“Revenue per worker is rising for the Mag 7 but is flat for the S&P 493. Profit margins are rising for the Mag 7 but flat for the S&P 493. With no impact on the bottom line, mainstream corporate America is pulling back and starting to view token spending as a cost center that weighs on margins.”

Opened a hefty—oh irony—PR to prune unused icons in the icons gem (that powers Rails- and recently Hanami, Icons 💡). Big one, so I let it simmer and use in my own apps first (as always). https://github.com/Rails-Designer/icons/pull/23
