Happens, you gotta implement caching, rate limiting, use any anti-bot tool. I once had to spend an entire night rebuilding our frontend API because probably an AI crawler nuked our DB by repeatedly hitting an unoptimized query. You learn from your mistakes.

And this development aid is going where exactly… to the estimated 800.000+ victims of the French there?

Algeria has rich natural resources and is not receiving a lot of "development aid“ in fact they kinda don’t want it and of the aid that is being paid out 80% doesn’t even leave French territory: https://al24news.dz/en/algeria-france-what-development-aid-are-we-talking-about/

Have you seen the images of humans wearing chains and sitting in cages? Have you read reports of what they have done to people there? This is such an uninformed, low effort comment, I think we can do better than that.

Italy, Germany and Japan have asked to join your party, what could go wrong?

And they will still end up cleaning your toilet and flipping my burger and deliver my food. I don’t get this obsession with "skilled labor“.

Humans like any other animal have been moving around ever since and only recently we as a species have developed this idea of imaginary borders and sense of entitlement to the place we randomly got thrown into without any doing of our own.

Even ignoring the humanistic aspect of this morally rotten debate, seriously, who’s gonna do all the shitty work that nobody wants to do? I don’t want to be a cleaner or work at McDonald’s in bumfuck nowhere next to a highway or work for a moving company or be a plumber.

It’s not even about money, I will just never want to do it and there’s not enough people in any of these jobs and many more even though we’re in an economic downturn period.

First Biden now this, seems like it’s too much to ask for that the US president isn’t suffering from dementia

I had to pull an all nighter to fix some unoptimized query because I had just launched a new website with barely any visitors and hadn’t implemented caching yet for something that I thought no one uses anyway, but a bot found it and broke my entire DB through hitting the endpoint again and again until nothing worked anymore

Kick Israel out first as you correctly did with Russia

Because it’s not worth engaging with this person I just copy paste my answer to the other place where they posted this.

Thanks for linking a source but this is a misleading interpretation, please don’t try to argue with data if you don’t know how to interpret it.

You need to look at e.g. the top 10%, middle 40% and bottom 50% to get a proper idea. And then look at it country by country because the scales don’t match. Yes, the USA are extremely inequal, I think back to like 1913 level in 2013 or something like that iirc, so if you put them on a plot with e.g. France, France will look great.

But if you look at France alone you get a different picture and inequality is rising again since the 80s. Here’s an article by a French economist with research focus on inequality which cites the same data: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/inequalities/2025/09/24/global-inequality-in-historical-perspective-part-1/
