Who cares who is in the top 1%? You're all missing the point. We should strive to provide decency to all people, and decency doesn't require being rich. The best societies can be monarchies or even oligarchies. Stop obsessing over

Just unfollow everyone, you won't have a feed. There's nothing to do on there without a feed and you won't miss anything. It takes some time to do it but it's worth it. I still login pretty much daily but leave quickly.

Interesting thing here is that is an example of why privatisation is bad (the people get scammed), but at the same time an example of government's administrative incompetence (which can be an argument for privatisation). Personally, I&

Indeed there have been several anecdotes in the media about that situation: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/world/africa/trump-refuge... This is really disgusting behavior by the US. If this was

I just watched a documentary on the shipbreaking "industry" in Bangladesh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhIaEEW63Sc It's horrifying, but I don't know that I can come up with a remedy. Clearly, these m

Sounds like another reason to not host global events in the USA. Los Angeles should drop its bid for 2024 Olympics; there is zero chance now.

We do not need more entry level candidates. By allowing the importation of entry level workers you deny graduates the chance to receive training and obtain valuable experience. There's then little incentive for employers to train fresh

Wrong. That is not the issue here. In the draft which leaked, it clearly suspends immigrant and nonimmigrant entry to nationals of the listed countries. According to this, a US green card holder who is an Iranian citizen cannot travel bac

What you're forgetting is that the cabinet serves at the pleasure of the President, they are not counter parties to him. They carry out direction from the President. They can be fired and replaced very quickly.

Please take a look at Australia (lots of Iranian PhDs going to unis in Melbourne; great CS programs in Sydney too), or Canada, where your skills will not only be appreciated but you will have a clear path to permanent residency based on you
