    Visas are not permission to enter a country. They are only permission to be in it.

    No, he's right. Unless your lips move when you read, encountering a homonymous mistake is jarring, as fluent reading is word or even phrase recognition, not letter recognition. If you don't care about what you're writing, why should anyone else?

    H1B visas are only supposed to be used when an American worker with the same skills cannot be found, yet we keep hearing about cases where American workers train their H1B visa worker replacements before the Americans are fired.

    The skill laid-off American workers lack is fluency in Hindi. How do you expect them to talk to their coworkers?

  12. Insurance is a leech on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Americans paid $3.2 trillion for healthcare in 2015. That's $10,000 per capita. We already spend far more than needed for every American to have quality healthcare. The insurance companies are middle persons who grab enough of that money to create a healthcare shortage. In exchange, they provide a service that could be replicated by a team of talented appers in less than a year. It's just databases and arithmetic, with front end apps for users.

    Give people quality healthcare and they'll live longer.

    American pollution was bad enough that rivers were catching fire. That's why the EPA was created.

    Want to depoliticize the EPA? More power to you. Want to destroy it? That just makes you a shitty human being.
