Right, like the fact that congress are pussies.. that they wouldn't pay for doing the transfer of prisoners to the super max prisons.. even the democrats. It was like they were all super villains not a bunch of terrorists that have been waterboarded all over the place and probably can't even think straight anymore.
Well, they will simply blame the democrats and probably keep voting republicans because their adherence is tribal in nature. Thanks to a constant diet of talk radio, internet, facebook, and whatever else it is very difficult for to change something until it is particularly traumatic change that effects personally in a very painfully and there is no way to escape that it was anything other than a Republican. Once you go on that road, then you actively can think critically. Sadly, Republicans have been engaging in this kind of crap since the 80s. They are the party of no ideas... once they've implemented everything I'm not sure where they will go next.. and that is indeed scary.
Great.. so I lose my job because a bunch of assholes who want their coal mines back because that is what their parents did and so forth, and they still don't get that. God help us all.
We can also stop giving stop giving tax cuts without restrictions to corporations who shift jobs overseas. If they want a tax cut, they need to invest here.
We are talking about people who believe crime is rampant despite a 60 year low. Seems like all that lead poisoning is still out there killing brain cells.
This is so righteous. Thanks for this. The only way we can argue with people like this is with extensive knowledge like this. That said, you can't argue with emotional people. If they insist on making their own reality, only a sharp decline in their living will wake them up. Of course, clever politicians will continue to try to redirect their anger somewhere else by using wedge issues. It's what happens in the middle east "don't look at me, look at those poor palestinians! [robs treasury].
I would like to see a phase out of the H1B, provided that we see more schools having STEM curriculum and we are adding more tech workers to the economy here.
I hate to tell ya buddy, but it was always that way. Why do you think there are entire neighborhoods of ethnics in places like Chicago and New York? Every immigrant is going to want to be in a place where they can be around their home comforts. You think Americans don't want to also go into a place where there are other like them if they are in Europe? It takes two generations before the assimilation really happens.
Please. Let's take a look at things, shall we? We don't have enough people with tech backgrounds, so they bring in H1B's (or so the market says). On the other hand, we now have a Republican congress that want to get rid of or defund bastions like the U.S. Department of Education, so which is it? Are you going to get kids to learn tech or not? Defunding education and then getting rid of H1Bs means that nobody gets those jobs. I guess for someone like me who needs a tech job, that might be a good thing. But that really that just starts fucking with the economy. But then again, we all know that there hasn't been a Republican in recent memory that has actually had a good economy or hasn't spent public dollars like a drunken wastrel.
People seem to endorse me for things and they have no background in it. If you are going to endorse me for a skill, you should have that skill set in your linkedin profile. Your endorsement becomes more valuable when the people who endorse you also rise in the esteem of others. Ultimately, there needs to be a metric on skills by some unaffiliated power or weighting system.. (preferably, not stuff like certification training)
In fact, relatively boring I would say. The press is really disappointed and I know is looking for another batch in hopes for something. They think they smell a scandal that hey can use to sell newspaper and get ad money. That's generally the whole point of the exercise.
Perhaps we should just not pay Ambassadors any money if that is your concern. It annoys me that it always comes down to money like somehow something is being taken away from you. *eye roll*
Well, they are a business. And the money goes back into their business as well as fixing things upstream. They aren't stealing from you and then enriching their pockets like it was some kind of scam.
And yes, they do want you to pay for it... so it isn't being disingenuous. There are a lot of users in the FOSS world who believe they are entitled to other people's hard labor even though they are giving away the source code that they get the application or operating system for free. That is purely a labor of love. They are a business and they are trying to make money it would be self-defeating to give the choice of not paying anything from that perspective.
I also plan on evolving this eco-system in a similar direction - moving towards being able to make money off of applications, that is the only way we can grow the Linux market today.

They'll blame the democrats, because the party of personal responsibility likes to make other people responsible.

The boomers are the largest age group at the moment, the rest of the generations are not nearly as large.
Well, I'm sure the elderly will die off once the healthcare stuff comes in. They'll lose their most reliable voting bloc.

You mean the rich chinese who bought up all the houses in Vancouver, BC and they all sit there empty?
I want to hug you right now.
You'll never get a straight answer out of him.

Never mind, re-tweeting tweets from avowed racists or making hiring decisions that include far right wingers who clearly have a racist agenda.
Ah yes, the false equivalence argument. Both sides are corrupt equally at all times regardless of facts.
