The ramifications of digital dumping are being investigated as evidence emerges that more advantaged countries are dumping (exporting) tons of digital waste (e-waste) into less advantaged countries such as Africa, Asia, India and others, especially since circuit boards, smart phones and computer screens contain copper, gold, zinc, beryllium, and tantalum, lead based coatings and lithium batteries; the health effects of digital dumping are a major concern as is the pollution impact on the environment.

Double Digit Inflation

Inflation that reaches over two digits in percentage. Just like 1974-1975 and 1979-1981 era.

I wonder if 2023 will feature double digit inflation, all over again.

Three digit on-time

Getting in to work any time before 10:00 AM, less than an hour lart if you officially start work at 9. This gets the name from the number of digits in the time.

I don't know why my manager gave me that look when I came in. I was three digit on-time this morning!
