I agree it takes lots of work, but most of the wealthiest multi-billionaires got a large helping hand to start because of their family or connections. And they didn't share their money, weren't generous, always pay less & were harder on workers.

Payment amount is a payment clause. It might not be an enumerated clause within the text of a contract, but it's inherently a clause. Ask anyone with legal expertise (or hey, even google) whether the amount is a payment clause and therefore a clause.

The most filthy rich people (1st generation of it) don't get and keep that wealth by being generous and sharing, generally. There are just a handful of (not quite so rich) lovely people who are more kind and generous, we've seen some famous examples recently pass away.

Its ai finding them. Maybe it will settle down, once the new standards are applied more regularly to all, cos I'm sure theres more to come. Maybe cost will prohibit it for smaller projects or unsupported ones and this level is going to continue longer.

So many people didn't spot here or don't know Orphan Black as a show, and it's awesome IMO. Give it a go, everyone who didn't!

Is English your first language? I never mentioned rate. That wasn't one of the things I said was illegal. I didnt say what was illegal about what they did.

"Should have had this war settled a long time ago"... hmmmm.. Is he projecting? The guy who's still fighting Iran, right(?), says that PM should have settled it long ago. You first, Pres.

I have myself personally seen illegal clauses & questions in forms more than once or twice in my time as a contractor. I've had agents call me up and ask illegal things, or require illegal things before signing a contract. I told them as such, reported it, but many wouldn't know.

I never said the rent was obscure. Please don't put words in my mouth. Illegal clauses can easily be blatantly visible. Relies on poor law knowledge sometimes, of marginalised minorities. Its not just small print that can be abusive/illegal/unfair.

Accepting a deal doesn't make it ethical. It might just mean you have no other choice. People forced to work terrible jobs under market salaries cos they can't escape/employer has power over them, are still abused.

I didn't call you racist, "mate". Yes, the poor ones are employed for that. Immigrants always one of first groups attacked by fascists cos it works; don't fall for it. If they got paid the same, had the same ability to hold shitty employers to account, they wouldn't suffer it.

If you think you were called a racist you just admitted to being one, unless there's another reason you don't like immigration, that stands up to reality. The ultra-rich want you to hate poorer immigrants (some of the richest are also immigrants) cos it keeps the heat off them.

Clauses of tenancy agreements that break the law have never been valid. Landlords that try to do things against the law can be called to account. They've always had the upper hand, (usually) owning the asset; the law now has more protections to balance the power.

What is it you don't like about immigrants? Or is it just the non-white, non-Christian, poorer ones you don't like and see as the country's problem? Because I bet you are fine with some immigrants coming here.

You don't know anything about this, do you?

If you'd never fight to keep any of it, if you'd switch anything (home, job, friends) if it got awkward from local or national politics or media messages influenced by rich people or anyone else, that's still a political stance. Believe in family? In marriage? All very political.

"Normality" is what you grew up with or experienced for the last however many years. It's never always been the same. Different people have different normals. Those normals are created by culture and politics. Hence, they're political, & your acceptance/fight to keep any of it.

The ones in power or the followers? There'll still just be more of them wanting the same.

Yes. The other thing I do is copy the text of post I'm commenting on and paste into text entry for new one to reference it.

There are non-muscle workouts you can do too. (I mean reading, learning, understanding others experiences etc. All the stuff patriarchy doesnt want you doing)
