"By contrast, worker pay has remained relatively unchanged since 1978, rising by a mere 18.1 percent over the past 43 years"
After reading some on the EU mandate to provide a USB-C charging port, I wonder how many tech companies are only going to use it for charging and still provide other ports.
I also think that in light of USB-C issues, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Compatibility_issues , there needs to be additional wording to enforce compatibility. A new version of the standard, or a different standard. A lack of compatibility enforcement allows vendors to basically defeat the intent of the EU ruling, and leaves consumers at risk.

House Democratic Leadership Designed Stock Trade Ban to Fail, Negotiators Say
https://theintercept.com/2022/09/30/house-stocks-trade-ban-fail/
This poorly titled article is referring to the House bill "To amend the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to restrict trading and ownership of covered investments by senior government officials, and for other purposes."
The leadership of the Democratic Party is neoliberal, so they will not go against anything that benefits #capitalism.

The lengths that the GOP will go to act against the will of the people always makes me wonder how they continue to get elected. I know the answer always boils down to the Christian God, lies about gun rights, and unthinking nationalism, but is the USA really that dumb? The polls say we're not as a majority, but that's mostly due to concentration in urban areas due to #capitalism.

After seeing the changes Mayor Pete made to South Bend, I can envision this scenario playing out there.
Over half of all bitcoin trades are fake, according to Forbes analysis...which, granted, is better than the 95% reported previously.
The amount of trading volume in bitcoin is unknown, with estimates varying by up to an order of magnitude. In short, no one knows what's true in regards to bitcoin, or any other crypto-token, except that it's clear that a lot of fakery is going on.
If you're into crypto and you don't know who the sucker is, you're it.
Great film. Amazing how established this looks for a ten year old project.

Just FYI a gay dude born in a Japanese internment camp went on to participate in just about every major social movement from the 1960s to 1990s and co-wrote a book with Buckminster Fuller and babysat MLK Jr's kids and generally lived a life of fun and crime and yet no one has made a single movie about the guy:
