I hope EU stop funding them too, so they'll have another reason to leave this mess.

I just received a note from Lee that someone had pointed him to this post and they're closing my Canva account - "You are no longer welcome as a Canva contributor"

So anyone who wants to stay with Canva would do well to take this warning shot and remember to keep your mouth closed in public places about them or their actions.

I seem somehow to have this affect on agencies :)

Hi Jo Ann, it would probably be a better idea to try to sort things out with an agency before posting about an issue on public forum - give them a chance to explain or fix issues. Agencies do care about their public image and most will work with you to resolve things. I actually had a very pleasant experience dealing with Canva - they are *the good guys* in my book:) Some agencies take forever to respond to inquiries and it takes a lot of patience to work on resolving them, but in the end it's worth it (for example, I just got a resolution of a problem with one of the sites and it took 3 months - however, the issue is resolved so there is no need to go public about it).


shame, elena, deep shame...on you...

..these people that  try to migrate to capitalist countries - like Syrians today - are forced by pure capitalism, war is one of the main tools of capitalism, everything is much more linked than it looks on the surface...

...we will have revolutions for sure - what kind and what will be the next "solution" - I don t know...

That is nonsense - capitalism has nothing to do with wars.  Certainly some capitalists have benefitted greatly from wars but most would say that war is bad for business and therefore against their self interest (getting back to the theme Zero Talent likes to bring up).

In Syria the problems are caused by the dictator Assad and ISIS.  Do you think ISIS is setting up a capitalist society?  Certainly not!

Religion is the biggest cause of wars, not capitalism.  If we could get rid of religion then we could reduce differences between societies and the cause for many wars would go away immediately.  Unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon.

 ...unbelievably  naive - war in Syria has been caused by USofA,............. same in Ukraine, Libya, Iraq, Vietnam...etc. etc.

..today's capitalist world is a world without a shred of humanity - we will have in the future a lot of violence... and revolutions...

I wouldn't go quite that far - there are still many people trying to make a positive difference and capitalist economies are the best we have.  Thousands of people are dying every year trying to migrate to capitalist countries where they will have a chance at improving their lives.

... there is a big difference between self interest and greed - greed is a sickness, and self interest is a normal thing - when the whole world becomes your self interest, and nothing else - then you become greedy, it is not enough to have 10.000.000 $ you have to have 10000000000000000000000000000...$ - not because you need it - but because you are ... sick...

... yes - but you Portuguese and Greeks are lazy, and Germans are working a lot, these racist theories we read in these pages many times, therefore the Latin Europe should be separated from the Anglo Saxon Europe - immediately...


Average annual hours actually worked
Portugal: 1.852
Germany: 1.363

Source: https://data.oecd.org/emp/hours-worked.htm

Level of GDP per capita and productivity
Portugal: $35 usd
Germany: $62 usd

Source: http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=PDB_LV

Looking at these stats, most people will immediately say: Look! Those Portuguese workers are nothing but a bunch of lazy, ineffective and incompetent workers!

And that is what the central Europe politicians and media want people to think, because that's the immediate reading from those numbers. A Portuguese worker is producing almost half of the wealth a German one does, while working more hours!

What the politicians and media rarely say is that the Productivity level is not linked to the efficiency and commitment of the worker, BUT to the wealth he produces based on the product he works on.

Saying that, if you got a German working 8 hours on a high-end product like a Mercedes, he will always be more "productive" than a Portuguese seamstress sewing t-shirts even if she worked 24 hours a day with the same commitment and efficiency of the German!

In Portugal, these "Productivity" numbers have been used for years now to bash the Portuguese and lead us into an almost new type of slavery, by destroying our moral and protest ability and justifying the increase of the numbers of hours and all attacks on workers rights.


great post - the truth is on our side - we will win -

If you visit both countries you'll probably be quite shocked to discover how cheap it is in Germany and also how expensive it can be in France.

actually it's even more shocking because some food items in germany are cheaper than anywhere else in europe ! especially in discount supermarkets like ALDI o LIDL with just 30-40 euro you can fill an entire trolley with food and drinks and it's not necessarily junk food.

In Portugal, with 30/40 you just fill a bag of basic groceries even on LIDL and similar discount supermarkets. To fill a trolley, expect to spend at least 150 of basic white brand products. And we pay this with the small salaries we have.

Why do the few  people here defending the Greeks constantly attack the person who doesn't agree with them,  instead of the comment. I've seen Cobalt talk more sense than anyone else in the last 3 pages.

... I don t attack person - I attack opinion -

... at least,unlike you,  - cobalt has some opinion...
