That also puts the grandparent poster's real name(which is NOT Anonymous Coward) on a quarterly published list of people that have denounced their US citizenship. That, and it aggressively values assets to maximize collections(arguably it should include a few years back to discourage strategic transfers).
I would not be surprised to see that used to track where prominent denouncers, such as the traitor Eduardo Saverin, go and what they do.
...and its equivalent called avoidance as well. Perhaps the US could do so more aggressively(read: go international) and allow regular citizens to help.
Regardless of amount, purposeful evasion/avoidance shows contempt for a country and its constituents. That is, it makes you quite close(and blatant offenders like FB/Google already crossed it) to falling on the wrong side of the enemies foreign and domestic phrase.
If you want to be on the wrong end of a very capable and effective hyperpower(the US), do not be surprised when it(and its citizens) acts against you. You're free to become a terrorist, but not free to evade the consequences of your choice(which is the primary goal of tax avoidance/evasion, consequence evasion).
Start using the NSA for some good and uncover the people involved.
In addition, start taking advantage of the nature of these tax domiciles as being easily knocked over by a superpower's military. Offer to disclose each conquered country's information to other regions such as the UK and EU. In any case, move in a way that thwarts any effort to move out assets to "somewhere else".
Finally, be willing to use extraordinary rendition to moot jurisdiction movement. This would be viable for cases such as Eduardo Saverin, and assets of companies sent offshore.
In any of the cases, there will be no shortage of people willing to defend their country from tax jurisdiction abuse. With plenty of people out of work - more than a few leaving from good jobs - opportunity exists to discourage/deny the use of creative accounting.
(If you really want to turn up the heat, ensure that nobody involved, whether directly or indirectly, will have any protection from the US)
He thought that he was too good for US citizenship.
Perhaps the US should pursue on that additional $62 million by returning him and said assets to US jurisdiction. In this case, the military and intelligence used to effect his return would be a force used for good.[
Like any tool, Typingpool could probably be used that way. Please don’t use it that way!
You're using a service that generally does not attract people from the developed (First World) nations. It *is* being Used That Way.
Typingpool defaults to paying $0.75 a minute, and I often offer $1.00/minute, which produces transcripts very quickly, tends to attract better workers and is still roughly half the best rate I’ve seen for high-speed professional transcription. I have had success completing transcripts at lower rates, and Baio four years ago was able to find plenty of workers at $0.40/minute. But lower prices generally translate to slower transcription and lower quality.
You get what you pay for, but the service would have to have a builtin "No Third World" option defaulted to "on" for it to work well.
Also, bear in mind that just because you pay Mechanical Turk workers a lower rate through Typingpool than you’d pay a service doesn’t mean the workers are actually getting paid less or are worse off
However, the likeliness favors the conclusion that they are getting paid less/worse off.
In the UK, you would just get your jobless benefit while "auditioning" for years - with no intent to hire. See Tesco for an example of this exact practice.
In the US, the same thing happens wherever it is tried. See the state of Georgia and the low acceptance rate.
Given how much permatemping runs rampant in the UK and EU (and if the US doesn't amend Right to Work to cover temporary workers, them too), it would be valid to turn offers for "temporary work" that isn't temporary. How about removing the avenues of labor classification abuse by employers as well as removing all the cost reductions?
Spying on the jobless is just like the job tryout program that Tesco abuses and that some security company abused for the London Olympics - doing nothing to employers and not equalizing the cost of temporary labor to FT/direct.
If you still have a working USB port, reinforce it. If you still have the pads on it, the thing can be resoldered. If you don't have the regular pads on it, there is the option of rewiring through the debug pads.
Worst case, there are more than a few of them around. Despite that, the N900 (and the Nokia smartphones in general) got one critical thing right - handling the request for a network connection. On Maemo, you get a box prompting you on what connection you want to use right off the bat - while Android tucks it off in some obscure place.
When they moved from generally useful "multi-tool" phones to relatively functionless whorephone candybars, courtesy of Microsoft-owned executive Mr. "Burning Platform" Elop, market share took a dive. In addition, salespeople couldn't even figure out how to sell them.
That, and it didn't help that their "sold only in a Third World hellhole" N9 phone, which ran Meego Harmattan, has a better sales record than the Windows Phones that were "meant for the First World markets".
Yet the people that you quote came in under much more "nationalist" and "draconian" immigration policy - back when they still had honest-to-goodness quotas and/or laws such as the Chinese Exclusion Act(up to 1943).
I'm speaking some very painful truth - where desperation is what they have and what no US Citizen is to ever endure.
Perhaps if it had some horsepower to it (versus just being another ARM knockoff), there might be some value to it. Until then, the Thinkpad is about the closest thing you can get.
But then you'll probably respond with the thought-terminating cliche of "not the target market". Be more original than that (or more original than modbombing).
Since the South knows the same kinds of "know your place" slavery that is only ratcheted up in China, one can only expect that they won't go anywhere that a worker has the advantage.
Now if Foxconn would manufacture somewhere outside the South and Southern-aligned states(such as ALEC-controlled Michigan and Indiana) and choose the North/Northeast(excluding Michigan and Indiana) as well as the West Coast - it would provide a nice rejoinder to
Those foreigners are working off of desperation, which is a very poor demonstrator of value. That is the only thing that those foreigners possess that no US citizen will or should ever possess.
In addition, you've been looking for the wrong citizens, or the process was designed to discourage qualified citizens from applying. So the claim that they're "better" is suspect given that it leaves out the incentive to discourage citizens from applying.
If you have billions of people, they don't matter if they're not in the same regulatory domain (the US). The best you can claim is with criteria based on United States citizens - within the United States.
The proper thing to do is to kill offshoring yesterday and perhaps bring it back when businesses like yours can't pull off fraud or needlessly avoid US citizens.
If you're a US citizen, they look for it. If you're from some hellhole of a country, they dont care - they just commit fraud to ensure that even a degreed US citizen with honors and qualifications will not get it.
Staffing agencies, contingent work, and other forms of temporary labor function in the same way that a labor union does - they organize workers while providing protection and leverage - for the benefit of an employer against employees.
These forms of less-than-permanent work are not covered by the "no closed shop" provision. If these forms of labor were covered, no person would be forced to accept unionization by any third party (whether it protects the employer or the worker).
Apple might as well have resurrected Compuserve and all the lock-in that it had; one only needs to look at their platforms and their un-free nature.
No wonder they want to go with ARM, since it provides an environment that locks the user to a few "approved" uses as well as having a platform that is equally as obscured as current Apple gear.
Which use that status to have work in forms (such as the employer's union of contract/temp/agency labor) that would not pass muster in worker-friendly - that is, non-RTW - states.
I wonder how much of a fan of RTW those states would be if they had to give employer unions(temporary, contract, agency labor) the same provisions of "not forced to accept as a condition of employment".

That is, using the lists generated by people that denounce their US citizenship sorted by income by their last two years of citizenship?
In addition, I'm quite sure that the NSA can always trade with other friendly countries for what its charter does not allow them to have.

To address your USB port issue:

They've talked plenty about refarming over the AT&T(1900 HSPA+) bands, but not many places have been converted.
That presumes that I bought an iPhone and not a more Free(as in speech) Nokia N900.
Even Android is more free.

Not only do they get around the requirement for a degree, fraud is used for declaring that they have a degree or that they are qualified for the job.

Get rid of the guest workers and offshore pressure, then wages can rise.

Not only is it a grindfest, bots run rampant in the game due to the general lack of attention by GM's/HGM's to do anything effective.

there ARE non-union states, actually
Which use that status to have work in forms (such as the employer's union of contract/temp/agency labor) that would not pass muster in worker-friendly - that is, non-RTW - states.
I wonder how much of a fan of RTW those states would be if they had to give employer unions(temporary, contract, agency labor) the same provisions of "not forced to accept as a condition of employment".
Given that Caterpillar will screw with their workers at the drop of the hat, no wonder they're low.
In addition, some of those low wages were a result of unionbusting firms that brought in desperate labor.
