The elites will happily use Indians in management positions because they form no brotherly bonds with workers or with people outside of their group.
Look at the history of India, where they divide themselves up into preposterous castes, and where a small contigent of British soldiers and merchantmen were able to divide up the land, appointing local Princes to keep order.
Its the same now. Indians will do anything for money, and senior executives and boards know this. Even if it means kowtowing to a brutal Communist regime.
It will give Earth some breathing space if a few hundreds of millions perish. Particularly if those people are the elderly, or people in non-productive countries.
Huge VAT rates (24%) plus huge payroll tax rates create too high a burden. Lower VAT to 15%, eliminate all payroll taxes for the employer and replace them fully with income taxes for the employee (same net result anyway), and eliminate cash - forcing all transactions to be digital. Eliminate welfare including the aged pension for a massive saving (people should have children if they want support in old age).
This actually seems decent if they are all connected to WiFi, and able to cross-communicate. Eg. I could ask Alex 'has the microwave finished yet'? Or Alexa could tell me when I'm in another room that my microwave has finished.
A lot of the iPhones sold in India are refurbished ones original sold in rich countries. There is a whole logistics network to get them back from customers at the end of their contracts and into places like India.
This is great news for the prices of second hand iPhones, but its revenue that Apple doesn't see.
Whereas ethnic groups are forming 'no-go zones' all around Europe, where police cannot enforce the rule of law. Much easier to raid some White computer nerds setting up servers instead.
The classic and arguably best Disney movies once represented Middle Class American values.
Take for example Pinocchio. From its Wikipedia:
"The film is... intended to relay the "middle-class virtues of deferred gratification, self-denial, thrift, and perseverance, naturalized as the experience of the most average American"
Now Disney via Star Wars represents... the values of Purple-haired social justice warrior feminists?
People want simple tales, that show hard work, perseverance and team work rewarded. That's why Avengers etc. are so popular.
Aid is not the solution. We pour aid into Africa and the Middle East, yet their populations are exploding. They need to modernise themselves. Aid just kicks that can down the road.
By contrast, China received no aid, modernising themselves remarkably. They also made one of the biggest global contributions to the fight against global warming by voluntarily reducing the population by 400 million people via the One Child Policy.
I've worked as a product manager and this is the type of price discrimination that every company dreams of. Displaying different prices to different customer for that same item in order to maximise revenue.
Its also why there is so much push back against electric cars, which have far fewer moving parts and are simpler to maintain.
Micro-targeting of voters was used by Obama against Hillary.
But when Trump does it, suddenly Facebook has overstepped.
The solution is surely to restrict political advertising during elections. Other countries do this already.
Earth has always had a solution for one group of animals failing to thrive.
Natural selection.
If you cannot function in modern society, why should the rest of the productive citizenry pick up your slack?
Its dead easy to get a job in the USA now with unemployment so low. That is, unless you are lazy or dumb.
Let the critically violent and unemployed just die out, to be replaced with the offspring of the successful. Eventually (as has happened for billions of years) the entire population will just be the offspring of the successful, and we will probably be better off overall as a species.
Giving handouts just encourages welfare dependency and dysgenics (lookup the work of Richard Lynn).
Instead iPads are littered with free to play psycho addictive junk just like the mobile store. Non-free to play development on mobile is essentially dead.
I think its the failing of the store and lack of curation. Even a lack of basic features like being able to play a demo of a game or get an automated refund of something you don't like if you've played it for less than 30 minutes.
With electric vehicles, gas taxes won't be enough to pay for roads. We will need to tax road users based on where and when they are driving. The good news is that we can move efficiently tackle congestion by encouraging drivers to drive outside of peak hours and locations, and so level demand.

How many apps will get messed up now that a corner of the screen has a hole drilled through it?

Force them to make electric or nothing. We simply can't trust them with anything else.

From Australia:
A court-ordered blocking of 59 illegal sites has significantly reduced the level of online film and TV piracy in Australia, according to a new study.
Traffic to blocked sites has been reduced by 53 per cent while the overall level of piracy has fallen by 25 per cent year-on-year.

If you want to work on games, you might like to register and post a profile on www.gamejobforum.com - its a new website, but its a starting point.
So this fixes 'problem A'.
What do we do if we want to fix 'problem B'?
Do we interbreed the pigs?
We are going to start to need some source control software for all these modifications.
They are already neo-colonising Africa. Maybe they will use it to target the locals there. Its a whole continent for the taking.
Earth is on its way to 10 billion. All of the growth is in economically, culturally and technologically unproductive areas of the planet.
Can a virus be engineered to target those areas?
It sounds harsh, but maybe harsh measures are needed in the face of irreversible environmental destruction from human activity.
If it means you can replace a whole series of 'wall warts', this could be a good idea.
But the voltage should be enough to charge a mobile phone or run something like a digital radio.
Lights are so efficient nowadays, that you could even use it to run those.
And maintain 120/240v for things like Vacuums, Televisions, Computers, Washing Machines, Electric Cars etc.
When you have billions of poor, desperate people, crime (including cybercrime) and environmental destruction are the result.
Population control is required. Or, for the West to stop feeding with with hundreds of billions of dollars of food aid.
