Masih Layakkah Go-Jek Menggadang-gadang Ekonomi Kerakyatan ketika Investasi Asing ada dibalik Startup Mereka?

First of all, I want to stress to the fact that this isn't a hate speech at all. Saya merupakan salah satu pengguna jasa Go-Jek walaupun termasuk konsumen baru; hanya untuk 1-2 bulan terakhir ini. Menurut saya kemunculan Go-Jek amatlah membantu baik itu dari kacamata customers maupun drivers nya, terlepas dari kontroversi antara Go-Jek dan ojek konvensional, berbagai keluhan aplikasi Go-Jek terutama di awal-awal peluncuran aplikasi Go-Jek, dan masih banyak kasus lagi.

Sharing economy is also known as collaborative consumption which can be categorized into three types of systems as stated by Rachel Bostman, a collaborative economy expert.  First, Product Service Systems.  Share or rent goods which are priva

Detox Programs: Get Rid of Your Toxins or Your Money?

You know that feeling when you found out an eye opening fact about commonly accepted thing for a very long time such as ‘right-brained and left-brained individual is just a myth’? Crazy, huh? I used to struggle over the fact that I cannot categorize myself as a right or left brained individual. Part of me wants to be an artsy musical person meanwhile I also fancy languages but I hate math etc etc.  For those people who in disbelief about that brain myth perhaps I will catch up writing a post about that. However, this current post will elaborate about detox life. Yes, it’s a myth, too. To avoid any vague argument I will stressed to the point that by detox, what I mean is the cleansing juice diet program that only limiting food consumption only into raw fruits and veggies, or fancy supplements, or certain treatments, and so on. You know, the diet that has been promoted by many celebrities, lifestyle advertising, commercial diet products and programs, and so on. To make it clear
