Precisely. If you try a few tourist phrases, or very basic French, it will be mildly appreciated. But if you speak fluent French with a bit of an accent, particularly in the big cities, you'll frequently be met with arrogance and attem

Apologies, my irony meter is malfunctioning today. I read it twice but I'm so used to reading this serious comments similar to your sarcastic critique online these days, it didn't read as sarcasm.

You're right. I re-read the article and there's really not enough data to make a firm conclusion, although it seems like a real possibility. I wish people on this site would just argue using facts like you do, instead of downvotin

Well-argued. I agree 100%. But note that you can oppose this current system of enforcement being described in the article without being in favor of open borders.

The point of the article is that a unusually high number of businesses targeted for these actions happened to be critiques of corporate 7-Eleven, or engaged in lawsuits. And yes, I would worry likewise if it were taxes used as the underlyin

While what you describe happened in Italy, at least in the Mussolini's early years in power, that is decidedly not what happened in fascist Germany, where business powers closely cooperated/collaborated with state powers. We can c

No, a corporation using a federal law enforcement agency to target owners who were disfavored by the corporation is typical of fascism. I'm not even interested in this fake debate that was stirred up about immigration. Of course we h

That's not primarily what the article is investigating. The article is pointing out 7-Eleven's alleged use of ICE and Homeland Security to target those franchisees who criticized or filed lawsuits against the corporation.

I know there are folks on here who will roll their eyes, but this kind of display is emblematic of a fascist government. Fascism is the bonding of state and corporate power, driven by nationalism, authoritarianism, and a (usually) charismat

Yeah, I struggled to find the right word, but settled on using "swap" since I couldn't think of any better description at the moment. That said, there is significant overlap between the two.

Yeah, I'm sure some incidents of this kind of fraud have happened, but I'm skeptical it happens often, simply because of driver incentives (ie, why make a quick hundred bucks if it's at the risk of never making any additional

Typescript significantly predates ES6 and Webpack. Java developers have been drawn to Typescript for over 5 years now.

That's why you check the signature to make sure it's the right one. It's almost always listed on the developer's web site, plus you can often google the signature to see if it's one other people are using as well.
