Is higher demand and subsequent ballooning commercial rents a net positive for communities? I'd argue not at all. It's only a benefit to a very small number of people who have zero requirement to be local residents. Food vans are

That's absurd, not hiring a foreign national on security concerns is a daily event, can you name one discrimination case won for that?

Don't know anything about extradition but the law specifically mentions putting in backdoors to aid foreign nations at their request. It also notes that this can be for economic espionage too and isn't limited to national security

I hope that one day soon India and China foot the bill for the cleanup effort. Simultaneously claiming to be a formidable space power while making space ever more challenging to operate in doesn't add up but I'm sure it wins many

India blatantly does this already. They've cancelled valid patents when it suits them. To add insult to injury they also sell huge amounts back to America, it's their biggest pharma export market. Ive seen estimates around tens o

There is huge pressure from the US to shut down that special trade mechanism even though none of countries involved support further sanctions. Numerous banks have backed away from it. It's a token effort on the part of Europe to salvag

Do you honestly believe that an American traveling to Iran, Turkey, Cuba or Venezuela doesn't face magnitudes more scrutiny from their "political police"? Thousands travel daily between Taiwan and the mainland.

So you are claiming China paid money for recycling waste and then threw it straight in the ocean? Seems incredibly implausible.
