"Here's What You Need to Remember: Men like Denard but perhaps a little less theatrical—many of them South Africans—took the next logical step. They founded businesses with boring-sounding names but a deadly purpose: to fight Africa’s nastiest conflicts on behalf of corrupt, inept governments, and for profit"
I'm heartily sick and tired of the way white South African men are portrayed as the 'new bogeymen'.
Each country has its good and bad men (and women for that matter), and if you could do a census I can almost guarantee the distribution would follow the usual Bell curve.
Get your facts first, then you may distort them as you please.
July 2020 and I had my first interview in August (unsuccessful), then another in April (also unsuccessful) until I was offered the one I'll start soon.
(UK based) About 18 months ago, poor promotion prospects and minimal yearly wage increases brought me to the point where I realised I was punishing myself waiting for things to improve.
So I polished my LinkedIn profile and made myself visible to recruiters.
I'll soon start a new job with double my current salary and none of the daily grind of the current one. The Great Resignation has served me well.
Education is key here - we the tech-savvy, need to make more of an effort to educate those less so, on how to remove files from their devices that could prove compromising in the future.
Naturally, I understand that what I've just said isn't the whole answer, but I really do think it's a good place to start.
I say, more strength to her elbow - even while understanding the ultimate futility of what she is doing given the nature of what Wikipedia actually is.
So, accidently on purpose? If true then, how very ironic.
What concerns me is, these people say "trust us", but then things like this happen, and then their subsequent behaviour belies their request that we trust them.
And until we can get back to a position were these people can be trusted, well then distrust and suspicion will be the order of the day.
As a family we switched to Telegram about 18 months ago, and so far we've not found a reason to switch back.
Indeed, as often as I can, I encourage others to make the switch too - to Telegram or Signal or any other secure messaging app, just don't stay on WhatsApp!
So let me see if I have this right - Fastmail will give the Australian government access to your private correspondence, but only if said government proves to Fastmail that you've been involved in a crime?
So their default position is to give access - with checks and balances, but still to give access.
Why must the default be that governments get access? That's NEVER gone well in the past, why should now be any different?
British Petroleum ceased to be back in the 2001. Continuing to call them that is puerile at best and purposefully disingenuous at worst. Both of which detracts from the overall points the author is trying to make about the overuse and misuse of the term carbon footprint. Which is a pity really.
If we're honest with ourselves then we'd have to admit this was going to happen. After all, no government voluntarily downsizes itself,so it follows that they wouldn't let go of powers they gave themselves to deal with it.
