Oooh I get modded off topic for trying to be satirical of the typical liberal histrionic response yet when I do it I got modded Offtopic but liberals get modded Insightful. I thought this was supposed to be News for Nerds not Liberal Propaganda?
Of course a "Trade Union" would say this. A trade union is the opposite of a labor union, for example the US Chamber of Commerce. Guaranteed Universal income means people are less compelled to find as much labor opportunity which is a direct conflict of interest with a trade union.
IF there is a lack of talent, why is that? Could it be because wages are too low to attract people into that field? So the cure is to raise wages, not to lower them even further by bringing in more foreign workers. Republicans and neo-liberal Democrats pretend to believe in the free market... in everything except labor. A free market in labor means that salaries rise until the needed workers are attracted.
Let me tell you logically why the argument doesn't hold up. India has 4x our population. They are supposedly much more educated than Americans thus we need their H-1B visas to fuel our tech sector due to the so-called shortage of equivalent American workers. One would think if India is so much more advanced in the STEM field that because they have 4x the amount of people their tech sector ought to be booming and much more advanced thus compelling Americans and other countries to do the equivalent of the H-1B visa to go work there for better opportunities. Except... that's not happening. Why?
Let the H1-Bs change companies easily. Those who suck will stay low wage and not be a problem for me. Those who are good can easily find a job that pays them what they're worth.
In case you didn't know H-1B is a temporary work visa meaning they come here, make our money then leave and take it back to their own country. How does that help America?
And by the way liberals, how is this for a dose of reality? Neil Gorsuch has been nominated Supreme Court Justice. Obama's pick got blocked. There will be a 5-4 majority in the Supreme Court. I anticipate a new lake to appear full of all your tears from all you're whining and crying. There's reality for you. Enjoy that burn.
You have data for "cheaper" but if worker A works 40 hours for $140k and worker B works 80 hours a week for $140k, worker B is making a significantly lower than average hourly wage.
All of which is hypothetical based only on your ideas. I assert this is not reality.
Wrong. I have direct experience in the field and this is a systemic issue in this field. Do you work in this field? In fact, there is evidence:
Do your own research jack-ass if you want to know what reality is composed of. Or live in your little liberal fantasy world. I don't really care. You people are up to your eyeballs in debt and couldn't get yourself off of the tax teat and take care of yourself if your life depended on it. You're weak. Prove that wrong. That's what I thought.
You snowflakes are all about being offended by everyone but then you turn and bully everyone else with your shit.
For 2016 Apple has applied for 4639 H1B and 2096 green cards for a total of roughly 6700 workers in the use. Apple employs roughly 66,000 workers in the US. So 10% of their workforce. The average salary of H1B is $140K and green cards is $150K. So I don't think "cheaper" applies. The salary does not include costs associated with the H1B or green card programs. Like many companies, Apple has immigration lawyers working on these cases for their employees.
You have data for "cheaper" but if worker A works 40 hours for $140k and worker B works 80 hours a week for $140k, worker B is making a significantly lower than average hourly wage. You also didn't address the issue where there are Americans lined up with similar credentials to do the same job yet the jobs go to the H-1B visa. The H-1B visa program was enacted in 1990 due to a tech worker shortage that no longer exists (and may have never existed). It should be repealed. When the current H-1B visas expire in 3 years or less, hire Americans.
You're just playing the liberal political spin game for liberal principles, nothing more, nothing less. California should be annexed to be its own country. Good luck paying for all your entitlement programs without leeching off everyone else!
Correct Mr. Cook "Generally society hasn't moved as fast as technology has". Some of us are still engaged in practices like keeping corporate cash holdings in off shore tax shelters and claiming that there is a tech worker shortage when in reality it's just greed driving corporate profits in the form of hiring cheaper H-1B visas that are willing to put up with unreasonable working conditions so they can make more money. Some things never change.
People who want to visit the United States could be asked to hand over their social-media passwords to officials as part of enhanced security checks, the country's top domestic security chief said.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly told Congress on Tuesday the measure was one of several being considered to vet refugees and visa applicants from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Next up on the hit series "'Murica: Hell yeah!", the orange prez makes a scandalous law - all students are to get daily cavity searches.
While glove manufacturer stock prices are soaring, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly tells worried students "If you don't want your rectum searched for contraband, just stay at home.
God-damn the news are getting entertaining.
Again, this rule is being applied to NON-US citizens. This does not apply to American citizens. You're full of shit.
USA doesn't want tourists visiting the country
or business people doing trade deals
I'm sure the tourists from the Middle East are big spenders in the United States. Perhaps the sheiks running the OPEC oil cartel spend money as tourists? I'm sure they go to Disney World and east ginormous hamburgers. [/sarcasm]
If this behavior is permitted, then the social media sites need to start implementing read-only passwords for account. It is one thing to allow the US government to see everything n your account, and all your friend's accounts. It is an entirely different thing to allow the US government to act on your behalf with your account.
WRONG - the current implementation works for US Citizens. This other workflow is for NON-US citizens. US Citizen rights != Non-US Citizen rights.
Most social networks (like Facebook) expressly forbid sharing passwords or allowing others to use your account. Because that's the policy it becomes a Felony according to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). The United States Court of Appeals has affirmed sharing accounts contrary to the TOS is a violation of the CFAA and there are people in PRISON as we speak for doing just that.
I would contend that you cannot be compelled to commit a felony by a agent of the United States. If DHS wants this power they need to have the CFAA amended to grant them an exemption.
None of this matters. Non-US citizens do not have the same rights at United States citizens. You folks really need to understand that. About all the rights non-US citizens have in the US is from the Geneva Convention. That's the reality of how the world works. Welcome to Earth. Don't like it? Go to the United Nations and complain.

it has become pretty clear that women by and large simply do not like men, and a majority of them hate men.
This is simply not true. Women hate men who don't know what they're doing in the bedroom and then also have to put up with other shit. Hint: learn how to use your tongue in the right way and you'll find women like you A LOT.
The lack of women in SF ultimately does not matter. A boyfriend who spends all his time with startup colleagues is no boyfriend and husband who works so much is just a glorified back account anyway
The Child Tax Credit that just got nerfed came into existence in the late 90's because of a concern that people weren't having as many children putting children off for careers. There is always time to make money but don't make any kids and that's it, the human race is finished. All for naught.

Too bad for them that India is not a Muslim country
I stand corrected, it's unconstitutional because it's an anti-Hindu executive order! That must be the real motive...

You miss the point. I am from New Zealand but if I travel to the USA I am expected to supply all the same crap.
Actually you're not. Read TFA. It only applies to the 7 muslim countries that we are concerned about harboring terrorists.
People who want to visit the United States could be asked to hand over their social-media passwords to officials as part of enhanced security checks, the country's top domestic security chief said.

Don't broadcast your life on social media. Why would you have any expectation of privacy in that situation?
I would love to see this happen.
Just wait for the entitled Americans to cry to their government reps about how they are being treated like garbage.
Again, this applies only to NON-US citizens. Did you even read TFA?!

Last time I checked there wasn't a travel ban on Canadians.

I simply won't go to the US unless my job forces me to. I certainly won't spend any tourist dollars there until this bullshit stops.
Good. We don't want you here.
That's the bottom line. Do you think American citizens have rights in Iraq? I rest my case. Mod me down liberals, reality still stands.
Except 5318008, naturally...
It's 8675309. Fixed that for you.
