Why is the IEC exploring e-voting — and will it be implemented in SA? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, last election was a disaster. We queued for 3.5 hours before voting. Left at 19:00 and the queue was even longer than when we started.

I sincerely hope this never gets off the ground. I think Tom Scott said it best.

Extreme poverty dropped from 44% of the global population in 1981 to just 9% in 2019. in c/[email protected]

They actually did adjust for inflation.

We study poverty in the now-conventional sense of living on less than $2.15 per day in 2017 PPP dollars (World Bank, 2023), using both consumption- and income-based measures as available.

1 These rates are based on the $2.15 2017 PPP poverty line (Chen and Ravallion, 2010; World Bank, 2023). See https://pip.worldbank.org/

Trump’s Afrikaner refugees could be in for a long wait — if previous US policies apply (www.dailymaverick.co.za)

Looks like it's chaos over there in the US of A:

The order empowers Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to create a plan that will facilitate the resettlement of Afrikaners through the United States Refugee Admissions Program (Usrap) to be submitted to Trump and the Homeland Security Advisor. No plan has been drawn up thus far.

The lack of a plan may or may not have something to do with the fact that on 20 January, the US president signed an executive order suspending Usrap, the exact vehicle that would allow for the settlement of the “Afrikaner refugees” and effectively instituting an indefinite ban of refugees.
