I agree... this is not right. I am american so I don't have a problem obviously, however I work with many good programmers from India who are feeling very wronged by this situation. And I think rightly so.
These are competent professionals, who have nice families and mouths to feed. It's a crime that they are treated like this. This type of arrangement was supposed to be abolished long ago. But here it is again in the 21st century.
I say get rid of these rules and allow free market to determine who gets paid what and all are allowed to work where they are wanted most. If workers come to this country and they are not up to the level of others, they will be paid less or lose their jobs anyway, but it'll be free market reasons... not rules giving power over them to keep them in low wages to get their green card.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this... but when they switch employers... the clock resets on their wait for a green card. Disgraceful!
One of the benefits of cars is that they seldom get picked up by a sudden gust, flipped over, and slammed into the ground during takeoff, killing the pilot and passenger. Mostly because they don't have a takeoff phase.
yeah... that also doesn't happen to planes very often either... only idiots take off in that kind of weather.
I think he is "focused here".... I had the same idea and was coming to post it...
The embryos don't (and probably shouldn't) come from the adult gene pools travelling in the ship. Could maybe get by with 1000 sets of mates in the ship who are well versed in biochemisty, and 200,000 embryos from families wanting potentially send their genes to a new world, but don't want to leave earth themselves.
It's like the only way Noah could have actually collected all the earth's species onto one ship... but I doubt they had any clue about biochemistry then. At least Bill Cosby didn't mention it.
Tesla selling their own product does not make them a monopoly... if they were trying to be the only electric car company available to the public, that may be considered monopolistic, but still... there is plenty of competition in the EV market.
The state is good example of money talks... I hope Google fights this hard!
Maybe the one democrat in the state senate can help.... doubt it. (I didn't fact check that, but in the past there have been times when there was only one)
not a RDBMS... Microsofties refer to MS Sql Server as "SQL"...
Has always bugged me. My estimation of a person's SQL Skills gets taken down a notch when I hear them refer to SQL and I realize they mean SQLServer.. Or as some of refer to it... Fecal Server
I commute to work by bike many days of the year. My average speed is almost the same as a car in traffic. On some days it's faster. Not because I'm breaking any traffic laws, it's just that cars tend to hurry up to the next stop light and wait. I don't, I keep pedaling while they are stopped. My speed doesn't come down during my ride much. Granted this is only on roads where the speed limit is 25 mph, but it's the same avg speed the cars are going on that road.
Cars are very inefficient as a mode of transport. Still necessary for certain situations, but if you have the ability and freedom to ride your bike to work, it makes for a nice life (fitness, peace of mind, lower fuel bills).
+1.... get the hell out of there... nothing is worth risking your life and the lives of the crew that would need to be sent to save you when you can't get out.

Not a threat of violence at all... I should have said "Spot on ... ".

Geology is a form of science. Who says the group being given the money are not made up of at least some geologists.

good job picking a mate with financial sense .... could she loan me a few bucks to pay my taxes?
who says he could afford it? he didn't have a choice but to defend himself.
was thinking the same the ... what a waste ... plus by making a nickle for 11.2 cents ... you've destroyed a penny AND a nickle!!
Makes you wonder what the production cost is for all the other coins and paper denominations. Maybe we need to rethink all of them.
agreed ... get rid of both the Penny & the Nickel ...
