I have multiple Bluetooth headphones that I use and wear often, and I generally prefer them. But a phone with no headphone jack is a non-starter.
Wired headphones are bedrock.They don't need to be charged. They work easily across devices. I don't have to worry about dropping them, or fumbling with menus to connect. They just work, always, immediately. Not having headphones that work when you need them is a huge problem.
Dab pen and spice jars.
That's basically enough to start a religion in medieval times. Spices to finance a nice temple, and dabs to create a religious experience forc prophets who testify to the power of the faith.
Yes. This is the silent problem of enormous wealth inequality in the US. As the middle class disappears, fewer people are able to pay small fees to contribute to things like local news, community organizations, and online services.
Kitty History time!
President feigns ignorance of basic domestic economics to appear sympathetic going into an election cycle

Because a carbon tax incremented over a period of years would achieve the desired outcome with much less administrative burden and economic impact.
We should use fossil fuels sometimes - when it's worth paying the real cost!
Wildest? Really?
Also good!
Interesting! Thanks for elaborating.
I agree completely!
How is that better than a database? Is someone concerned that Walmart will fabricate supply chain tracking?
This is good
Hot take: it was a valiant effort by people with tremendous power and influence to do the right thing with the wrong tools. Blackrock et al. tested the hypothesis that companies can generate greater returns by doing good. In doing so they risked their reputation and relationships with their investors.
We all learned together that their hypothesis is wrong. One cannot add a constraint (ESG etc) without compromising returns, and the big money piles operate with mandates to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
It can, and will, get worse.
A carbon tax is a specific, simple, policy that voters could form a broad coalition around to implement.
Winchester?
Start your resolution on December 1, and call the first month of progress a Christmas/Holiday present to yourself.
Lol what? A percentage of their market cap is probably what you mean. A percentage of average net income over the last N (5?) years would be more realistic and still scaled in a way that impacts returns to investors.
Can you name another technology that has such a high hype to delivered value ratio?
Really got'em!
