Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 3w agoGuess how much the minimum wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
I’m very “technically adept” on software, hardware, AI, etc, so I thought I’d take a peak at an “EASY” tutorial on qubit rotation to better understand quantum computing. All i have to say is… HAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 has issued an official statement that America is changing…”their trading relationships, their foreign policies… [and] their hydronyms.” 😂
PM Carney said that, among other things, the US wanted to limit Canada’s ability to enter into trade deals with other nations. Absurd chest pounding 🦍 that portends a rocky road ahead. 🇨🇦

Good Morning. Starting my day on my back porch with a coffee, looking at my garden. Limiting my world news intake this summer because beauty > 💩
