Exactly my point. And it's not going to be easypeasy in the better off nations either. Just look at what a ship accident in the Suez canal did to European goods. What China's covid problems did to global availability of goods. We had to worry about food problems because of the war in Ukraine. Our economy is global and fragile, because there are no redundancies.
The Western world will suffer as well, even if they close all borders and manage to keep people out of it. Why would the rest of the world produce for us if they have other problems to worry about?
Tell me why this will not end in a massacre? The Western nations are already electing fascist leaders with a minor refugee crisis. When the situation worsens, borders will be closed, people will be shot or otherwise "taken care of". I wish it weren't so, but with our history and current trajectory, why is it not going to end like that?
It's not about child abuse, it's about not making enough money so they need their children to help out. If they get a fair salary, they don't need to exploit their kids for labor.
That is why I'm buying chocolate made in Africa, rather than chocolate made from beans from Africa. That way the value is generated there and not here.
Lol, if it's hard to convince ex-soviet nations how hard is it going to be to get Western europe to be Russians. It's pure, delusional propaganda. The guy probably couldn't look at himself in the mirror that day.
I've never really understood people wanting to travel there or even move there as the danger of terrorist attacks seemed to high to risk it (and I travelled quite a bit in the world).
But when I looked into it to resolve my ignorance the apartheid nature seemed very clear to me (I had family in SA) so I was aware of the issue. So since a couple of years ago, maybe even a decade, the politics of Israel were very much against what I deem right and productive.. or ethical.
So superficially I was for Israel (history class in school, Western news reporting, etc.) before I started inform myself.
Sure, but hype will evaporate into a cloud of hate if claims like these don't hold up. Especially when you're the underdog and "unknown" relative to Apple. We've seen this with Magic Leap for instance. Or with No Man's Sky to take an example from Gaming.
Quite a bold claim coming from a technology that so far has suffered from input/output delay causing nausea, warping at close range and noise in low light. I've tested both the XR-3 and the Quest 3 and while the pass-through technology has come far, I would never confuse it with my own sight.
Good to see direct competition to Apple's headset though.
Am I the only one old enough to remember that no 3D GTA ever released on PC first? This should have been expected.
