International minimal wage

Trump acts like a typical communist because he imposes workers' rights requirements in a treaty with the government of Mexico:

...a new rule mandating that 40% of an auto qualifying for tariff-free trade in the region has to be produced by workers earning $16 an hour. Mandating wage rates ignores the relationship between productivity and output and sets a bad precedent for future trade deals. Mr. Trump is using the mandate to make Mexico less competitive for car production.

Last night I had a dream about functors. It felt like a scene from Tarantino's "Once upon a time in Hollywood." Brad Pitt, channeling a covariant functor, told Leonardo diCaprio that hindsight is perfect 20/20, implying that his partner was playing a contravariant functor.

Speaking of the movie itself, I thought the flamethrower was a wonderful nod to the Stanislavsky system.
