
I find it stupid that the neocons refuse to consider the consequences of there actions and ultimately refuse to acknowledge the very real danger of two super powers knowing and planning to eventually get rid of these parasites from the world. They seriously think that Russia has forgotten who caused the Maidan coup and that they can slip away into the shadows again. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes when the USA finally goes into hyperinflation one of these days because I seriously bet you that they eventually will be hunted down and brought to justice one of these days

how many people speak German in Africa compare to French?. you are taking minor thing and exaggerate it.
German were talented enough that they become dominate people in US and still keep German GDP comparable to UK. US was already getting bigger than UK despite less population when you look at size of empire.
All those Spanish/French/British who had real empires were much weaker scientifically than Central and East Europeans. even that French Marie Curie with two nobel prizes was actually Polish.
Russia reputation depends on how much it can prolong the conflict not quickly gain land. you can see my earliest postings in Ukraine conflict thread where i put in one line Russia interests in prolong conflict. It was based on some readings. that prolong conflict will be able to find solution to Europe not just Ukraine. ultimately Russia will have to build world largest Muslim force not only for external management of Ukraine but seemless integration with Mideast. Putin keep reminding those in Moscow to know these things.
they already reached to that stage where interms of long range strike power Russia exceed Nato.
