You're assuming that it would depress wages, which is not necessarily true. A more likely scenario is that such a thing can slightly depress wages in low-skill, low in-demand jobs but is more likely to slightly increase wages in high-skill, high in-demand jobs. Companies that are growing and want to be the best and are flush with cash will happily pay premium wages to premium employees based on salary data. Other companies won't. So that's the big difference between the two companies. The "collusion" doesn't necessarily cause lower wages, that's just a big assumption that some people are making. Whereas RealPage was specifically touting and actively encouraging increasing rents.

#522Earlier quoted context omitted.
Reminder that until recently, most cannabis patients relied on smugglers to treat their illnesses.
reminder that cannabis has been distributed quite successfully and broadly for hundreds if not thousands of years, all without blockchain. blockchain is the solution to exactly nothing. zero things are better with blockchain. zero. in the case of hiding cannabis use, the problem is that it is illegal despite having valid medicinal uses.
It wasn’t widely distributed over the internet until Bitcoin. Bitcoin solved the problem of irreversible payments over a communications channel without an intermediary.
