I’m sorry but it’s always a trap and it sounds like you fall into it often.

I’ve seen an expo in England about abuse on domestic workers. It’s harrowing stuff. Basically legalised human slavery.

It didn’t solve it and it profited the shit out of it. At least criminal activity in the Fediverse doesn’t bring profit to the Fediverse.

My company outsourced most of the engineering team to India. It’s been an absolutely PAIN because communication is much more difficult. Nevertheless I feel so sorry for them because they do seem to work longer hours than us and I’ve seen the same person dealing with a handful of requests as when previously it was spread amongst the EU/US counterparts. I cant wait to leave this shit show.
