  • However, fresh immigration does drive down the pay for trade work in areas where immigrants are skilled

    Let’s just be realistic about one thing, there will always be fresh immigration and you will never see all 20million undocumented people deported.

    The problem is that people who told you to be worried about immigrants are using your fear to keep them as an ‘illegal’ underclass. If they were just accepted as human beings and given the same legal rights and protections as everyone else, they too would have to be paid above minimum wage. They couldn’t be forced to work crazy hours for fear of deportation. You would have more people able to join your unions and make your attempts at collective bargaining stronger.

    So the answer to your concerns, if genuine, is to stop demonizing these people and start the process of giving them all documentation.



  • As someone else pointed out, the premise of this question is extremely faulty. Being user-friendly is one of the main advantages of proprietary software because they have teams of researchers and designers making sure that things are as frictionless as possible for the user. This isn’t to say they don’t use dark-patterns or engage in anti-consumer practices, but I’m certain that if you did a random sampling of F-Droid and the Play Store, you would find a lot more polished and user-friendly software on the Play Store than the FOSS apps on F-Droid










  • Instead of using YouTube for guidance, why don’t you talk to your Imam on Friday. The answer you get will be 1000 times more compassionate, practical and in-line with what your belief systems are than watching ‘Blacks for Trump’ videos.

    It really sounds like you’re brainwashed by online content if you’re a pro-Trump muslim when Trump is the most anti-Muslim President in history. He literally tried to stop all Muslims entering the United States and then changed it to ‘countries which happen to be muslim’ when he was told it was illegal and discriminatory. The list of Islamophobic Trump quotes is endless, and if you’re going to search the internet for anything I suggest you start there.

    Unless you’re a multi-millionaire or your last name is Trump, this guy is not your friend. He is nobody’s friend. Please stop caping for him on the internet because you’re only hurting yourself



  • We need to break them up, and legislate against their practices for the future but this is something that can happen right away and hit them in their pockets

    That was in my original comment. I was clearly making the point that the aim is to legislate against harmful practices. I don’t think most people need it spelled out for them why that is, or why we can’t do it right away but I’ve done my best to be patient in explaining it to you.

    If you want to take a weird stance that I’m being mean to corporations that’s up to you, but I didn’t say anything vengeful let alone posted a ‘screed’
