Interesting graph, via Mike Hoerger of pmc19.com: there are 3 million additional US workers with disability since 2020. Source: fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01074…

Graph of workers over 16 in the USA with disability. Pretty stable around 6 million until early 2021, when it dramatically goes up, hitting 9 million people in 2026.

In December 2007, I saw the advertisement in the attached image in an airport; the company was dead soon after. Today, I discovered yet another company that will generate apps for you with AI. It is, to be fair, much better than average, it was built as a […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]
