Finally found a nice scenic hiking area with a view near Carlsbad, Ca.

Met some students going for the same area and of course they turned out to be all European's 😅

Of course, since it's California, there are still cars everywhere and it's almost impossible to get anywhere without a car.

Electric cars and charging stations are on the rise, but not nearly as pervasive as they should be. Feels like 6%, if I had to guess.

That is not to say that you can't get around on bike. In fact, bike lanes are everywhere 👍.

It's just that most towns here are not made for walking.

One of the students, she's originally from Hamburg, left there at age 15 and went to South Africa, Capetown, France, UK, then Sweden and finally California.

Another one is here to study marketing.

What does one learn in marketing?

"Methods to get people to impulse buy"

Why, that sounds a bit amoral, can't you just find a unique value proposition and sell to a market that is not tended to by others?

"Of course, that's also a way to do it, but by far it doesn't work as well"

🤷

Either all humans need to smarten up a lot or all methods to exploit our psychological flaws for someone's gain need to be more tightly regulated!
