What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

We are sad to hear that the distinguished photographer Martin Parr has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

“The study’s most popular finding, which made global headlines last year, was that climate change would cost $38 trillion (around €32.54 trillion) a year by 2049. This has been reduced to $32 trillion (around €27.4 trillion).”

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".
