I have heard of Africans who got jobs with Chinese companies. Doubt it’ll ever happen in Guatemala with our lack of tech talent lol

I suspect China will be courting your country too soon enough. Even if it won't be offshore work they're investing in infrastructure all over the planet. I love to see it.

The west, honestly, is shitting BRICS right now. The US dollar is no longer the uhh, idk what the word is, you know "lingua franca of finance" for the whole globe. New systems are emerging to replace everything being pegged to the US dollar and the price of oil. Crypto currency, funnily enough, is likely to have a big part to play in neutering the ability of the failing empire to do any effective sanctions very very soon, but also there's stuff to do with distributed financial resiliency based on traditional local currencies. I don't understand it but I think QAnon or Trillbillies or Buntavista did a very recent podcast episode on this.

World's changing, comrades. Really fast. It's going to be a wild couple of decades to come.

Global reserve currency

Be the change you want to see in the world! I don’t think anyone would stereotype Africa as a hub of tech talent either

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
