You don't seem to get it.

People are willing to work low paying jobs because there will always be someone willing to work for less. Low skill jobs have a lower floor. Look at Uber drivers. Many barely make profit after you include wear and tear on their vehicle along with fuel costs. In fact, Uber eats to great then as independent contractors so they aren't even employees and dont have the same protection.

You seen to simply not understand the world. Do you really think it would be easier to pass a law limiting CEO pay by the lowest wages employee than a minimum wage increase?

You are being optimistic about how companies would get around such a law. Low waged workers will likely become contractors or the law will become average pay because no one would accept restricting one person's compensation based on someone else's compensation. It doesn't necessarily increase pay for low wage workers like you think.

It's better to actually directly help those that need to have their wage increased.

Plus what happens if you have part time employees? They get paid a lower compensation due to no health care and less vacation. Now you can't have that either which means seasonal help also becomes tough to hire depending on how the your proposed law determines "minimum compensation".

This needs some sources or definitions, people in income groups produce household / travel CO2 emissions. Industry makes up 60/70% of global emissions so how is that represented in the graph? For example world shipping emissions make up 3% so which income group would that fall into as it’s likely pensions own most of them which is owned by a lot of different people

But that was after Russia broke its commitments and annexed part of a country it promised never to attack. Ukraine could not defend itself and negotiations provided it with a needed breather. The Minsk accords were already in contradiction of the the UN Charter and the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

You can blow smoke all you like, but you cannot get around the fact that Russia had no right to the Donbas, had no right Crimea, all of it was illegal, done in bad faith in contravention of the UN Charter.

From our newsletter:

Love it or hate it, Shakira has quickly "facturado" her very public divorce, earning an estimated $99K - $795K since her collab with Bizarrap was released.

The launch has become a global sensation, reaching 100M views on YouTube within the first three days of its release. This makes it the fastest-ever song in Spanish to break 100M views on YouTube. Their achievement is even more mind-blowing because the only other artists to reach this milestone are K-Pop, Indian, and Japanese. You read that correctly; Shakira's Spanish song achieved more views in 3 days than any song by Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, or Justin Bieber has ever been able to.

For the memesphere and pop culture, this is a lesson in meme generation. And to prove it, Clara-mente (clearly), we're jumping on the bandwagon with our chart.

One line after the other of the song co-authored by Shakira is really thought out to become an Instagram post. The winning quote has been "Las mujeres ya no lloran, las mujeres facturan," which roughly translates to "Women no longer cry, they send their invoice."

Bizarrap is undoubtedly an artist worth highlighting and deserves a Latinometrics chart of his own at some point. The sunglass-sporting Argentinian music producer has independently collaborated with artists of all kinds and garnered an incredible 6B+ YouTube views since joining the platform in 2017.

Biza's career started by filming local rap battles in his small hometown of Ramos Mejia. Nowadays, the 24-year-old music prodigy can catapult emerging artists' careers with a single collaboration. Latin music stars like Nicky Jam, Residente, Trueno (and now Shakira) eagerly fly to his home to be a part of his impressively viral track record.

This most recent collaboration is on track to become the biggest yet, and the effects go beyond the music scene. For marketers, the way Casio reacted can serve as a case study. The rarely mentioned brand has garnered more than 5.7M in earned media on Instagram in the last few days following Shakira's line that her ex "traded a Rolex for a Casio," or Shakira for his lover. A parody account also showed a picture of a young Shakira wearing a Casio.

The brand took advantage of the diss by acting fast, enlisting Casio owners to call themselves #teamcasio. According to Google Trends, searches for the brand have grown 7x in some countries since the song was released, and sales will surely follow.

Shakira's song alludes to the fact that women no longer need to suffer in private when faced with betrayal, injustice, or abuse, whether in the workplace or the love space. Instead, they can actually own their story and seek justice in whatever way it may come.

From our newsletter:

The cost of mobile data across the world has been steadily dropping. According to cable.co.uk statistics, almost all countries have experienced a significant price drop.

Even the most expensive country for mobile online browsing in LatAm, Cuba, saw a drop from $13.33 per GB in 2020 to $3.10 in 2022. In fact, according to the Alliance for Affordable Internet, from 2015 to 2020, the world's average price of mobile data as a percentage of income dropped by more than half.

The drops are partly due to increases in competition and the introduction of new technologies like 5G. Spectrum auctions have played a part in price reductions. Spectrum auctions are like big sales, where telecom companies bid and pay the government for the right to use parts of the airwaves to improve their services and coverage. This gamification for providing mobile services increases competition and further drives cost down.

Institutions are also responsible for developing the infrastructure to reach telecom accessibility and affordability. Funttel in Brazil, for example, has been successful in expanding mobile coverage in rural areas and increasing access to mobile services for low-income and disadvantaged populations since its implementation in 2000.
