This seems like a silly solution to a silly problem. If you're tracking your employees' performance based on actual business metrics, who cares how many times their mouse jiggles in a given day?
And the third. I'm a UChicago alum and my premed friends were always complaining about having to compete against beneficiaries of Ivy League grade inflation.
It's amazing that this solution has not been considered more openly and widely until now. It's cheaper, more effective, and doesn't require draconian regulations or near-impossible expectations on human behavior.
It's also something that could be tested for a year. It's not irreversible. It would allow the undeveloped world a chance to achieve a piece of the global wealth pie.

Brilliant early work from Bourdain that (I believe) launched his career, which was tragically cut short. Just last month, I feasted on bun cha next to the table in Hanoi where Obama and Bourdain ate in 2015. He was a global ambassador who united the world through our universal love of food, and really had an amazing impact bringing attention to all cultures and traditions.
It's also important to learn from Bourdain's life that even if someone's life looks perfect from the outside, you never know what people are going through. Everyone deserves empathy. And please, if you are suffering, remember that you are not alone and there are people who can help.

Interesting that the exposition map[0] has the Eiffel Tower labeled as "Tour de 300 Métres." I wonder when it became known as the Eiffel Tower in common parlance?
The junk fee legislation seems like a great way to make companies waste millions of dollars in resources rebuilding their backend systems just to result in the exact same fees being rolled into the remaining SKUs or charged to more customers than necessary.
