Britain is not a rich country, a continuing series:

A friend is working with a member of their US team several levels of seniority lower than them. The US salary is higher.

Anyway, for more depressing data: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07...
Britain is a poor country determined to get even poorer
We have fallen behind countries we once consider peers; the gap between Britain and America is wider than the gap between the UK and Romania

It is extremely frustrating that I can't port my social graph from one network to another. I want to be able to talk to or read the same people whether anonymous, pseudonymous or known to me. The incentives for platforms are sadly hard aligned against this (capture the network, capture the user)

Working in media is like a hyperactive version of (bluesky? Twitter? Notes? w/ever). You're absolutely submerged in day-to-day news. What's happening now, next hour, tomorrow, maybe at most next week. It's basically impossible to keep your eyes on the horizon and look at largescale trends.
