Because they aren't actual slaves, and can make actual money for themselves, and then leave the country much wealthier than they were when they entered (if they choose to leave).

Because they're actually following laws and can be found easily in case their visa expires. Expired visa holders are the easiest deportations ever.

Because they're less likely to be drugged out, beaten/abused, and otherwise living in horrific conditions.

Because their economic activity is less likely to financially-benefit violent gangs/paramilitary organizations.

At least they're mostly hot chicks.

There are some women (and girls) who are smuggled into the country and have their documents/passports seized, living as sex slaves. They don't get visas. Much of that trafficking has been shut down.

In the 1890s, New York produced ~500 tons of horse manure every day. That's way worse.

Or they can just burn it. Or use pyrolysis.

Yup. I can't link it because I don't have time to find the supporting article(s), but I read that c.auris can survive in a contaminated hospital room for weeks through multiple bleachings/peroxide cleanings, UV exposures, etc. AND as the link I did post indicated, it gets all over catheters and other bits and bobs. And in bedding, hospital gowns, basically everything. It's awful for people susceptible to it, and "just another yeast" to everyone else.

Fortunately it does seem that we're slowly beginning to understand HOW it survives, which may eventually lead to some cleaning treatments that could attack biofilms directly. Until then, we have to hope that it doesn't somehow become more-virulent and dangerous to the general population.

Hospitals and doctor's offices are where the sick often congregate. Plenty of people spread diseases to others in waiting rooms etc. Doctors/nurses/etc. do their best to keep these areas clean and sterile, but that's often not possible, especially when certain pathogens (such as c. auris) are resistant to measures that can normally sterilize surfaces.

C. auris is particularly hardy:

I've read some articles in the past that this fungus survives UV exposure, heating/cooling, and broad spectrum antifungal chemical exposure (bleach, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). It's really hard to get rid of in a hospital setting, so much so that it used to be that hospitals that had c. auris infestations didn't like it to be advertised. Most patients won't suffer any I'll effects from exposure, but a few (notably the immunocompromised) can die from it.

Why do people continue to misuse the word "oligarch"? People who wield power due to their wealth are plutocrats. Members of a politburo are oligarchs.

Okay cool. What does that have to do with ChatGPT and Perplexity completely screwing up on current events?

First off, check the needless hostility.

Secondly, I'm not talking government jobs data, but rather stories like these. Do yourself a favor and try reading next time.

Inside the above link you'll find a breakdown of which companies were laying off people and how many. Do press outlets show the same hiring data?

No, they don't.

There's been a lot of layoffs. Where are we seeing actual job growth? It's hard to detect since the press often ignores hiring sprees but still reports layoffs.

In terms of ubiquity, yes. Intel did stuff the channel with a lot of downmarket 10nm/Intel 7 junk. Hard to say if that's what's really affecting Steam survey results though.

And? You don't just buy AMD for a "big powerful gaming rig". An old 5800X3D is the best deal in old CPU tech going if you can find one (which is difficult to do). And AMD sold the hell out of the 3600/3600X.

Maybe, but it really shouldn't have taken this long.

The last truly dominant desktop CPU Intel produced was the 9900k. The last competitive gaming CPU they produced was the 12900k. The 13900k and 14900k destroy themselves, and the 285k was too little/too late. Gotta wonder why Intel still has so much representation on the Steam Survey?
