    A long while ago someone tried to convince me to take a job in Singapore on the same basis - get cheap help from whoever the underclass is there and do some white collar coasting.

            I fucking hate anticommunists so much. This is the “freedom” they hold sacred. The thing they’re willing to kill and enslave billions for. And they act like you’re the monster if you don’t agree.
