the media has been doing this for years: declaring a hiring boom anywhere our rulers want to depress wages. They did it with engineers, they did it with tech, and they're starting in on it with nursing. As has already been pointed out most of the jobs are meant for H1-B visas, and the only reason they're listed is to meet the legal requirement. There's tons of ways around hiring Americans.
Said it before, will not doubt say it again: stop voting Republican, put a majority of Dems in office. At least the Dems have to pretend to be pro-labor. It puts a limit on the crap they can do. The Republican's core philosophy boils down to: screw labor, the free market
stop voting Republican. Even if the Dems want to do something there's always enough Repubs to filibuster it into oblivion. You'd think after 30 years of declining wages for middle class and skyrocketing wages for the rich, people would learn...
got your attention? Sorry, I'll be good, but hear me out. I've seen more than one case where a doctor wouldn't order necessary tests because if they come up blank the insurance companies refuse to pay. There's an entire industry (medical billing) that exists to deny care. Just think about this: you're doctor is making decisions about your health care base on how much trouble he'll have to get paid...
how it'll tie in. If you've got the resources to fight it they'll probably drop it fast and move onto easier pickings...
The only real question is, will they ever attack enough people to result in real copyright reform? I doubt it. The judges have been careful to keep this under control, and that's probably why...
Julian Assange isn't a US citizen. He can break US law all day long and it's A-OK. Now, if he broke INTERNATIONAL LAW or the laws of his country, you might have something there. But whatever law he broke would have to be covered by one of those inconvenient extradition treaties...
I'm a dyed in the wool socialist, and my angry rants tend to get modded down too (don-mind, it won't stop me:D ). It really doesn't matter what you're expressing, strong political views on/. tend to get modded down. It makes sense, it's a tech site after all.
"My refusal to give General Electric (or any other corporation) my money has zero consequences."
Yep, zero consequences. For you and GE. You don't matter. In a modern capitalist society the same people own EVERYTHING. Go ahead. Don't buy from GE. You'll buy from their competitor, the board members of which will be ex GE employees. It's called a ruling class, and you're not a member.
Study after study shows people with access to more health care live longer. I'll point out John McCain and Earvin "Magic" Johnson as too people that'd be dead w/o the extensive and highly personalized healthcare they receive. This sounds like another conservative shill trying to convince the poor they don't need to see doctors like their rich people do, but than again the author could be another one of those Homeopath loons/Charlestons...
it's a well known fact Chief Justice Clarance Thomas received what can only be called bribes. If they can get away with bribing Supreme Court Justices what are the odds they won't do the same to a regular run of the mill judge?
for fans of Android! I kid, I kid. Seriously though, did Intel get good at power efficiency while I was gone? I seem to remember the xScale being one heck of a power hog, and ARMS kicking their rears pretty badly...
The original, not the movie tie in, and it's got an extensive plot and characterizations that play out as you play through the game. I guess you might mean the original game, but the movie isn't based off the original game...
I love the way corporations do this, just wait for a big news story (Osama's dead) and then start releasing the full extent of the disaster. The same principle worked for the cigarette companies. They were set to be torn apart of lying about the dangers of smoking and genetic modification to increase addiction, then along came 9/11 and all was forgetting. All you got to do is stonewall until a bigger problem comes along.
I hate to keep saying "you too", but you do know it was Regan's successor, Bush Sr, that coined the phrase 'Voodoo Economics'. That's sorta why I used it. Also, the trouble is they DON'T invest it. They have no reason to, because taxes are higher on investments than on just holding on to the money, and once money gets to a certain level it no longer represents wealth, it's POWER. e.g. the power to make society at large do anything you want. They hoard it for the power it brings, instead of investing it for the wealth. This is why countries become conservative: They're conserving the old order.
And yes, I'm over simplifying things when I say my answer is socialism. To be a little more specific: Tax the rich heavily to force them to invest or lose the money. In Brazil we saw this. The rich were holding onto prime farmland while the poor staved. The gov't forced them to sell the land at the rate they were claiming it was worth (about $1/acre I think, coulda been less), and more or less took the land and gave it to farmers so they could eat. That's the sort of policy we need if people aren't going to starve. You're loving family is a luxury. They're not just loving, they're very lucky to have never been crushed by capitalism. I don't want to rely on dumb luck as my social safety net....
He was the leader of a major terrorist organization. Rather than antagonize them, treating the body with respect shows we're reasonable and encourages peace.
"Lots of ways, but apparently you're too dumb and uncreative to even think of one."
As apparently you are too, as is every conservative I talk to. They just don't have any answers. Lots of pretty words about freedom, which always boil down to tax cuts for the rich and the same Voodoo economics that don't work because the rich can only spend so much money before they're just hoarding it all. So I say again, let's here some constructive ideas. Something that will truly elevate a large percentage of mankind. For me, I'll put out socialism as my answer. There's a large body of work describing why it would benefit mankind, and many, many European countries that prove it works.
So, what's yours? I hope you're not planning to dredge up trickle down economics and the writings of that pre-Industrial age fellow (Adam Smith). Discrediting that won't even be a challenge.
Help me out here guys. Should it be trivial in a modern data center to tell if that much data has been accessed? Also, I know California has a data breach law requiring disclosure if you do business there, any Californians with some extra letters from Sony?

Hollywood can keep their movies if I can have back my rising wages, health care and retirement. Seems like a fair trade.
a bunch a pictures of twits?
Sorry, couldn't help myself. Twitter is the worst name ever...

Pffft! Facts! You can use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
he's just letting them know it's not worth litigating, because he'll settle for reasonable amount. These are all businessmen...
there's your enforcement. It's surprisingly hard to kill a human being when they don't have access to guns or tall buildings...

if the economy sucks he'll still lose. After all, the Republicans own the media, and with a weak economy they'll just swiftboat him.

Still, nice try.
