Feminists actually respect men more than pick me tradwives' do. Tradwives reduce you to a paycheck and a bodyguard. They want a tool, not a partner. Feminists demand more from you because they know you're capable of more. They want emotional intelligence, shared responsibilities, and an authentic human being, not a 'provider' robot. Stop confusing 'submissiveness' with respect. Feminism is actually the one wanting to share the weight of the world with you.
Let that sink in.
If you hear anything about me that’s isn’t about me loving my baby girl, school, career, family or generally enjoying life, it’s a lie!

@inemesitaffia@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 Important: the concept EAP (economically active population) considers that businesses must fairly reflect the demographic representation of the country.
The country has 8% white people, 3% Indian, 9% Colored so we welcome & support to see white, Indian, Colored installers too
@missraycooper@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 I assure you that white people won't be coming into your black neighborhood to install satellite dishes. SpaceX also only buys connectivity from local companies in Africa. (You can also start a business doing that)
He's not the one talking about regulatory issues on the ground.
@missraycooper@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 (I mean an install business with or without official partnership)
Personally I think he's deeply harming his cause.
And I want to show you something.
@inemesitaffia@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 I work for the African giant & a decade in telco
1) I hear u if EEIP is excl. for telco licenses
On ur partnership point= BEE policy attributes according to direct revenue
If revenue is shared = why should Starlink be excluded from compliance with its portion of revenue share?
@missraycooper@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 I'm very sure MTN is compliant.
I want you to do a small thought experiment. MTN decides to sell the service as a white-labeled product like others do with Eutelsat and Telstra/BT does with Starlink.
You wouldn't argue MTN isn't compliant. It's the same thing here.
@inemesitaffia@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 I hear u.
But allowing int’l companies to extract max then throw crumbs back, is why Africa remains underdeveloped
The SA policy threshold guidance is atleast 5% of NPAT procured locally.
95% can be spent wherever.
It’s part of the BEE compliance he’s not saying out loud
@missraycooper@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 Who exactly do you think will handle the rural schools installation?
White people from the US? Netherlands? Ireland? South Africa?
It's the same people that do your installs for their partners today. I can bet the ones you see are black and local.
@inemesitaffia@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 1) I don’t mean Can’t
2) SpaceX has ~ 10 employees in AFRICA. I personally know the 1st employee. Was 1 for a WHILE
3) skills - is it 6% of payroll?
4) ESD- do they spend 3-5% of Net profit after tax on those local installations?
If no to any= underdeveloping, over extracting
@missraycooper@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 >can be subbed with EEIP
You mean can't.
>not just black names
SpaceX always hires locals for management.
>Skills development
SpaceX does this via local partners who handle all the installation, additionally, it rarely bids on contracts itself.
>ESD
Same as above
@inemesitaffia@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 The BEE policy has 5 pillars:
Ownership (can be subbed with EEIP),
Management control (to ensure u have inclusive C-suite level, not just black names on paper)
CSI
Skills development
ESD = procurement from local and also startups in the sector so u develop local suppliers.
@inemesitaffia@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 Back to ur point, the companies partner yes - but comply with local laws
They employ thousands, build infrastructure that stays, pay tax, support local business & invest in the developmnt of countries they operate - not only extract profits.
Why won’t Elon make that commitment?
@missraycooper@Uncle_Thaps@Tsogang3 >pay local taxes, hire South African workers and procure to support local businesses
These aren't the issues at dispute since South African companies like MTN, Vodacom, Seacom, Internet Solutions are global Starlink partners.
It's an ownership dispute. Not a local content one.
