But you can visit the parks in the metaverse and can you really put a price on that.

I'm sure that this expenditure of capital for insufficient return means that Facebook will be unable to maintain parity of service with its competitors and will shortly be bought out by one of them.
...right? I mean, that's how The Market is supposed to address waste and inefficiency, right?

And Meta has gotten 1.1 billion in government subsidies.

there were 325 million visits to national parks last year.

outside Meta's offices, did more than 325 people use Meta Horizons last year?

Also, digging up the economic impact of those 325mln visits (not me, I am both lazy and stupid) would be illustrative.

we have people who do that. $55 billion in economic output in 2023. https://www.nps.gov/subjects/socialscience/vse.htm

If we eliminate the NPS we can create virtual reality national parks using AI that you can visit while you sit on the couch 🥴

All you need is a monthly subscription to Meta with the Parks add-on package 😭
