Some real data, not fake numbers from a right-wing shill:

Ireland’s GDP per capita used to be just over half of the UK’s. Now it’s more than twice as high.

(Yes, GDP isn’t the whole story—but this stark contrast couldn’t have happened without Brexit.)

Gotta love how Hermès didn’t even try to make their condo-priced bags less dull.

American factories shut down when Black workers unionized and demanded equal treatment.

Makes you wonder if those high-paying factory jobs only existed because they depended on exploiting minorities.

Some heart-warming data: Decades of civil rights reforms significantly reduced the poverty rate of Black Americans.

Economists know it, but politicians rarely say it—globalization massively reduced global inequality.

Bf's company is producing a cartoon about the Aztecs, with all the dialogue in Spanish.

Bf: The Aztecs didn't speak Spanish. It was the Spanish colonizers who massacred them that did.

Neri Oxman (yes, the Wikipedia plagiarist from MIT Media Lab) had her students build a giant, useless silk pavilion to "explore relationships between digital and biological construction." oxman.com/projects/silk-pavilion-i

I chose the wrong career.

Blood diamond suppliers pressure jewelers to avoid lab diamonds, further shrinking the already limited competition in lab diamond jewelry.

Tiffany, Cartier, and Harry Winston overcharge by 330% for identical stones sold in Costco.

Luxury jewelry is one of the greatest scams of all time.

The data suggests this is the case, evidenced by the lack of proportional retail price reductions despite significant drops in lab-grown diamond wholesale prices, and jewelers reporting substantially higher profit margins on lab diamonds compared to mined ones.

The production cost of lab diamonds was around $300–$500 per carat, yet the competitive retail price of a 1-carat lab diamond is $1,890.
