Something used by 10s of millions worldwide all of whom collectively create its value, demolished in a year because one toxic shithead has a lot of money; pretty perfect summation of billionaireism.

And if there were any, you know, premium features. "We'll stop slapping you in the face with this hot mop if you pay us" isn't a feature.

For Jobs Day, my A1 story for @nytimesbusiness: For 23 months now, the inflation rate has run higher than the growth rate of wages--which are also running *much* lower than the rate of corporate profits. so why must we solve inflation by weakening labor? nytimes.com/2023/04/07/busin…

Wages May Not Be Inflation’s Cause, but They’re the Focus of the Cure (Published 2023)

While fear of a “wage-price spiral” has eased, the Federal Reserve’s course presumes job losses and risks a recession. Some see less painful remedies.

A Republican state representative asked Rep. Justin Jones what he means by the chant “No Justice, No Peace.” His response is worth hearing in full:

As session creeps towards the expulsion votes, outside the doors the “insurrectionists”🙄continue to chant. This is the EXACT same scene as the previous protest that was called “maybe worse then January 6th” 🤔

In addition to pausing AI for 6 months, I propose a 6 month moratorium on UMAPs so we can figure out proper quantitative single-cell analysis. #scRNAseq

For the first time in history, Israel's main union, as well as leaders from the banks and the entire business sector, are about to declare a general strike demanding that the government stop the judicial coup. Employers have committed to paying full wages to workers.
