Yes, and it's nothing new.

When rich nations destabilize poor nations and incentivize cheap labor to migrate to the rich nation.

> My hope (as a West German) is that investments like this, will increase East-Germany's economy such that they are finally equal in terms of economic wealth

Is this a bad joke? Is it possible that you actually don't comprehend the ramifications of eternal human labor trafficking?

No sooner than the day we abolish the profit motive.

It's not the phone carriers' problem FYI.

My sweet summer child...

not industry standard, useless

Blaming doesn't fix anything. The real point here is that it's a political issue and the open source community is too infantile for politics so they keep lying to themselves instead.

> Everything works.

...if you're a software engineer. If you need Photoshop or Word or another industry standard software then you don't count.

Honestly this sounds like a terrible platform for advertising.

The top 50% of taxpayers control 97.6% of the wealth.

While many surely do their best, nobody supports a family on 20k/yr in the US.

> why would people work hard without personal upside?

Define "personal upside" because people work hard all the time absent a path to power, or even material benefit! Come to think of it, why do people have children?

Humans are social animals and they are deeply moved to work extremely hard for the sake of love, dignity, and respect alone. Contrary to the nonsense picture you paint, humans only lose touch with such desires in the face of hopelessness to realize them.

Unmatched doesn’t make it qualitatively unique. It’s a problem everywhere.
