Repeat after me... Lime/Bird/Uber/Lyft/WeWork are not software businesses. They *could* be good (good = profitable in this case) businesses, but the unit economics are just totally different than software businesses, and it's not remotely clear that scale helps. https://t.co/1lAxUgUQ0f

You see them a lot in Buckhead. I think you saw more stacked up in piles than being ridden. They were also more popular last year than they are currently. https://t.co/yQeaZEPsxh

That scooter co Lime is exiting San Diego reminded me that I can't remember the last time I saw a scooter, which reminded me about how insects stopped hitting windshields & people didn't notice.

I enjoyed rolling around on Lime scooters during @uuaGA in Spokane last year. I also think they're probably more trouble to municipalities than they're worth. https://t.co/3mwa70qvy1
