Well, if that is how you define "coercion", then the term has nothing to do with slavery, forced labor, or injustice anymore.
Except that it does. When a choice is made of the least of the worst, force exists. It means that one is only able to mitigate an undesirable situation, not remove it.
In a big city like New York or Sydney there are "selective" high schools like Bronx Science or Stuyvesant or Sydney Girls High School where elementary school kids have to take a test to get in. Always the school ends up being 80% Asian, either because they're smart, or work hard, or their parents have strong test-prep culture which fits the test-based state school admission better than it fits selective college admission. Yet somehow white students don't complain that they don't have the advantage Asians do because they live in a neighborhood that's predominantly white and go to schools that are predominantly white and therefore shitty, so they lack the secondary education opportunities of Asians.
Sounds like a case for applying disparate impact to kill off the selectiveness.
They're not prizing education, but the ability to make certain tiers of education. It's a lighter, friendlier, less free system comparable to India's castes - as competence is tertiary to tiering and testing.
On the other hand, the United States allows all and does quite well. If one were to factor that in tests, that would put the US at/near the top. However, don't let a little statistics get in the way of your narrative.
the transaction between landlord and tenant is "voluntary", coercion can be involved when another reasonable choice would be preferable, if made available.
When you cut corners with the very people responsible for your IT infrastructure, things like this will happen. Treat them well, even hire them directly, things like this tend not to happen.
Unfortunately, the UK is rife with this kind of corner-cutting.
FARK.com went through a similar "cleansing" a while back, again motivated by the desire for advertising revenue. I moved to IMGUR as an alternative to FARK.
That was done with a few other sites in an attempt to contain the GamerGate controversy. It failed.
The workers that actually have to deal with it are further screwed - contract labor makes things as healthy and stable as being next to a malfunctioning nuclear reactor. Long-term anything goes out the window and compensation is made on worse terms.
The promise of the cloud is that your storage and computing problems will be abstracted away from messy physical objects that you need to maintain, taken care of far way by other people that are not well treated for their work.
At least the first mainframe era had some respect for the people involved in the infrastructure. These days, globalization has killed it in favor of mistreatment and abstraction of the workforce.
What do you do about the Enter key on the numeric keypad? The F has a stabilizer wire which the M lacks, so if you put the black key on as-is it sits limply and doesn't click properly.
Use one of the stabilizer plugs on the lower barrel (gray, plugs in one of the barrels). It'll work just fine.
Similarly, the spacebar stabilizer wire is different - how do you get the black spacebar to attach properly?
One of the stabilizer wires will attach to the M13 spacebar and the keyboard itself.
I see that whoever did that mod changed the F to ANSI layout. I kept mine as ISO but that meant I had to stay with a few non-black keys.
That's also my doing. Unlike the M, changing keys requires less toolwork; you only need a flat-tip screwdriver, pliers, and careful attention as the plate cover slides right out.
The only word of caution that I have is that fixing broken traces is a PITA.
Not going to happen as long as there's an effort to oppose US citizens. No sense in taking envious jabs out at the modern-day Roman Empire just because you live on the wrong side of it.
Why do kids born in America deserve higher wages and better jobs than immigrants?
The US has a higher degree of personal freedom not present in nearly all the offshoring destinations. In every sense of the word, businesses in this environment hate freedom.
Are the immigrants not human too?
Guest workers are not immigrants. Before you ask, mine came to live long, prosperous lives as citizens.
I would just respond that this same globalization has pulled far more humans out of poverty than any aid program ever has or will.
The vast body of evidence would point to a large wealth transfer that penalizes freedom.

They have a four-banger, full size van that gets over 25 MPG with a diesel.
There's your problem.

Public schools, as done in the US, allow a wider amount of individuals to access education in ways not otherwise available.

Forcing diversity only makes the problem worse. Never mind that the survey also indicated a potential offset of citizens with non-citizens.

FTFY for truth
When conditions exist that are technically "voluntary" but do not lead to meaningfully different/better choices, force exists in a subtle form.
Are you a subscriber to either Verizon Wireless or AT&T? They're about the only ones wanting to go that path - and remain on it.
On the other hand, Sprint and T-Mobile will at least offer non/very-lightly metered data plans. With them, sanity prevails.
If you want anything close to unlimited (without a legacy plan), Sprint and T-Mobile are your only options.
After letting the Chinese walk out with everything from Nortel, Huawei now exists a PRC government-backed entity.

How about recognizing that if a product isn't perfect, that criticism is valid? That handwave doesn't work.
- He didn't bring the documents into Russia. He left them with reporters
The only sources of that statement are individuals that were involved with the incident.
You're the first to go and the least likely to be treated with any respect.

For those coming from the SJW-friendly sectors of Reddit (such as SRS,Ghazi):
Quit trying to harass the non-SJW population while you're still behind.
Scratch Huawei anything and you'll see Nortel & PRC military markings under it.
The requisite denial by China says it all.
I have lots of people in my life that need ZERO ports on their laptop.

The prior owners of Volvo would not have done it that badly.
Those modifications were my doing.

Enough with the economic nationalism already.
