Dyf_Tfh , in Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds
@Dyf_Tfh@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

So according to the report, since 2019 54% of price increase are due to labor, 34% to profit and 12% to non-labor.

Those 12% that started the current inflation loop are relatively small overall.

Another so called "economics think-tank" that thinks [consumer price]-[raw material cost]=[profit]. They are just ingnoring all of the other variables in equation. P&G (their biggest example) laid off a huge percentage of their workforce during the pandemic and increased the price of the products. Now they are nearly back at 100% of their workforce but everyone is being paid more. It ends up being a wash for consumers at that point. That's not even including cost of energy, cost of machine maintenance, and all of the other little things that have increased over the last few years. Nonsense.

It should be a legal requirement for every document that is public record to be available via a standardized API, none of this shit with paying tens of thousands of dollars or only being able to look at it in person

Yes, but the only reason sealed documents are not getting leaked left and right is them not being part of API. No private company would trust courts to deal with trade secret disputes otherwise because we all know their security is nonexistent.

They would also need a complete structural overhaul to implement something like that, since most states use standalone systems, while the federal system uses PACER.

chicken ,

Maybe it could be a separate system and they just have to duplicate stuff into it when it becomes public

About time!!!

Diplomjodler , in Why is UK being hit by medicine supply shortages?

Where there are certainly country specific reasons, the overall train is that production had been outsourced to the lowest bidder, which is India in most cases. This means less resilient supply chains and less reliable supply.

I read that as “MF says” and thought the BBC had some major beef.

Way to go India!!!

csolisr , in USA | In Wyoming, Bill Gates moves ahead with nuclear project aimed at revolutionizing power generation
@csolisr@hub.azkware.net avatar

@BrikoX While I appreciate the fact that sodium cooling requires less space to build a plant than the former water-based technologies, and that it requires less human intervention to avoid an exclusion-zone-degree accident, I'm not entirely sure how will the Natrium technology reduce nuclear waste to an acceptable level, both of quantity and of safe storage conditions.
