just wait until corporations realize that if your job can be done from kansas city... it can also be done from manila... and a whole new class of gigs just vanish.

the treaty was giving amnesty to about 80% of farc members... and although I agree that this is probably necessary for peace... man... these guys are rapists murderers and drug traffickers... so...

the farc only have around 10000 people in their ranks... that's .02% of the population... that is pretty small...

they only look larger due to their narco-wealth (in fact they are one of the wealthiest terrorist groups in the world) add the colombian government history of just ignoring the pleas of the poor and their remote location... and that's how they get away with this crap.

there will be a new negotiation, both sides are still commited it'd take a while because the government should demand jailtime...

I believe the cease fire will continue tho

it isn't just one man... this went on for a vote and the majority of the people voted against it... sure he probably helped but a lot of us, including myself saw this deal as an insult to the millions of victims of the FARC... Colombia said no to a narconsitution for the second time in my lifetime and for that I am kinda proud.

The FARC IMHO are already defeated and they know it... the government just want to give them a way to save face, however they have no popular support and the country is moving forward without them...

the problem is that when the economy falters or the government fights with itself (look at what's happening in IL) these universities would very much prefer to be self-sufficient. It isn't the only reason of course, but with the anti-intellectualism movement in america growing and the government playing more and more budget games that affect people's livelihoods I don't really blame them.
