Big businesses want more immigrants for cheaper labor than the citizens.

Very wise, labour shortages can be devastating

Canada has rejected the application of an African-American who applied for refugee status on the grounds he was facing police racism and brutality in the United States.

Kyle Lydell Cantys application was denied by Canadas Immigration and Refugee Board in December and he is now back in the U.S...

...Ron Yamauchi, an IRB board member who wrote the decision, acknowledged that black people in the U.S. are stopped and questioned by police at the highest rate compared to other racial groups, the CBC reported. But the decision argued that Canty personally did not have a well-founded fear of persecution in his home country.

"His removal to the United States of America would not subject him personally to a risk to his life or to a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment, the decision read.

At his October hearing, Canty argued that black people in the U.S. are being exterminated at an alarming rate and said he feared for his life. He cited high-profile cases like the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner as evidence.

Canty faces criminal charges in multiple states for misdemeanors including jaywalking, threats and intimidation, trespassing and disorderly conduct, according to reports. But Canty told Vice in October that these charges are false -- the result of police targeting him because of his race.

He told Vice in an email this week that he wont be appealing the decision because he has become disillusioned with the Canadian government. But, he noted, "I still hate America."

Capitalism. The goal is to generate as much value as possible for the comapnied and their shareholders. You don't do that by paying your employees well.

Truckers are fucked. They're the first to get replaced by self driving tech.

Self-driving tech still has too many problems it ain't ready to take over yet.
