At one point, Trump was proposing an H1-B process that would prioritize the highest-paid H1-B positions. That would support businesses' claims that they "need H1-Bs in order to get skilled workers". If the workers are needed that badly, then pay them well.
Conversely, if businesses are just trying to find cheap labor with H1-Bs, then those cheap H1-Bs go to the bottom of the pile, never to see the light of day. Mathematically, this is how an H1-B skilled-labor process ought to work, if it is real.
"...Executive Order allowing spouses of H1-Bs to work in America signed in 2015."
Given that the U.S. has H1-B workers, that's actually an allowance that I support. I'd rather that the U.S. limited the number of fundamental H1-Bs in the first place. The thing with the spouses is just compassionate noise, IMO.

"...in the end he will side with big business because he's one of them. Always was."
Yes, I think that's the most likely final outcome.
Sure "you" can. I used to work at a company that offshored a portion of its tech work to India. On average, the projects in India had a burn-rate of 2/5 (two fifths) of the U.S. burn rate.
The schedule? Five halves (5/2) or *worse* of the duration of a similar U.S. schedule. It was a total washout, or worse, to send the work offshore.
YMMV, and all, but the idea that a caste system causes a winning situation is false.
They have found a way to take a known sample of one thing (a tumor), and search specifically for that one thing, with notable success. "Notable success" being defined as low-ish probabilities of false-positives and misses.
What you are describing seems to be much, much harder, specifically searching for "all other things". I would expect the rate of false-positives and misses to be very much larger. Also, the idea sounds tantamount to the common "white-blood-cell count" that is regularly done with blood tests.
"...for many people that live in latitudes where aurora are common they're just a fact of life and not all that much more notable than the moon in the night sky..."
I live in the southern U.S., and have never seen one of them in-person. That's kind of mind-blowing.
If you have the money for this, and don't like traffic, and don't give a damn about the energy, then you could buy one of these and possibly get around more quickly than in a car, spilling your morning coffee on the poor undeserving masses that are stuck in traffic below you. (Yes, I know they claim it is for 'over water', but the imagery is funny.)
At least, you could do that until enough people own these 'flying cars' to create new kinds of 'air traffic jams' and weird parking problems.
While she was working with Carlos Santana, Michelle Branch asked the veteran musician for advice. He said two things. First, pay your agent a salary, not a percentage. Second, stay out of helicopters.
Yeah, that seemed pretty infeasible to me, too. However, I finally found a reference about this Nestle research. (http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_Spaceflight/Space_for_dessert)
Two things emerge:
1. The research was *not* actually on the ISS. It was on a research airplane. So, it's a little less difficult than I thought it was.
2. The article implies -- but does not explain exactly how -- Nestle was intending to benefit in the production of Earthbound foamy products, by studying them in microgravity.
In conclusion, it's not as weird as it seemed from reading TFA. Kinda weird, though. Sounds almost like Nestle food scientists managed to boondoggle a ride on the "vomit comet" airplane.
This benefit makes me sad: "Nestle turned to zero gravity -- or what scientists refer to as microgravity -- to perfect the foam in its chocolate mousse and coffee"
Really? I never considered "imperfect food foam" to be a pressing problem. This seems both arrogant and wasteful.
1. civil-society organizations and attention-seeking scholars
2. news organizations without sufficient resources to "dig deep"
Combine those two, and you get "attention-seeking news organizations".
"If it bleeds, it leads." The news organizations are always attention-seeking, and simplified, salacious news gets the most attention, even if it is incorrect.
I was totally distracted from the topic by the name of the outplacement firm "Challenger, Gray & Christmas". As in (shuttle) Challenger, (Fifty Shades of) Gray, and (Merry) Christmas.
It's like being a super-villain named Casanova Frankenstein.
When the logistics of the planet do not support the high quantity of people, then you have an overpopulation problem AND a whole bunch of logistics problems. The latter could be largely solved by having fewer people.
This is the first I have heard of the "Uber's Vehicle Solutions Program". I guess they were inspired by "GMAC Financing", the lucrative money-lending division of GM.
So far, they are "not a taxi company". Now I guess they are "not a bank". What's next, "not an arms dealer"?

IANAD, by the way.

Yes, but remember 'traffic'.

Well, at least none of those idiots would ever be able to get into government. Amirite?
Yes.
Make. Fewer. New. People.
A friend of mine (who is not an engineer) says "engineers spoil everything".

But there will be so much aiming. So much.
What was the part after "255"?
Ashamed of nothing. Obama did not get a pass from the left then, either. Nice strawman, though.
Maybe Lord Kinbote would rescue him.
