I teach product design organizations to think like brands and vice versa. Tweeting about design systems, media, politics, and hockey. Misanthrope.

24 years ago today, Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti was imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces. He rose in the late 1980s as one of the prominent leaders in the fight for Palestinian liberation and was sentenced by Israel to five life sentences plus 40 years.

@AdamPugh You just made up an arbitrary number. Why not £7.28m or £800k? Just totally made up nonsense.

Just to make it clear: There will never be a time when it’s morally justifiable to pay the CEO of Tesco £10million. Ever. If you can’t grasp that you’re actually just an incredibly shitty person.

@cumidifier @_sn_n Leftists governed the country for the preceding 75 years. If a credit swap was necessary to maintain stability during the transition that’s on them, not Milei.

Rasmus Ristolainen has been in the NHL for 13 seasons. He’s played 820 games. He’s been in endless trade rumors for as long as you can remember. And now, at age 31, he’s finally going to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in his career. #LetsGoFlyers

The economy is entirely man made. Man designed the institutions, the markets, laws, regulations, and even the money and units of measure upon which all trade depends. It’s odd you think “the economy” is natural when your job as political journo is to understand these things.
Tom Harwood@tomhfh

Is this like a religious point? That there is some great plan out there, a supreme being dictating the actions of billions of people all at once? That's the only way in which I could possibly understand someone thinking that "the economy was designed".

@AngryNoodleHead @EHPlimsoll1 I looked into this chart a little further and apparently the financial value of employer sponsored insurance and pension matching (~$5-7k) isn’t included for the US but government health insurance and pensions are included for Canada and Europe. So the gap is even wider.

@BrooklynBrett @EHPlimsoll1 I see. Same principle applies since the table you reference has the incomes of all the nations a lot higher. (Compare Germany in both charts)

@AngryNoodleHead @EHPlimsoll1 I understand that but the red and green chart is made up. It’s not the real data, which is why there’s no source provided. The Wikipedia link I shared has real data and source information.

@zeenohh @TerribleMaps The pro train crowd just beats this dead horse over and over again. It’s rather conspiratorial at this point. Do you think the masses have been fooled by insidious car company brainwashing or do you think smart people have looked into it and concluded it’s not worth it?

@EHPlimsoll1 This chart shows post tax income. The healthcare is paid for by taxes.

Just to add some nuance to the propaganda here. If you look at the median rather than the mean, which is what actually reflects how most people live, the picture changes quite a bit. Once you also account for unavoidable out of pocket costs like healthcare and education, life in the US looks much more average, and often falls behind Northern European countries for the typical person. The US model clearly creates immense wealth at the very top, but for the vast majority of people, median living standards are what really matter. And by that measure, the story is far less impressive than it is often made out to be.

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.

@basiletrouba @CorbynSnap Yeah, and? We give them money so they can buy weapons from us to defend themselves from suicidal Muslim death cults that want to wipe their country off the map. In exchange they share technology and intelligence with us. Not a bad deal.

Elissa Slotkin hit back after Hasan Piker criticized her for going on Bill Maher's show but not his livestream. "He calls me stupid like every other week," she told our @adamwren. "What normal human being would choose to go on a show when someone calls you stupid every 10 days."
