Without kids our economy and life will be much better.

Said, no economist ever.

Taiwan needs to breed like rabbits.

Or not. The world is running against hard limits that are now becoming more and more apparent. Power shortages in China, and natural gas shortages in Europe this winter are signs of things to come. You can’t have unlimited growth on a finite planet. It’s just mathematically impossible.

You gotta be kidding me. That’s all due to supply chain disruptions fron the pandemic.

So last year we didn’t have a pandemic? So why didn’t we have similar problems then when the situation was worse?

That’s the big misconception. No we don’t need any kids. Without kids our economy and life will be much better.

Says guy…In Tainan…I mean Norway. Where is ‘your economy and life’?

So anyway the Taiwanese American rich dickheads are back. I know this because I can hear their Porches and Ferraris accelerating up and down Tayou Rd.

Privileged as an ethnic group. Are all white Californians multi-millionaires?

Going by all the white homeless people and shite lined streets I doubt it.

You gotta be kidding me. That’s all due to supply chain disruptions fron the pandemic.

It is because of Brexit and Donald Trump.

I was wrong to say that SEA workers springboard into better wages.

How about springboarding to being treated like a human being, with the freedom to come and go as you please, with minimum safety guaranteed by law, with the right to spend your own money and hold on to your personal documents?

SEA workers will not see a cent of their wages until well into their contracts, may take years, depending on the debt acquired for the privilege to come to work to Taiwan, either 12 hours on a factory or 24 hours if home caregivers.

So excuse them for being so vain as to jump into the first opportunity to get outta dodge and earn a decent salary.

Yes thats true. But my comments were aimed at the thread title of high wage entitled tech workers, not fisheries workers.

the reality is, its not just SEA workers that get fucked here. lots do, absolutely. They also are the majority of foreigners here. Visa issues are a real issue though if comparing countries, thats a fact and cannot be argued by they can choose a better situation. No one is here complimenting taiwans workers rights. I bet the lions share of us here have all been truly fucked by it. I sure have, and i am not brown.
