Before we implement your corporate utopia, first we need to rescind all property easements.
That's insane - you're not thinking making this comment. Can you imagine how long your power would be out after a storm if the power company had to negotiate with EVERY property owner when coming to repair the lines? You fill in a stormwater ditch because your neighbor won't pay for an easement to keep it open? Some deeds even include easements because their neighbors' driveways run through the property.
Not really. These are temporary workers, hired under an entirely different program. Resort hotels, frankly really do have a hard time hiring the extra help they need for 3-4 months during peak season, at minimum wage or just above, so pretty much all the resorts use the H-2B program to staff up for the peak season.
The H-2B visa nonimmigrant program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come temporarily to the United States and perform temporary nonagricultural services or labor on a one-time, seasonal, peakload or intermittent basis.
Employer must also specify the period(s) of time during each year it does not need the services or labor to be performed. peakload need - An employer claiming a peakload need must show that it:
Regularly employs permanent workers to perform the services or labor at the place of employment;
Needs to temporarily supplement its permanent staff at the place of employment due to a seasonal or short-term demand; and
The temporary additions to staff will not become part of the employer's regular operation.
Uh you do know that of the two presidential candidates Trump is the more likely one to offshore things? Hint: businesses do it all the time and he is a businessman.
No, his plan is to make it more expensive and difficult to offshore anything. Sure, he offshores stuff all the time, the system is set up to encourage it. He wants to change that system. The only candidate who has talked about doing anything about the bleeding of jobs and wage suppression since Ross Perot (the other candidate everybody called insane).
"SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices.... Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer."
You'd say there are rational arguments for nation states? Arbitrary lines drawn over the globe by tribal apes? Rational? Yeah, right.
They are not arbitrary. They are drawn that way to create a defensible position to defend resources from marauding bands of killers and pillagers. The marauders are still there, but some of them have learned better techniques than violence and killing.
But it's clear that's exactly what's going to happen. HCL got the contract. They are professional service level degraders. Boeing paid them millions for the control software for the AirBus, and it was so bad they had to fire HCL and spend 2 years re-writing the software.
Has anybody seen my AirPod? One of them dropped out of my ear and I didn't even know it! $160 for those things, and now I've lost one. If you seen my AirPod, please send them to me. Thanks!
If it's not an augmented reality game, I want nothing to do with it. I want a super mario that jumps desks and pounds on people's heads in augmented reality. Otherwise, it's crap.
It's clear Hillary has some kind of Brain Injury issue going on.
Yes, it was a pretty bad head trauma. The cover story was that she had a flu or something and fell over and banged her head, and that's why she was wearing those glasses. The coverup was necessary because the injury actually happened during a plane crash in Iran when she was headed to secret negotiations, which the State Department lied about, then covered up, then covered up the lie, then restored the video where they admitted the lie. It was lies all the way down.
There was also a Navy Seal killed during the crash. It must have been a fairly open secret among some folks at the State Department. When Hillary returned to work after a month-long recovery from the crash, officials at the Department gave her a crash helmet as a gift.
But this flawed plan would violate travelers' privacy, and would have a wide-ranging impact on freedom of expression -- all while doing little or nothing to protect Americans from terrorism.
So exactly the same as every other US Federal government "security" program... Seeing a pattern, here.
FWIW, I actually think that if they were to put in some effort, they really could fix it. Just think up a game (or two or three or ten), and add that to it. Treat the previous work as background/setting/universe_creation. Mapping the universe onto the real world was a good idea and I think we're going to see a lot more of that happening in the near future.
Well that's what they did - they put all that effort into Ingress. PokeGo was the culmination of all the crowd-sourced locations and some of the gameplay (battling for control of Gyms / Portals).
Augmented reality does look to be the future of gaming (much more so than "virtual reality"). The problem with Ingress and PokeGo that Niantic doesn't seem interested in solving is that a small group of dedicated and coordinated player can ruin the game for everyone else over a fairly large area.
What's surprising is that none of these members are cybersecurity experts.
Not surprising to me. The DNC and their members create economic policies with no understanding of economics. They put people in charge of justice with no understanding of justice. They put people in charge of foreign policy who are incompetent in dealing with foreign policy issues.
So this is just what they do - meddle in things they know nothing about.
His chief prosecutor in the case, Miquel Rodriguez, quit the Starr investigation, claiming that Starr’s staff was engaging in a cover-up of Foster’s death
You mean the Kenneth Starr that recently had to resign from Baylor due to a sex assault scandal? You mean the guy whose chief prosecutor in the case, Miquel Rodriguez, quit the Starr investigation, claiming that Starr’s staff was engaging in a cover-up of Foster’s death? That Kenneth Starr?
You call a flagrant propaganda site like that 'actual science' ?!?!?!
No, you stupid dipwad - maybe you could try the links to the peer-reviewed studies they have DIRECT LINKS to instead of throwing out ad hominems because you don't like the messenger.
Funny how you did not link a peer reviewed article in a journal...
Total reading comprehension on the part of dipwad silentcoder. The page I linked has more than ten links to peer reviewed articles, plus references. Wow silentcoder sure is making himself look like an utter fool today.
At least get something that isn't debunked with links to numerous peer reviewed studies on the 'common claims' page skepticalscience.com.
Okay, sorry, now I realize you're just trolling. Claiming the my link is "flagrant propaganda" so you reference a well-known source of flagrant propaganda! LOL! You had me going there for a minute.

Oh, right. I forgot that Dubya fixed all that in the years from 2000-2008, and Obama fucked it all up again.
Nope, W. and Obama are both globalists, as was Bush Sr. It's been getting fucked up for at least that long.

...and why paying more taxes would keep more jobs in America.
There is no practical scenario where that is actually true.

Show me a politician not backed up by some lobby group (BTW nice euphemism for bribery) founded by some corporation.
Just one? How about Dave Brat.
and the service levels don't degrade

I spent $160 on these damn AirBuds and I've already lost one! If anyone sees my AirBud, can you please return it? Thanks!
Consumable in-app purchases, such as if buy a number of PokeBalls for Pokemon Go are not transferable.
Yes, they are. When I buy pokeballs on my adroid, they also show up on my iPhone. I don't know what you're talking about.

Where a tool does one thing and does it well, and you put tools together to do whatever?
That's called an engineering team.
LOL No. The engineering team designs the types of hammers, the worker decides which hammer to hang on his toolbelt.
