Prior to the visa changes there was a significant economic incentive to fire local IT workers and replace them with significantly lower paid immigrant workers. That incentive is now gone. This will save jobs.
As for the CAFE standards, they are being abused now. Truck don't count. So now many luxury cars are trucks and suvs... But for some reason we do not export a lot of trucks...
So, why does he not just take a pile of his money and fund it himself for Silicon Vally for a year and show the work the results? Or is it a little expensive when he does not have my money too? (As opposed to Bill Gates who wanted to fix education and then wrote a check.)
And then we would seize their assets and forbid them from doing business in our country - it would be strictly "pay to play". When they tried to game the system by using intermediaries, we'd apply the same mechanisms we already use to limit asset transfers to money launderers, drug dealers and terrorists.
Very few people would care to give up the USA as a market just to save on taxes.
By the time you know they will have no US based assets. And when you are brining in millions to the local economy, it is not hard to get citizenship in other countries. Then when the US tries to lay sanctions against a UK citizen, the UK will be a bit upset. And this is not a guess. It has happened. http://fortune.com/2016/08/11/...
That's why UBI is actually a libertarian's dream. I believe Milton Friedman even supported it. The Republican posters who oppose it are just dummies who didn't get the new talking points from Foxnews yet.
I do not know a single Libertarian that supports massive new government entitlement programs. And I know a lot of Libertarians...
I guess you never got to the second line... The one that said blaming "the other party" is not a solution because that logic works both ways. I was trying to say that we need to look past the surface and try and find the real problems that we share!... And you can not read past the first line... (I think we found the problem!)
The so called republicans (really neo fascists now) have spent the past three or four decades redistributing money. To the wealthy. That's why there's a monstrous wealth disparity in this country.
And they were doing this with a Democratic House, Senate, and President? Damn! They sure are good!
And you god damn, ignorant, motherfucking libertarians are the absolute stupidest, most hypocritical pieces of shit on the earth. I used to be one, when I was young and stupid, then I grew hair on my balls.
So now you have a lot more experience being stupid! Congratulations!
I really am tiring of this bs "against their wills" crap wingnuts keep espousing. You idiots keep wanting us to do stuff against our wills all the time,...
Nice assumption, but totally wrong. I lean libertarian, so I am more of the "Do what you want but you are on your own" mentality. But nice try.
I am with you. A smart phone is a bad compromise. It is too small to be a reasonable web browser, and to problematic to be a good phone. (Try holding it with your shoulder without hanging up!) So I have an antique phone and a tablet. The tablet spends a lot of time turned off. It is also rooted.
Well, there is that whole customer choice thing also keeping them in check. You will note that the most evil companies have little or no competition. (Comcast, ATT, Chase...)
I will never buy a phone from a third-party supplier again - it's straight to the google store next time.
Or direct from the source. It hurts less when abandoned after two years if you only paid $100 for it. Frankly I do not see the benefit in brands over the eBay phones anymore. (Yes they are riddled with spyware, but so is the phone from Verizon. Root it and install your own. If you can...)
all phones are locked down, expensive shitty toys for tracking humans
they are all garbage
the day someone sells some hardware phone that you HAVE to put some kind of really free linux distro on it, yourself, like you do in a computer, they will start being interesting to me, but right now all phones are STILL garbage
But some are easy to unlock and some are impossable. iPhones and Samsung have locked boot loaders, so only their firmware. The cheap China phones are easy to wipe completely and install your own firmware. And decide EXACTLY what access different apps have.
That is one reason (among many) that the cheap China Androids are popular. They are not locked down. This is a buying decision for many. No, not all, but it is a market.

There is no shortage if you want to pay them. They is a big shortage if you want to pay $25k a year...

Show me a quote where he says his taxes should be lower.
I think it is implied when he hires an accounting firm to do his taxes.

This actually happened in PA and NJ when one state enacted a "millionaires tax" and everyone moved to the other state.

If fascists are what it takes to finally get rid of the liberals, by all means, bring on the fascists!
Read up on the girl who swallowed a fly...

But when the CiC can only speak in 1 line sound bites why should we expect the rest of the country to do more?
The irony of the above fitting on one line... ;)
People get to elect the representatives that will decide the taxes they pay.
The overwhelming majority of both parties support term limits. Many people have run on term limits and been elected. So where are they?
You're just an ignorant, plebeian sucker.
There is no ignorance like willful ignorance.

It is amusing that all of these rich people proposing this are not talking about using their own money...
allow this to happen since they want to force everyone to work, which is slavery.
Verses the Democrats that want to redistribute money from the people who work for it, against their wills, which is theft.
Perhaps instead of one line sound bites, we should look at the actual problems?

All I care is that the boot loader is unlocked so I can install my own OS and remove the spyware. This can not be done with Apple or Samsung.

Well, a lot of them have moved here. So bring em! The gun manufacturers that moved here can use some more company!
