> Third, the employers chose laborers located “predominantly … in East Africa, Venezuela, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines” for this work because that’s where they can pay the …

To add: there are over 4 million nurses in the US.

But then you're talking to people who got caught. Of course PayPal makes it easier to handle money, but it also leaves a big paper trail.

But the rest of the (developed) world largely reacted in the same way to covid. You'd expect the impacts to be largely similar too.

Of course there are ditch diggers. You can't dig everything with a machine.

And the ditch digger requires the engineer to tell him where to dig. Digging a hole for no reason isn't very beneficial. Even if you take away this public infrastructure you would …

I see this being downvoted, but images are copyrighted. Using an image for illustrative purposes is not fair use, is it? Therefore the articles can't just share the same images.

This is how you get more nukes in the world. If NATO wouldn't help protect the Baltics, Poland etc then it's pretty clear their only option for long-term sovereignty would be bandi…

It makes no difference. Apple's past behavior has alienated enough people from their brand that they must provide such a large 'eco-system' themselves. For Windows, Linux and Andro…

I have a difficult time understanding this. I was a kid that was rebellious, but in a way that didn't get me in trouble. When I read stories like this I get an intense feeling of f…

The other strategies are clearly not working though. Birth rates have at best stayed steady or declined.

This is a good effect for the economy though. The customers are benefiting from it. Not so great for Uber though.

> Ofc this doesn't excuse their illegal practices. In some ways it does though. Some industries corner the market through regulation. Ie it's impossible for a new competitor to sta…

On that note we should ban everything recreational, inefficient, and made for comfort, except the things I like. People would benefit from living in smaller houses when it comes to…

You're not wrong there. The US is definitely on the list of countries that I don't want to visit. Albeit for other reasons.

That's true. I guess it would be difficult to avoid places where this obligation exists without knowing about it beforehand.

I genuinely rather avoid any establishment that expects tips than feel obligated to pay tips. It does mean that I will never go to a restaurant or similar establishment, but the fe…

Putin isn't the one pressing the button to shoot a missile that hits a kindergarten. He's not the one that's threatening you with a rifle. It's an average Russian guy that does it.…

If Russia manages to occupy Ukraine through repressions then wouldn't this invite Chechnya 2.0, but with 30x the people? Can the Russian state even survive something like that?
