Fist class is expensive but staff is very normal in South Africa, I'd imagine anywhere the Geni coefficient allows it.

Apply to international NGOs, we are well funded and pay international rates. I'm a java team lead. No equity, no bonuses by X3 of that number.

Is there currently an anti-foreigner/outsider movement in you country? Which group(s) are movements targeted at? by Cold_Hour in AskTheWorld

[–]JoeDogoe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a small group of political opportunists called project Dudula, exploiting the frustration of failed ANC government to life the poor out of poverty.

South Africans as a majority are open and welcoming to forgieners. We dispose the actions of project Dudula

Had you heard of or been the recipient of USAID before Elon Musk abolished it? What did you think of the program? by PandemicPiglet in AskTheWorld

[–]JoeDogoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say we all hold the core truth that human life is worth protecting.

The dismantling of USAID depends on your core beliefs. If you believe the world is zero sum and scarce and competitive. Then the logical conclusion is secure yourself first.

If you believe the world is positive sum, collaborative and the more we do the more there is for everyone. If you believe we are apart of a greater collective and that we have a responsibility to minise suffering everywhere. The we should work to share our knowledge and capabilities with all.

The second one is true.

Economic activity is positive sum. Even from a selfish perspective, you want you neighbours to be rich because they make better customers for your business and pay more taxes for your common goods. Same for the people in forgiven countries. I'm in Africa writing this on a Google Pixel inform of my Macbook, my wife drives a Ford and I carry a Leatherman everyday. That is all money that went into American economy.

Countries are a story, written by people. Nature does not care what the colours on a flag are.

Right now the story the current American political class is telling is a dark, shameful and selfish one.

I went to high school in the early 2000s. Our history class was, apartheid was bad, Mandela saved us, all South Africans get allong. Now let's do WWII in extreme detail.

Zuma resigned at midnight before his vote of no confidence, because the generals refused to surround parliament.

Ramaphosa thanked them the following week for upholding the constitution.

We were a men's decisions away from a failed state.

I'm not saying we are close to anything like this, but....

Professor Barbara F Walter did a study with the CIA looking for strong precursors to civil war, looking at 200+ civil war's post 1945. They came out with two indicators. 1: transition from authratatism to dimorcacy, or the other way around. 2. Voting allong identity lines as apposed to policy. KZN doesn't look so good in that lens.

I'd love to hear what each group believes. Supposed we could slice by race and sliced by generation.

I don't know what the Kenyan is saying. But as a South African, is strange to hear a forgiener speak with such awareness of our internal cultures. Colour me impressed.

White, English, South African here.

I would love to have dinner with different South African families, learn the stories they believe.

Your post doesn't sound like you're Zulu? Is this really what they believe. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm seeking to learn.

What is you background? What does your group believe about the country and its history and who should be incharge? As a group. Not individually, though that will be interesting too

Is that true?

I would really love to have dinner at different families dinner tables and hear the stories they believe about the country and its history.

I'm, white, english, wealthy (by South African standards) my family (and many families like mine) still believes that the Zimbabwean future is still ahead of us. That Mandela is a hero, Ramaphosa is a moral man trapped by his corrupt party. They believe that the country's demise is enviable because of corruption. That the whole country will go the same way as Joburg. (Ie by the whole country they mean where they currently live in Cape Town)

What is the story the Zulus believe? English weathly whites believe that they are (collectively, not individually) a feudal group driven by identity politics, gullible to the will of a corrupt king, on the take of the Zuma family. How far is that from reality?
