You're right it doesn't but everyone seems to assume it will which is quite baffling.

Tourism is a low value-added industry or not it's not something they can afford to loose at the moment. It's not like all the citizens of Italy are highly skilled workers that would be working a better paying job if they lost their current low paying one.

Because it doesn't have a limit or conditions the overwhelming majority of assumed refugees are illegal immigrants brought over on the boats of NGO's. They haven't used the proper channels and haven't been checked what so ever in many cases it's not even possible to know their country of origin forget about anything else.

If they have completed the proper procedures and done all the paperwork for seeking asylum fair enough but that's not what's happening now they just show up.

Being a humanitarian is admirable but at the end of the day it's a luxury that may or may not pay off in the long run.

Just the same way you don't give your money to a beggar on the street when you can barely afford to survives yourself the employment of personal boundaries is important for humans and countries.

So given that Italy is not doing so well at the moment I kind of have to question their thinking reducing their revenue stream in favour if immigrants.

The assumption that all immigration is good immigration is not true.

As far as I'm aware tourism is not a short term thing there will always be tourists coming and leaving this is an constant revenue steam in its own right.

So I don't get what you mean.

They really just need to search for ways to manage the crowds instead alienating them to be honest.

Tourist bring a lot of money to local businesses you really shouldn't be killing the goose who lays the golden eggs if you ask me.

I found the quote “tourists go home, refugees welcome” quite funny.

So what their basically saying is they would rather kick out tourists that bring in and spend quite a lot of money effectively boosting the economy in favour of some refugees the government will have to spend a large amount of money on... and you wonder why the contry's economy is in such a bad shape when the citizens advocate shooting themselves in the foot.

You don't see me throwing piss in people’s faces or crashing and trying to ban talks in universities just because they express views and opinions that contradict mine do you?

I don't need to block anyone with contradicting opinion because I'm open to changing my mind if someone comes out with solid research data and facts to prove their view.

But nice try ;)

There's a fine line between expressing one's views and trying to silence others you seem to have problems seeing the difference.

I didn't think being against censorship is such a controversial stance here on HN my how we have fallen...

Not to mention even a study that didn't pan out still has a lot of data that may be used for something else in the future.

Even a failed creation has parts that can be re used in other projects after all.

Moon reader + on android allows you to invert the colours and that's what I do every time when I read pdf's and the like.

Don't you use websites that have a dark theme more instead. I always preferred websites that allowed me to select a dark theme and it seems to be more and more popular to do that.

Hell even you-tube does that now.

I found that black background with white text is great when you have perfect eyesight but once your eyesight starts to go and you start needing glasses white background with black text is easier to read.

it's quite odd. It could be just a personal thing though.

it is but it's not feasible for the system theme to change the styles of websites.

Just ask any Linux user that uses dark themes and you will find out what happens when the system theme messes with the site theme.

I myself always set a light theme in my Firefox config so I don't get a black on black text/background issue.

With how customized the styling on sites is every site needs to implement their own dark version otherwise you will run into situations where the styling is broken.
