Whistleblowers don't do that. The media does. Do you know what whistleblowing is?

by whitemary 3y ago
That's not whistleblowing, so no, it does not give whistleblowing a bad name. This is actually very simple.

What do you think class is? Class is determined by one's role in society. Working people are working class , and Donald Trump is not one of them. Owning people are "owning class" also called "bourgeoise" and Donald

Yes, really. I was interviewing last year and used it in one of the projects on my resume. Almost nobody knew what it was. In fact, exactly 1 out of 25-30 people I discussed the project with knew what Traefik was..

It's a trend towards lower wages. That's all.
