Why write about passports?At their most basic, passports provide permission to travel. Burdened by a contentious history, passports today face myriad security and accessibility challenges, as well as increasing pressure to merge with digital forms of identity. Given the relative youth of today’s passport standard (~100 years old), it’s worth our time to examine how passports will change because of the access & mobility they afford us. One’s passport can determine extreme privilege or extreme ...

Instead, enabled primarily by remote work, many people have a choice about where they live, so cities have to actively attract residents. Then, they dive into how America’s retail landscape was built around the car before discussing what life is like on an e-bike. Cabin is also looking to provide more options f...
