    You can take it literally at face value. They want to know about you, so they asked. The idea that an interviewer would conclude that “renovated my house” is a wrong answer that get you blacklisted, is something that person seems to have just decided for themselves.

    Too many people think of interviews like they’re exams, where there’s a set pass mark. There isn’t. There’s just, would I rather spend the next few years working with person A or person B, let’s ask them some questions to find out.

    There isn’t a single question you can possibly ask in an interview that doesn’t have a million threads like this complaining about it and assuming the worst about its intentions or what the interviewer will conclude from its answer.

    The general rule seems to be that any kind of question that you might do badly on, is a bad question.

    That’s some weaselly circular argument you’re engaging in there.

    Your use of the word “just” implies that having people called “citizens” is inherently and self-evidently better than having people called “inhabitants”; which you’re then plugging into a proof-by-definition to paper over the fact that you haven’t actually made any kind of case for why it’s better.

    Historically speaking passports and border controls have been the exception, not the rule. The reason you can’t conceive of it possibly working is you’ve only ever lived in a world where you need a passport to go somewhere.

    The scenario of 100 million people suddenly arriving is FUD. Apart from not being likely even on purely logistical grounds, the questions you’re asking are ones that are eminently answerable: Where do they live? In houses that they build. Where would their children go to school? At schools that they build and staff. It’s from the same fearmongering stable as “theytookerrrjaawwwbs”.
