@paulg The mix of companies in the 500 was not consistent over the decades. Could perhaps reflect the change in composition from manufacturing to tech companies, the latter known to make greater revenue per employee.

@rabois Best strategy for Reddit would be to acquire Meta after the returns. Just sayin..

A strange day when the first search topic for millions of twitter users is how to delete their account. Good luck @elonmusk , may the kitchen sink somehow help you.

Sharing with you and yours a tiny section of otherwise endless backroads. Take care and take care of each other — whatever holiday(s) you celebrate this time of year.

@MusicEcon101 Awesome

@apglo Happy Christmas to Gus and family!

During times of political strife people will go to great lengths to prevent their boat from being stolen. Wow.
