There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth at the very top.

It is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Wealth creates power; power creates more wealth. It's a vicious cycle.

Yet more terrible academic news. It would seem that, if you share your drafts with people rather than hiding your work in the cupboards, people can give you feedback to improve the work and result in stronger contributions overall.

Devastating.

Don’t let the name fool you, “right-to-work” laws are designed to diminish workers’ collective bargaining power by making it harder to form unions.

Michigan is ready to make history by becoming the first state in 60 years to repeal the anti-worker law. epi.org/blog/why-right-to-work

@alexwild this will come to Texas and Oklahoma next

Here's the crazy situation. Somebody making $10 million in a year is contributing the EXACT SAME AMOUNT into Social Security as somebody making $160,000. Let's raise the cap and expand Social Security benefits, not cut them.

Job: Theoretical eco-evo postdoc in Mainz (Germany) 

I realize I posted this one back then on a site that wasn't owned by Musk yet; never here so far. Also, the deadline is conveniently a week away (4th Dec to be precise) so a reminder is in place anyway!

My lab is moving to the University of #Mainz. If you're into #LifeHistory #theory/#modelling and would like to interact with whoever visits the future "theory hub" of the #Kokkonuts, read this ad!
