Apple's Jonathan Ive Says Immigration Vital For UK Firms (bbc.com)
The UK must keep its doors open to top talent from around the world if its technology firms are to thrive, Apple's chief designer has told the BBC. An anonymous reader shares the article: Sir Jonathan Ive, who has just been appointed Chancellor of the Royal College of Art, also said that technology hubs like Silicon Valley had a "tremendous cultural diversity". Some technology firms fear they may lose access to talent after Brexit. "That general principle [on access] is terribly important for creating a context for multiple companies to grow and in a healthy way explore and develop new products and new product types," Sir Jonathan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Sir Jonathan said the UK had a "fabulous tradition of design education", but that it needed to do more to become a technology hub on a par with Silicon Valley in California, where the likes of Apple, Facebook and Google are based. "I think Silicon Valley has infrastructures to support start-up companies... ranging from technological support through to funding," he said. "And there is the sense that failure isn't irreversible, so very often people will work on an idea, and there isn't the same sense of stigma when one idea and perhaps one company doesn't work out."
"1. Because it's a whole lot cheaper than paying for a hospital delivery, and then for health care for a kid."
Why should it pay for delivery? The mother does all the fucking work. If there are complications then those should be covered but delivery can be done at home, or in a car, or fucking anywhere.
Sorry but birth control is dirt fucking cheap. Pay for it yourself. It'll cost less than your fucking latte and you'll be less of a drain on civilized society. Stop being a leach.
