My extremely outlandish theory has been/is that Uber will eventually acquire Cloud Kitchens for Eats, and Travis will come back to Uber and dominate, similar to Jobs with Next and Apple.

Very little has been written about Travis Kalanick’s (Uber’s ex CEO) new company: CloudKitchens. I considered joining his new company when he left Uber, but I wasn’t ready for another startup. It is however an interesting company, likely already valued at $15B-$30B 🧵

The sears catalog homes were a quintessential part of the early 1900s. Great to see the revival of this concept by the home depot, at a time when housing has been an extremely inflated asset, and making home owning a possibility for a lot of people again.
