I think most people absolutely suck at being original or appealing in texting. Going through tinder or any dating app makes you see the worst of humanity. Scams, lot of them. Catfishers.

> The tax will levy an extra 0.1% to 0.6% on gross receipts made in San Francisco for companies whose highest paid executive makes 100 times or more its median worker’s salary. The amount levied will increase in 0.1% brackets proportionally to the pay ratio. A company whose highest paid employee earns 200 times more than its median San Francisco worker will get a extra 0.2% charge on its gross receipts. For companies whose CEO makes 300 more, the charge jumps to 0.3% and son on. The tax caps at 0.6%, and only companies with gross receipts over $1.17 million will be targeted.

Tech is expected to account for 17% of the tax revenues, according to an estimate by the city’s chief economist, while retail and financial firms are expected to account for 23% of the revenues each.
> The CEO tax is expected to generate between $60 million to $140 million per year.

But I will agree with fpip. India has so many fundamental problems that will require serious government and public change.
My state will not have enough drinking water for 30%+ of its population by 2030. Prices of food will go up as ground water becomes non existent. How do you think that will impact people?

People trust few domain extensions more than others even though many of them are similarly priced and available. It's all about who else is using the same extension. .com? Used by most companies. .news ? no one? not trust worthy then.
It's somewhat fascinating to me that the bigger the company, the more trust people put in their verification of actors employed on the platform. Intuitively, I would think the more actors in a company - the less trustworthy or verified the actors would be.

Why not post a hash of a timestamped transaction on the blockchain? Wouldn't that be better for establishing credibility instead of this?
I think this is general behavior on twitter. Users try to come up with dirt or something to be angry about.
