IMHO Mark Zuckerberg is a textbook case of someone who got lucky once by basically being in the right place at the right time, but who attributes his success to his skill. There’s probably a proper term for this.

To be fair, buying Instagram so early + WhatsApp were great moves too.

The world leaders are not doing enough to end this genocide. Where are the sanctions? Where is the pressure to end this? Just empty words.

The oppressors have free reign without serious consequences.

> Toronto, where immigrants from the subcontinent grow up in enclaves surrounded by other immigrants.

Citation please, because this is sweeping. Two questions to consider:

1. Are these enclaves representative of the subcontinent, or of a few over-represented communities that is actually a small fraction of the Indian subcontinental population?

2. Of all the people from the Indian subcontinent here, how many live in enclaves versus otherwise?

Brampton, Thorncliff, Scarborough, etc. There's no shortage of immigrant heavy neighborhoods.

Heck, I'm in Durham and the demographics are changing rapidly.

>I would challenge you to go to a coffee shop in any major city and try to find a Canadian worker.

Why do Canadians put up with going to coffee shops that make you call into a call center in another country to order coffee?

For non-Canadians, this may be hard to comprehend how quickly the demographics have shifted, but the Indians are here in person. No need to send the order to a call center in India. We have that many.

Canadian banks, telecoms, and even retail chains, have been shamelessly replacing Canadian workers with Indians for decades.

At this point, a plurality of our new immigrants come from one or two states in India.

I would challenge you to go to a coffee shop in any major city and try to find a Canadian worker.

Not sure what the future is for a Canadian worker, but it's bleak.

Anecdotally, most of my friends and acquaintances are making a conscious effort to boycott Israeli products.

Not sure what the relevance is but Starbucks seems to be the first to go.
