Fun fact: 98.2% of jack booted witch burners who spend a lot of time thinking about how they are "disturbed" by pedophilia on the internet, are themselves closet pedos.
It's already dystopian for the bottom 50%. That's why the impoverished former industrial workers of the Rustbelt voted for capitalist dog real estate huckster Trump: Because the alternative was THAT MUCH worse.
Fascinating. And yet a Google search displays a little blurb at the top with a quote from BIS: "Covered interest parity (CIP) is the closest thing to a physical law in international finance."
Looks like Alphabet has discovered another capitalist-approved "fact".
Good going, Brits. You folks have somehow managed to build an EVEN MORE creepy jack-booted Puritan regime than we have in the States. Cheerio, hats off, hip hip hurrah!
I miss the Soviet Union. America's rivalry with the Soviets kept us free. Shortly after the end of the Soviet Union came the end of freedom in America.
Dear Russians (there are many of you here today, I'm certain): please consider reviving Communism. America needs you! Also, the red hammer & sickle flags looked super cool.
Living in the top class of a foreign country is definitely a win for the individual, decrease in absolute pay notwithstanding. Trust me, I'm doing that right now, and it's awesome!
But make no mistake - it's also a huge FAIL for our country. I grew up in the Rustbelt, watching as our heavy industry was shut down, packed up, and shipped to China. I can't tell you how sad it is to see much the same thing happening to the software industry.
I just ask up front. Since I'm fairly happy with my current position, and most recruiter spam comes from companies with worthless pay and restrictions on remote work (a must for me). No point wasting my time even talking to 99% of recruiters.
Now if a recruiter contacted me offering a Wall Street level salary - i.e. enough to actually afford good property in a major American city - I'd be happy to chat.
Here in Vietnam, partly because of exchange rate imbalances, foreigners typically earn 4x to 20x the average local salary. This has two effects:
1) No company would ever even think of hiring a foreigner if there is a local citizen who can do the job. Therefore most foreigners work either as language teachers or in high level business or engineering roles. Software companies, for instance, typically have zero foreign grunt programmers.
2) There's very little public resentment of foreigners - because there are few of us, we're not taking jobs from Vietnamese citizens.
If the H1B program was changed so that all imported workers were paid 10x the local prevailing wage, I'm pretty sure the economic problems caused by the program would very quickly disappear, and with that so would resentment of foreigners disappear. Seems like a winning move to me.
But if we didn't have a judicial oligarchy to override the voice of the people, how could our masters be confident in their ability to continue exploiting us?
Honest question: why do so few companies use Ada? It looks like a pretty nice language... But I've literally never seen it in use at a private company.

Nice wallotext! Shills be shillin' =)

Link to your version, broham?
Same reason few ever gave much attention to Eiffel.

Feminists are the new fundamentalist religious nutjobs. New faces, new funding sources, same foaming at the mouth hatred of healthy heterosexuality.

There's no requirement whatsoever that propaganda be false. In fact I quite suspect that true propaganda is much more effective.
I wish. But alas, probably not true. Remember they teach BLM-style racism as "fact" in many California public schools. Probably elsewhere as well.
Vladimir Putin is hiding under President Trump's bed in the Whitehouse. Just look - he's there right now!

I believe both Facebook and Google are working on identifying corporate propaganda, which they plan to label as "facts".
There are no farmers left, only agribusiness.

Maybe because also every company is doing Agile Scrotum, and they're Not Doing Agile Right(tm).

In Soviet America everything is a crime.
"Bad Uber, bad! Those deplorables are supposed to starve in the street like dogs. How dare you give them honest, useful employment!"

Mao's books are so much more interesting than those other two clowns.
Private property religionists sure do love dystopian surveillance states.
But how can we be a free country if we're not all spied on 24/7?
