This increasingly popular theory is based on a growing amount of peer-reviewed economic research, and appears to be the case even in places where there are seemingly many employers competing for labor.
I've had this feeling for a while, now:
...in a new book, The Wage Standard: What's Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It, economist Arindrajit Dube articulates that monopsony power is much more pervasive in the economy than previously imagined
Who owns this?
What workers need isn’t a wealth fund indexed to tech industry profits.
They need universal healthcare, access to fresh food, and housing that isn’t tied to the ebbs and flows of the stock market.
And I'll include something to focus their attention.
We have a wide world to heal and reconnect.
Nothing to see here (hint, hint, hint)

Suggests that mammals rely on sexual rather than asexual reproduction to eliminate genetic anomalies caused by clonal reproduction.
European leaders have been reminded the hard way that the erosion of international law – with this latest manifestation in the Middle East – is bad news for the world, Europe included.
So far, the war in the Middle East has been a windfall for Moscow and devastating for Kyiv, while threatening another economic crisis in Europe, the third in only five years, after Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.
Crows vs Hawks near our place is brutal.
Crow getting in some real hits.
Hawk isn't phased.

I live for the days that all the fear-mongers feel fear.

I appreciate this a lot.
I'm a scientist who has substantially recovered from mental health struggles, and I'm open to discussing with the hopes of benefiting others during these outlier times.
And same for journalists: is it possible to dedicate yourself to telling the truth about the world and not vocally oppose an administration that constantly undermines the truth?
I also have decided, no.
What fun it was to be a fresh raver, simply following the sounds to the event. There was a "pre party," the night before, and turns out it was in this part of Big Bear that's hidden from the rest of the town and area. Something special. Like DJ Dan's tunes and mixes. #djdan

Figher jets over Los Angeles, at this moment. Doing some kind of maneuvers. Scrambled or scheduled, we may never know.
This is precisely the kind of crisis that governments try to contain quickly because the economic damage compounds in real time, long before any military or diplomatic resolution can be reached.
The International Energy Agency has already described the present disruption from the war on Iran as the largest oil supply shock on record, with approximately 8 million barrels per day expected to be lost this month alone.
The Strait of Hormuz is not simply another site of military escalation; it is one of the world’s most consequential economic choke points, through which roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas normally passes.
More like Big Private Equity is closing hospitals.
And those guys at PE still can't manage their money, either.

The 2020s in the US will be remembered for the multiple and numerous aircraft tragedies.
May those lives be remembered - and serve as inspiration for the FAA to do better.
I'm writing from my role more than simply venting opinions, going forward. I'm an actual Lecturer in chemistry and biochem, and I want to do more professing re effective strategies for early career scientists, communicators, even systems-oriented entrepreneurs. I am figuring some things out, tho.
...which she called “tantamount to setting money on fire – except worse than that, because not only will they be wasteful of government funds, they’ll also be disastrous for public health”. #autism
Autistic people like Zoe Gross, director of advocacy at Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), are worried the federal committee will fund research on, for example, the long-debunked idea that vaccines cause autism, ...
