Because Americans go to Mexico to spend money on a cheap place and Mexicans come to work in the US for cheap labor. Both support Mexico having a low quality of life compared to America.
Mexico does not have the largest tourism in the world. There is no perhaps.
Because it doesn't happen.
That's nobody's definition of competent.
All the more reason the hard power of cash draws them here.
Whether it is legitimate construction or menial labor, they came to America to get paid more than they would at home.
Those 2 are unrelated.
It's because Canada and America have more similar developed economies while Mexico is a complement being a developing country selling to developed countries. But demographics is hard power too.
It's called CHEAP vacation spot with nice weather and beaches.
This is true; America is getting more f-ed up, so moving to Mexico to retire is a good cheap option to stretch your money.
Mexican population growing means more production, more things to sell and American higher GDP per capita means they can afford cheap Mexican exports. It's all right there.
No, because the US has built walls and armed guards to keep Mexicans out.
Read it. It's stupid and wrong as always.
Actually, most of them just do hard labor because you need education to get a comfortable office job.
Yeah, Koreans/Japanese want comfortable 9-5 jobs that pay high and then buy big houses in America, which Japan and Korea don't offer.
Ok, "if"... the future is off topic and it takes a lot mre than software developers to make a developed country.
Figure 3? It shows migrant caravans consisting of 600K Mexicans and 1M others.
Furthermore, there's this right from the horse's mouth of why they want to come to America. It's all the reasons I outlined, none of your imaginary reasons:
Survey: “Why did you leave your home?”
- economic reasons 62%
- fear of violence 25%
- to escape illegal activity 4%
- lack of education 2%
He's South-African. He doesn't care what he does to Silicon Valley.
You have said more stupid things here in the last 5 days than any other member in the 10 years I was here. Elon Musk was, at one point, the world's richest man and he's self-made based on technology. You can see how funny it is to me that you think he's stupid, right?
You can say it again and again but I always prove you wrong.
What power did it get them? What, other than money from the event, did Qatar gain with this "soft power?" Nothing. Whatever they could do before they can still do now, and whatever they couldn't before, they still can't now. "Soft power" is useless.
Irrelevent
That has nothing to do with soft power but the hard financial power to afford the planes they want.
I'm clueless because your answer is nonsense. I asked what Qatar can do that Kuwait cannot. Your answer is that people travel to the Middle-East and they have European footballers. LOLOL It's nonsense.
They didn't feel that way in WWII. Then they got beaten into a pacifist by hard power.
That's why they couldn't refuse Nordstream and the US had to order a terrorist strike on it to get Germans off? And Germany, of course, wanted to destroy its own industry so it can just buy things from Asia without the ability to make anything, right? You spin so hard you should start a powerdrill company, put Black and Decker out of business LOL
So either I have to provide hard evidence that the CIA rigged German politics or we should just accept your random imagination that German soft power is controlling the West??? Sorry, evidence and logic don't work like that.
Defensive
Supply and demand; if they got a better offer, they're most likely gone.
I'm mostly talking about engineers who work for their own country because they want to support their own people. This is a natural instinct, not soft power.
Ideology itself is soft power and it's easy; anybody can come up with an agreeable ideology. But the ability to project that ideology, to show the world its results and why it should be followed, is completely dependent on hard power. That's what sets apart fringe ideologies and the ones that dominate the world. It's all hard power.
"There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Prolonged battle, even if it finally exhausts the enemy, is not a smart way to fight. A war of attrition is simply expensive and its costs will be felt long after the fighting has finished."
- Sun Tzu
This is stupid and nonsense.
