When I first started my career it was pretty standard for people to get one or two paid courses a year. They would ask you where you wanted to go and put you in a course if that was what was required. Now my company doesn't pay for courses at all.
Corporations set the price of their products, not the other way around. Also, they could charge lower prices for their products if they weren't guaranteeing higher returns to shareholders year over year. At some point the whole public trading system is not sustainable.
Gun control is an apples to oranges comparison. No one *needs* a gun in the US unless you buy into the fiction that they protect more people than they kill. For the most part it is a hobby. If comic book collecting was killing people, I would advise people not to collect comic books just the same.
If driving was really as risky as automated car people want you to believe it is, no one would want to drive. The fact is people do choose to drive, therefore finding the risk acceptable.
All I'm saying is that I will believe it when I see it. It is too difficult to read between the lines. There are a great many better solutions right here on Slashdot that seem quite obvious so it begs the question why they are not keeping it simple. Also, I may be having an easier time believing if they showed any interest in prosecuting people who are getting rid of domestic workers and using an H-1B whether they are from a consulting company or not. To me that seems such a glaring hold against the very wording of the policy that is being ignored. I will believe it when I see it.
Back when you had salaries based on a local job market with local cost of living, not a global job market with a local cost of living. If we want to bring cost of living down in line with other countries where these workers come from then I'm fine with the global economy. But the problem is, right now you are asking people in very specific industry markets to compete globally but they can't just step out to India and pay less than $10K US for a brand new car like you can there.
Just be prepared to measure Trump by the effect that he produces, not just based on 'doing something'. If he does "something" but it doesn't even end domestic workers being let go in favor of foreign then he may as well not have done anything at all.
Technically it is the job of the consumer to buy the best product for the price, just as it is the job of a corporation to make the most money. The problem is that this amounts to a race to the bottom every time unless the government steps in and moderates the balance between the two. When governments are favoring business over citizens is it a big problem for overall quality of life.
There is no 'policy' until something is actually done that is effective. Right now all it is Trump saying something to make working voters feel better. Does he believe in doing something swift and concise to bring an end to all the issues? This isn't it,. If companies can't find enough workers, then the market dictates they should pay more for workers. When Trump is willing to set minimum wage for H-1Bs in line with a step up in pay to try to participate in the market, then he has demonstrated this is his policy.
The trick about being a politician is to look like you put something in place but make it complicated enough so that when people work around it you can claim ignorance. The minimum wage idea is just far too simple and effective for that to work.
The thing I see is that when companies are open to training, they generally expect a person to keep up their current job AND train. The problem is that people in their 40's more frequently have families and companies are not interested in giving them time purely for training. Can a person train in their 40's? Of course. Are they willing to do it on their own time? Far less likely. Is it fair that employees are expected to do it on their own time? No way.
He has spent way more money going to his vacation resort every weekend then Obama did by this time in his presidency. Also, Trump refuses to use Camp David which is set up for the president, so the local government needs to foot the bill for the local police service to do crowd control and also the local airport needs to shut down for security. It is running into 30 million plus already.
I have seen so much lip service from politicians on this, and with Trump being the least reliable of them all, I will rejoice when I actually see something done that makes a difference.
You're totally missing how these regulations also protect people who purchase homes, but ok continue to look at the side that gives you something to complain about.
People who are in for the weekend don't give a shit about the neighbors. How many times could the police possibly visit in one weekend? Not enough for them to get past warnings. If a person is there for a month then they may have a wild party on the last weekend but they won't want to have a full month of having the police called on them so at least the neighbors get most of that month in peace.
What are you talking about? If brakes fail on a car that's a serious issue worthy of a recall of some sort. I don't except that the brakes on my vehicles may fail, I wouldn't put my family in them then.

This is why a headphone jack is important. Analog connections are better for users.
If it were that easy then they wouldn't need H-1Bs so badly. They would just go to where they are hiring people from.

You realize that is only 0.015 percent of drivers in the US right? Many years more people die of the common flu.

I'm fine with that. I have no problem finding jobs at half of what I make.

Domestic models don't like their pussies grabbed.

People never WANT the police to show up, yet they get carried away anyhow. Far more likely if they are on vacation.
If my family owned hotels I wouldn't be sympathizing so much with people who live in humble residential neighborhoods.

But they only drive in an area that is closely monitored. And there are still people in them. So it's not automated driving yet.
but is limited to 35mph
I strongly suspect this is how they are getting any kind of resemblance to safety, by artificially slowing everything down.
