Man, just imagine doing your job, living at the other side of the world, spending months on sea to bring back some money for your family, and then some cunts just kill you because of a conflict you might not even know exists

I hope it's a temporary thing, but these temporary things tend to last and multiply

Saying stuff like "the only way Russia can win is if someone bails them out" is ignoring the hard reality of conflict. There is a reason Russia no longer wants peace.

Best I can do is legalizing corruption and then spend billion dollars on public programs explaining how lobbying helps the people, not capitalism

Isn't that normal on lemmy? It's also fully expected to see some comments about Israel under every post no matter how unrelated it is. People made fun of political obsession on reddit, but to me lemmy has always felt much worse in this regard

Please never become someone who makes important decisions in geopolitics

Literally most answers here disregard the dangers of Russia and my comment got downvoted into irrelevancy and then you claim that lmao

Jobs exist because of demand

I understand what you mean, but immigrants are not really the big spenders. Not at first anyways. So during initial phase, demand for output hardly moves, while demand for jobs go up, especially when many of the people work there to send the earned money back home, stalling the economy.

This reminds me of the times I was saving text files on my phone and sending them to random classmates, which makes me think that if two people (especially between iOS and Android) want to communicate in BT, there is no need for a third party app.

Faded superpower? Mate, this one country is now producing more weapons than all of nato combined. Wake up. While we're discussing how much to start spending on defense by 2030, russia has multiplied their manufacturing rates, hence the every upcoming week being the worst in Ukraine's history.

I got myself some good speakers, fairly good benq projector and 200inch screen. Best choice I made

If the projector survives for 4-5 years, then I might even make the money back by skipping on cinema visits
