kirkbackus··on Get on the CSS Grid
It may seem like that, but the major difference is the layout is left to the CSS. When combined with css media queries, the grid can provide a complete restructuring of the layout completely independent of the markup which would not would have been possible with tables.

This is pretty unnecessary. If you need all these things, just use XML.
kirkbackus··on Why are US corporate profits so high? Because wages are so low
The second graph seems to truncate the first 15 years. I wonder if the data exists, or if it didn't actually support the author's point. Also, I think the author oversimplifies this issue.

I just don't see the connection where the direct cause of large corporate profits is low wages. Are the wages adjusted for inflation?

kirkbackus··on Go by Example
