Frankly the statistics do not feel right - I remember jobs that were easily found at $15 per hour in 2012 and cost of everything was insanely low. One bedroom / 750, McDonald burger, $1, McDonald soda $1, a pack of beer $7. Now eveything is easily double or triple and the basic jobs are still at $15.

Absolutely. Rackteering party and bureaucracy always finds themselves returning in all society until killed or thrown over.

Does median represent the normal anymore?

I would think greed is a luxury and always has been, more than a simple adobe and living alone.

ironically i posted the exact same quote before seeing your post. I've found that whatever work that can be counted as meaningful often also signifies a certain amount of agency that does not exist in a larger bureaucratic system.

Makes me think of this timeless and excellent quote by Oscar Wilde:

“The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.”

That's interesting! I have been using MX for years now (on my third one in 10 years I believe) and there's nothing else that I like. Could you explain what was the issue with the ergonomics? To me it's much better with its gesture features and such. Did you mean it as in wrist pain or?

Because the horror of dahl’s adult stories are as pervasive even if knowing the ending. I reread many times and still get the same sense of impending doom barbarically twisting fates in the mind - what if it was true?

I recommend protoarc’s keyboards. They are the flattest and lightest and yet still ergonomic I’ve ever had and chargeable by USBC. It’s so easy to bring it with me even with a laptop in the backpack.

All I an say in this section is I was most intrigued when I was travelling across Europe on a long and complicated business journey. Turkish airlines (if I recall right, maroon uniforms) had a sign language video for both Turkish sign language and international sign language. I felt so elated and welcome at that moment. I felt at home. Somebody cared for people like me. I have not come across anybody else who has done the same job.

So what I have to say, yes, the measure of the effort what pretty much sums to entertainment and pseudo-psychology, speaks to the consumer masses who are worried when they jump on a plane filled with other 150~ish strangers.

I find that there’s always an option in accessibility settings to reduce the overall fanciness or anything that I find jarring on iOS. Here I believe settings > accessibility > reduce motion will apply.

Nevertheless it’s nowhere near the powerful experience that was palm OS when it was selling palm pre and the like
