Superstar who is left

Bo Dallas, the real-life brother of Bray Wyatt and member of one of the most prestigious families in wrestling, was another wrestler whose release was confirmed by WWE in April Though he never reached the heights experienced by his brother, Dallas was one of the first three NXT Champions and held the title for days before coming up to the main roster.

Tucker, who is best remembered for being one-half of the tag team Heavy Machinery alongside the lovable Otis, was also let go by WWE in April The Daniel Bryan contract situation is a lot more complicated than any of the other WWE superstars and on-air talent on the list because neither WWE or the three-time WWE Champion have said anything since his contract reportedly expired in early May Bryan, who was in a losing effort in the Universal Championship triple threat match WrestleMania 37, hasn't been seen on WWE television since losing a one-on-one match against Roman Reigns in late April In a lengthy since-expired Instagram story via ComicBook.

Vanessa Borne was fired the same day as Jessamyn Duke in May , bringing an end to her five-year tenure with WWE, according to her personal Twitter account. Featured sporadically on NXT during her time with the company, Borne never appeared on Raw or SmackDown despite reportedly being called up to the main roster in January , per Fightful.

The night before his release, Wolfe was beaten down by his Imperium stablemates, kicking him out of the faction and off WWE programming in the process. Former ESPN anchor Adnan Virk had only been handling commentary duties on Monday Night Raw for six weeks before he was released in May , making his tenure the shortest on this list.

An industrial revolution occurred around , when long-percolating digital technologies began to transform our world. The geography of this third industrial revolution was initially strongly concentrated, creating new firms and industries in particular places that demanded highly-educated workers. These firms created their own markets and reaped rewards that were partly shared with their workers.

This set off the divergence we see today. Why were incomes converging in the to period? The early period of Figure 1 represents what happens to the geography of an economy when a once-revolutionary set of technologies matures.

In this particular case, we are talking about the ideas that powered the second industrial revolution, centered on electrification and machinery. With the maturation of these ideas came widespread diffusion of core ideas and also jobs, and therefore incomes. Does this mean our current phase of divergence will end? The technologies at the core of the third industrial revolution will surely mature and disperse. But while higher transport costs meant that, in the mid th century, jobs dispersed to the South and West of the country, in the 21 st many are more likely to move abroad as they become more standardized.

On top of that, newly concentrated market power among incumbents like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, as well as the ecosystem of venture-related finance, mean that the next revolution could stay captured in existing superstar cities.

So why is this framework useful? There is widespread concern about the geography of inequality, and a resurgent desire to address it. One thing we lack is a clear set of tools to do so. But before we can start talking about policy, we need to understand the phenomenon itself.

It will be impossible to successfully address inequality if we cannot understand its causes. If, as we believe, the main explanations today emphasizing the supply of affordable housing or particular worker preferences turn out to be intermediate outcomes rather than deep causes, then a crucial first step has been taken in the wrong direction. Our work aims to be a corrective, refocusing research and policy attention in the right direction. If we do not do so, then the post period looks like the end of convergence, but not the start of a divergence phase.

Yet, given the large disparities in the populations of Commuting Zones from a low of under 1, to a high of over 15,, , we believe it makes sense to take size differences into account.
