A new report from UBS puts the average wage of an employee in 73 cities into perspective by showing us how long one would have to work in each city to purchase a McDonald’s Big Mac. If you love Big Macs, Nairobi is not the place for you to be living; Chicago on the other hand is lovely!
Thanks Caleb!

My friend Jon has this link in his status about Circuit-Breaker levels for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Basically, if the Dow Jones Industrial average falls beyond a certain point-level, all trading can be halted so that traders can get a better grasp of the information that is coming in and out and thus make a better informed decision about their stocks.
I’m sure people who follow the stock exchange know this already, but I didn’t, and now I do, and now I feel more complete.
Oh, did you hear? The Dow Jones and S&P Index fell about 8 percent this morning. We are living in great times.
