Re: the working poor in the US stand up
If you've got skills it's easier. But then you could freelance from home? My mate gets a bit of business locally but 90% of his money comes through his website.
Do you need a visa to go to the UK from SA though?

The major reason for my move to the UK is because I used to work on megayachts in France, and it's a hell of alot cheaper getting from England to France than from South Africa to France... that costs about 1500 Euro, South Africans can only get 3 month visa's for France, so it'll be much cheaper to go back to England every 3 months to reapply for the French visa.

Makes sense. Ancestral visa though, can you pass that shit on to your kids?DrSpliff wrote:I have an ancestral UK visa.test recordings wrote:If you've got skills it's easier.

Yeah you can. My grandfather is English, so my dad has full citizenship and I get an ancestral visa. After 5 years of living in England I'll gain full citizenship.

Re: the working poor in the US stand up
Damn, I should have an ancestral visa for Norway, the Netherlands and England at the very least.

Re: the working poor in the US stand up
I really don't get this point and yet people make it all the time. If I start up a business and invest my own resources to make it grow, I don't understand how the workers I hired (who have not risked or invested a single penny) somehow have an intrinsic right to make more money. I don't understand how reaping the rewards of my risk/investment all of a sudden makes me a terrible person as a business owner.collige wrote: Why do you think it's acceptable for an employer to pay a full time worker so little that they can't afford to support themselves, especially when they're turning a huge profit?

Re: the working poor in the US stand up
Not paying your workers enough to live off is a no no though, that's what the problem is. Also those workers give YOU money so I wouldn't get too cocky about believing the boss deserves all the credit

Never start a business that you cant run by yourself if you can't wrap your head around that simple idea.bigfootspartan wrote:I really don't get this point and yet people make it all the time.
