My building has a lot of extra package cars and a bunch of starving PT air drivers. I think we will be fine.

that business model has been dead since 2015

There is a business model?
you literally described one
maybe where you are, not all areas are in the middle of nowhere, the building i was in barely skipped a beat
I'm not exactly in the middle of nowhere
I heard you were in the middle of somewhere. The other side of the divide but this side of the Atlantic. Did I get close to your location???
I'm in Egypt
After a certain point you walk like Forrest Gump
You’re very cosmopolitan.
I'm getting indoor plumbing next year
