Sounds like good research to me, of course you need others to 'peer review

That looks like something else, but I know it is a map

Yes in theory as the min / living wage rises, then the income tax threshold should rise to take tha tin to account, so for the lowest earners they could get caught out by a tax by the back door.

@rockstorm @ElleGray

Or do people think kissing frogs will turn the frog in to a prince or princess ?

But yeah, based on what you said, they are kissing frogs to get high or in the hope of getting high, just weird.

@eob

How exactly do you correlate amount bought and amount eaten, what happens if I buy food and buy extra food to help out a neighbour who can't get out for example. ?

As I understand it, it comes down to the 2nd Amendment,. The right to bare arms and form a militia.

Written in 1776 or maybe just after.

I agree, and escpecially on things like training people on skills, it is far better to invest in your own population, and toa point when you do so, you end up exporting that expertise around the world. I know in the US there is an intercompany transfer visa, (or there was) so a person working for a multi-national has a chance to go and work in different countries, great way to experience different cultures.

Another thing is, that we in the UK are already short on dentists for example so more people coming in puts pressure on an already overstretched system, that doesn't do anyone any good.

Migrants with speficic skills who want to carry on in a new country also need to be able to go to that area, so a farmer will want to go to a rural farm area, rather than a big city for example so they can carry on farming.

Perhaps also by knowing who is coming in to a country, it is hopefully possible to protect people from explitation, if you are not documented, you don't exist, so how can you even be here, on paper you are not. Being here legally gives you the same rights as others, if on a specific visa, then you can work in certain jobs, earn the right living / minimum wage and afforded the same rights as other workers.

Hopefully this is of course reciprocated.

What do you think to Suealla Bravermans comments about the UN refugee defintion being out of date as it was written in 1949 (or was it 1951) which was a different era. As I have mentioned before doesn't take in to account global warming (or at least I don't think it does). So her idea is to reduce incoming migration, my comment was to update it so it is fit for 2023 and beyond and the global situation, perhaps a new clause in there to say looka t this every 10 years and tweak accordingly. So agree with her but not in the way she wants us to agree.

@ElleGray

Why are they even doing this in the first place, or is this some stupid social media craze ?

How would sharing to youtube work, if you watch a video > a certain length you get adverts.?

@knittingknots2

How does water vapoour cause depletion of ozone.?

I think Ozone is created by the bombardment of O_2 with radiation in the atmosphere, so would be interesting to learn more about the process.

@johnabs @zoejardiniere

Migration is needed to bring in skills to a country where those skills are in short supply, the downside of that is it depletes the originating country of those skills.

I think we have seen evidence of that in Nigeria, skilled doctors leaving the country to work elsewhere, and even here in the UK doctors are looking at leaving to work in other countries, better pay, better conditions and for many a better work life balance.

I agree that moving away from a country doesn't solve the inherent issues that country faces.

It will be interesting to see how climate change impacts on migration as areas of the world become uninhabitable due to heat for example.

The EU / UK GDPR allows people to find out what data is being held, check it is correct and request it to be deleted.

Easier said than done with big tech companies but at least the law is on the right side here.
