    Non-politicized....are you off your effing rocker?

    1. Published a comparison photo of President Obama and Trump's inaugurations that was completely fake and disproved by the gigapixel image that in fact showed that President Trump's inauguration was packed to the tents at the Washington Memorial.

    2. Claimed that President Trump said soldiers who commit suicide are weak. Never said that. Go to youtube and see the video of what he actually said.

    3. Claimed reading Wikileaks was illegal, except for the media.

    4. Gave the debate questions to Hillary's campaign. Thus their portrayal of a fair debate was fake.

    Seems like a lot of fake to me!

    You're right. Fox tends to report news with a heavy bias. CNN makes shit up.

    Agreed.

    Fox is more biased than CNN, but CNN is actively campaigns and publishes more fake news.

    So would you support Fox News simply re-iterating that The Dail Mail published a report, which is unverified. And then that would constitute REAL news. Cause that's basically what you're saying

  9. Okay, how about this one. on Wikipedia Bans Daily Mail As 'Unreliable' Source (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The side by side comparison of President Obama's packed inauguration and President Trump's near empty inauguration. Except it is #fakenews #alternativefacts The Trump photo was NOT taken during the inauguration. In fact, President Trump's inauguration was packed all the way to the tents at the Lincoln Memorial. This is documented, confirmed, and readily

    So EVERY article touting that comparison was #fakenews, yet I haven't seen a single retraction. Instead, I have watch my liberal friends on the right exclaim that a difference in time of capture doesn't make it fake. Essentially arguing well it's a picture, and it was the inauguration day, so it's real. Um, but presenting it as a photo of the inauguration crowd is a lie. Just one of many repeated lies by CNN and HuffPo.

    So when you combine an extra week, in combination with a quarter in which your #1 rival fails to deliver their competing phone leaving a gap in the 2.5 year upgrade pattern. Yup...

    The quarter that the Samsung S8/Note 8 arrive will be much different and more realistic.

    Funny, those programs were often available for foreign students but not U.S. students. Go figure. Most U.S. students, even the ones graduating with 4.0's walk out with thousands in debt.

    "Social Worker position. Must have doctorate. Salary $35K/year."

    Um really, how are you going to find any one with a doctorate at that salary? Oh, hire a foreigner who has no college debt from their degree.

  21. YOU SIR PROVE OUR POINT on Cutting H-1Bs Could Mean More Competition From China and India, Says GoDaddy CEO (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    "I work with dozens of H1B visa holders. I scoured the lands of the US for 1.5 years to fill a vacant position and I couldn't find anyone in the US to do it. I work in NIH funded research and needed a programmer at $45k/yr."

    Ya, you were budgeted $45K/year. That's not enough to live on in most of the country, especially not with student loans that an education in the field requires. So basically, what you're saying is your failure to find a candidate had NOTHING to do with their abilities or skills. It simply was a matter of you not being willing to pay a reasonable salary. So you took advantage of someone from a second world country.

    Presently, kids in a poor school system have zero choice. They're stuck in that school.

    Betsy DeVos is a school choice advocate. So her desire is to allow children to avoid such schools. You're !@#$% about colleges. Hmm, let's put it in perspective.

    What Betsy DeVos is advocating for American education is akin to colleges and universities. Now just imagine, if you were ONLY allowed to attend local colleges and universities. Imagine that for a minute. Let's say you only had a 2 year college in your area. You would be limited to earning an associates degree. Or you would have to move. But that's not so easy, because most of the better colleges are in affluent areas you can't afford to live.

    You want to pursue math. You're gifted. You have a talent for it. You completed Algebra 2 your sophomore year in high school. But your school doesn't offer any classes beyond Algebra 2. You really wanted to take Calculus I & II. But you can't, you're trapped in your public school.

    If you think that is unrealistic, than you're effing clueless about the real world. Heck, I was lucky. I was able to participate in a program that allowed me to take college classes as a high school student. Because my school didn't offer higher math options. Not ever kid is so lucky.

  24. 1. Adjust income to $100K, adjusted by inflation. Any position not meeting the criteria is subject to investigation, and heavy penalty if a U.S. able bodied and qualified willing worker is found.

    2. H1B Visa is held by company only for the first year. After that the H1B Visa holder is a free agent. If the skill is so rare, that it cannot be filled within the U.S., and another firm also needs the skill. They should be able to hire the Visa holder. This will likely mean an offer for increased wage, and mean this skillset will increase in value. All a good thing.

    3. H1B Visa Education Tax. The justification for H1B Visas is that no one in America has the qualified skills. (Though usually the case is no one in America can afford to take a $60K job in a major metro area where their choice is to live in a high crime area or have a 2+ hour daily commute.) But let's take it at face value. A skill is needed, it pays well, no candidates have the training. So let's get some Americans trained. For every $100K salary increment of an H1B visa, there will be an additional $10K tax that will help fund making community colleges free.

    So an $65K Java position will have an additional $10K tax. A doctor making $285K will have an additional $30K tax.

    4. Prohibit mandated salary reductions of H1B Visa holders.

  25. "You can't take an 18-month training program and produce a machine-learning scientist."

    I swear, many of the H1B visa holders I've met, went thru an 18 week Java program to list it on their resume.

    Heck, even a number of my friends here on H1B visas want them to be cut back. It's getting to hard for them to switch jobs.
