Otherwise it might just be racism.
Wage suppression is more likely because of the long list of neoliberal polices that the government has adopted.
* I know It's not a real Nobel prize and economics is largely a field about looking for evidence to support the ideologies of wealth hoarders.

If it was actually true that people who came here to study English were suppressing the wages of native workers, then I would really like to see the data to supports this.
The Nobel prize in Economics* was literally awarded to someone who found proof of the null hypothesis on this topic.

Also to answer your question @oceanclub.bsky.social, yes, case in point, Himmler.
He believed he was a reincarnation of some noble Knight and was into the occult.
And liked to give lectures on his various nerd interests to a group of business people who were sucking up to him.

I think a lot of the modern far right talks this way because they spent too much time in speech and debate clubs and they think talking like this sounds super masculine and impressive to normal people.

Transport Minister ‘not writing anything off’ in bid to ease problem in urban areas
Has he considered not shelving rail projects? Not cutting funding for expansion of public transport could be worth looking at too.

This is one of these ideas that both sides of the Atlantic are mutually baffled by.
I think on one of my trips to the US Google said I walked less than 850 metres in the course of a week. Which blew my mind.
I walk more than that to the train station on the days I'm in the office.

I have actually seen these birds in the wild. They're incredibly beautiful, but very loud.
I normally follow this account to get use to reading descriptions in Portuguese. It's nice to see a familiar looking bird every now and then.

I'm pretty sure that there are multiple providers like OVHcloud that would tick all of the most common boxes.
I've no idea why they wanted to run kubernetes by themselves, other than to reduce their bills.

But if you really want to distract yourself from the constant existential dread caused by the awareness of mortality you can just go watch the Star Wars movies you like.
There's loads of things I don't particularly care for. But I don't feel the need to make them a core part of my personality.

There’s still time to check seanadvoter.ie and get registered for the new Seanad Higher Education constituency before the February 26th deadline.
Please don’t assume you’re on the list as voters on the previous NUI and TCD panels were not automatically added to this new register.

I watched it the way its creator invented, on an airplane, over the south Atlantic, lapsing in and out of consciousness.
It was probably okay. I don't quite understand why the squeal trilogy gets so much hate, exactly what story would these people have preferred that they told?

People love to feel like they're getting a deal even when they're just getting a 5% of nothing discount on something.
I usually add 10%-15% to the price I want to sell it for to allow for people who want to haggle over basically nothing.

I've been there a few times. I'm not really sure what they were thinking.
Maybe in a few years if they ever build that bridge the area might have some footfall.
But otherwise it's a bit too much effort for food and beer that isn't that good.

I always see Tom Green as someone who loves to do new things, usually strange things, but is put off by everything else that came with fame.
After he left his hit TV show he started live streaming his own internet show from his living room. And this was in the dail up days.

They used to, but then you had people who were accepted into training but then stuck for months in a holding pattern waiting for a police report from another country about the criminal history of a relative they probably don't really know.
