The black folks still in Africa were the ones selling the slaves so maybe not.

Slavery was widespread and universally practiced across the world throughout history. Everyone posting on this board is a descendent of someone who was a slave at some point. Transatlantic slave trade is a drop in the bucket.

Probably because living in PNG sucks and they would rather risk their lives at a chance of improving their condition. Same reason immigrants came from Germany to the US to live in mud dugout houses in the plains. Or immigrants go anywhere r

You can take your kids to parents days out or parks where they consistently meet with other kids and become friends. The option isn't 100% daycare or 100% staying at home and never seeing anyone.

Yes but a daycare isn't your village raising your kids, it's random people, most aren't from your community much less your own country.

Yes, community raising of children is how it "used to be" but dropping your kids off for 8-10 hours a day to be raised by absolute strangers with zero ties to your family and spending time with other kids who have zero familial ti

These guys (VCs) entire livelihoods rely on tens of thousands of young people throwing away their early years of lives trying to get super rich. Only .01% even see moderate success but PG and co don't care and continue to pump the drea

> don't get married, don't have children Bad advice. You’re going to need family connections and loyal people you can bet your life on to survive if the rest of what you’re saying is remotely true.

Those aren't the same workers though. There's a dichotomy of remote workers - some are screwing off during the day and some are working more hours than they should be since it can be hard to unplug from the desk (especially if it&

And money spent on a more expensive house closer to the office vs the same home in an affordable place. It's the main reason I can't go back to San Francisco, once you get used to a less than one million four bedroom house in a pl

I'm glad you work remote because to be candid you sound like a miserable person to be stuck in an office with.

Unchecked illegal immigration leading to wage/housing cost pressure, unmitigated spending driving inflation (which Trump has continued) via unnecessary stimulus, high oil prices causing everything to cost more not just the price at the

All land is "stolen". The people the US "stole" the land from had "stolen" it from someone else and so on and so forth.

Well whatever you guys have been doing hasn't worked for a damn and only hampered EU's ability to actually project power and make changes.

Places I know that are getting them are generally seeing big time pay (relatively that is) for construction work and then dozens to a hundred of ongoing jobs once the work is done. That doesn't sound like much but it's huge for ma

Yet Europeans will continue to hamstring their economic activity to lower their footprint which is really not doing anything in the grand scheme of things vs. China/India and what Africa will produce if/when they modernize.

What is the increase in jobs/GDP for those communities that have paid more in electricity? A lot of these data centers are built in places with declining population and zero economic prospects for locals within their communities so the

China is still doing horrendous things to its population that the US stopped doing over 100 years ago. Not the same.

“Scientific expertise” was already sold out to politics as we saw during covid. The further degradation to podcast bros is the cherry on top.

I wish we’d focus more on living standards than wealth as I think that’s what really matters. “How can we lift up the people with low living standards in the US?” should be the question rather than “How can we keep people from becoming ultr

Or how about you get the heck out of the fast lane when someone is approaching you going faster? Tailgating is an acceptable and common way to tell someone to gtfo of the way. That is common courtesy in most states in the U.S.
