@arstechnica That’s nice, but if someone does not confirm that the accompanying picture is of an ‘X’ constructed from LEGO photoshopped onto the top of a building for some reason, it’s seriously going to ruin my whole day.

@arstechnica kind of disappointing not to see the rumored aspect ratio change on the fold 6. The phone is still too tall and not wide enough when closed

Conservatives say raising the minimum wage would drive up inflation.

But the federal minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2009.

Average CEO pay has gone up about 60% since 2009.

Whose pay is contributing to inflation?

@AndiPopp@chaos.social avatar

@rbreich Nobody's. It's the company profits. The profits drive inflation, last seen with energy crisis at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.
