I don't remember anyone talking about "new economics", I remember people speculating inflation was due to supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic, and that would be short lived. I still disagree with that theory, clearly

Why is this being downvoted? I think it’s a good point. It seems like ARMs success is due in part to minimal fragmentation, which is due in turn to ARM’s licensing strategy.

I think pay transparency requirements should be limited to below some compensation threshold. I can't put a number on it myself (maybe somewhere $100k-500k), but after some point, it becomes impossible to compare the compensation of on
