> In October, Google launched Crisis Info Hub, an effort to open source many of the tools refugees use and optimize the information so everything runs lightly on a phone. So far it only offers logistical information for the Greek island of Lesbos, the primary entry point for those going on to Europe. Google is calling upon volunteers to expand the number of locations included in the hub.
Why an American tech company is helping millions people to come to Europe where the countries are over burdened by this mass migration ?
There's already not enough jobs for the local population (France lost 1500 jobs every day in November), what are we going to do with them ? How many is enough, how many is too much ?
I don't think Europe can save everybody. But never mind : the "generous and kind hearted" activists of various NGO have decided to be generous in my name. If they want to do charity, fine, but not in my name. There's already enough poverty here that we can't tackle, let's not import some more.
Let's be lucid here, apart from a few success stories that the media will jump on, 95% of these migrants have a bleak future here. Check the 'Calais Jungle' if you want to see what we have to offer once Google has guided them here. Maybe Google should give us some funds to accommodate them in better conditions instead of thinking software is a solution to every problem.
