  • Phones were always banned in my classes. I don’t know why anybody expected smartphones to be allowed.

    If even during an activity where concentration isn’t necessary they can distract, just ban them. The cinema is a good example they are bright, somebody always forgets to turn off the sound, and while you look up who that actor is or whatever, you miss part of the movie. In school, even if you decided to look something up related to what the teacher is saying, you’d lose track of what they were saying while looking it up.


















  • Yep, but who’s going to give them a better option? Western citizens would have to vote for governments that don’t consider exploitation a “necessary evil” and for politicians that want enforcement of a fair trade supply chain. A prosperous Africa would mean more legal and most importantly highly skilled immigration.

    But western citizens aren’t willing to accept higher prices for goods as a result, so they don’t vote that way. Instead it’s easier to consume indiscriminately and whine when the people living in squalor dare look for a better life abroad.
