We find that a 10% minimum wage hike translates into a 0.36% increase in the prices of grocery products. This magnitude is consistent with a full pass-through of cost increases into consumer prices.

Those "richest people" lists are based on publicly known wealth, which is almost exclusively public stocks. There is a lot of dark money out there.

For more context, this is in part the result of a 2021 settlement with the state of Washington over them doing the opposite: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/27/1040968238/greyhound-warrantless-searches-lawsuit-settlement

• Therefore: Some fruits are planets

Whereas a correctly structured syllogism might be:

• All coconuts are round
• Some fruits are coconuts
• Therefore: Some fruits are round

For perishable items, you'd get a bathtub curve. For humans in particular one more precise estimate is the Gompertz–Makeham law of mortality.

My biggest frustration with OneDrive is in combination with Office (on my work PC). You browse to a local folder and save, but instead of saving it locally and syncing to the cloud, it saves to the cloud and downloads, and it is slow.
