Professional rates (hourly) in my industry have pretty much moved sideways over the past three years, but sure: the people causing the economic stagnation can just freely write their own salary cheques.

Zero KPI, zero CPE, and zero deliverables except more crime and decay.

There is a Venn diagram overlap between people who most enthusiastically support extreme accelerationism (and the accompanying hardship and difficulties), also having the lowest tolerance for even the slightest inconvenience.

Zimbabwean is very upset that South Africa has not turned into Zimbabwe.

You clearly missed the nuance.
A white president in South Africa would be a reflection of black failure to govern, and of the failure to deliver the promise of a better society than the one white governments offered during colonial and apartheid rule.

For black people to knowingly vote for a white president, fully aware of South Africa's history, would be the worst indictment of black rule.

I get the strongest of impressions that far too many journalists want the public confined to the comments sections of the publications they control, and that the freedom of expression (and to publish) outside their narrow little clique is a massive problem for them.

@Paratus2014 @CommonSense_ZA Journalists want to be “influencers” because publications like @CommonSense_ZA are doing what they’re meant to do, better than them. Survival instinct kicking in. Either that or there has been an instruction passed down.
