The handout to the employee enables the corporation to employ workers at a lower rate, and without it they could not -- they would be forced to pay more because their workers would die at the rates they paid them.
The hypothetical handout to the corporation might get it to pay more, but not only would it not be required to, it could have paid that extra money without the handout.
We do jail people driving way over the speed limit. Google it. People get points on their licenses and have them suspended or revoked for repeat offenses.
The workers they brought over were not allowed to work in the US. If they had been on H1Bs, they would have to have been paid competitive rates for skilled workers (you can't bring over H1Bs unless they have skills you can't find enough of in the US) so they must be worth $20 an hour at least. If the workers had had real work visas they could have gotten low skill jobs which paid a bit more than minimum wage and would have gotten overtime, would have had some rights, could have negotiated with their employers, gotten raises, changed companies, etc. Certainly they needn't have worked for EFI and gotten minimum wage and no overtime.
So this company didn't save $40,000. They saved more than $80,000. And the government looked right at them and yet still somehow managed to look the other way.
So your points are logically correct, but they save more like 40 cents on the dollar even if they're caught 100% of the time.
Yes, jailing EFI's board of directors would be a start. They are responsible for the company and ultimately, if you can't figure out who really broke the law here, they're responsible. They are also the most likely to affect change, once they get out of prison.
Let me add just a bit to your comment on Spanish. Spanish is the single easiest commonly used, spoken language an American can learn. It has a TINY vocabulary (you can claim fluency knowling well less than 10,000 words). There are native speakers all around you who love talking to English speakers in Spanish (not only is it hilarious, the English speakers are buying things and helping them makes them repeat customers). It's actually USEFUL, and you can start putting it to good use right away in almost any state. Try that with German! And then there's what you said.
ASL is also dead-easy, but it's not spoken, per se, not really written, and only useful in deaf schools. That said, you lean ASL and you can pick up other SLs accross the globe faster than anyone can pick up a new spoken language, and there's deaf folk in every country.
I think you're missing the real point here. Computer languages are NOT foreign languages. Foreign languages teach mental dexterity in the verbal domain and allow people to experiences worldviews other than their own. Computer languages teach systematic thinking.
Do they recognize you can kill political prisoners and make a fortune by selling their innards?
In the American south, prison labor used to be common. You'd pay the warden and he'd share that money downward to the guards and police, etc., and prisoners would be sent to work for you for no pay to them. Oddly, the prisons were always full of people who were guilty of being black. There was a financial incentive to keep the prisons full.
If we legalize pay for organs, there's a great incentive for people you don't like to not only wind up in prison, but for them to commit suicide, get shot trying to escape, have accidents, etc.
This is hogwash. Elop killed the company's feature phone business which was doing fine for the time being. Yes, Nokia needed help. Yes, it was on a slope downward and needed to figure out how to compete. But Elop didn't do that. Elop jumped forward without covering the company's behind.
That he made a wrong choice of where to jump to, that it suspicious in hindsight, those are irrelevant. He didn't work to preserve the part of the business which worked and would have kept working for several more years if he hadn't driven a stake into it -- that is his massive sin of incompetance, or perhaps worse.
I like this idea a LOT. Security would go WAY down, lines would speed up, the searches would be polite. If a plane blew up, the airline would get sued for about a figure that an actuary could neatly estimate. They'd only inconvenience their customers up to a point where the chance that they'd lose repeat business was cost-effective. Perfect.
But the TSA grabs everyone at the start of the terminal. The terminals are used by multiple airlines. How do you see that getting broken up by airline? Pooling? That spoils the effect. Mutliple lines?
The airlines would be forced to get some real security on the tickets, to avoid them being forged. Heck we might see some real security instead of security theatre if someone's money was on the line, as opposed to a politician's job.
But some airlines would muff it badly. You'd need to issue some proof of going through security and verify it when you boarded, so that folks didn't go through some lax airline's security and then board their real flight.
What must be avoid at all costs is the airport providing the security as a service to the airline. Then there's no global standard, no one with a lot to lose, disregard for the customer, etc.
They don't charge for thier app. They charge for the ads on the videos inside their app. So all of the above is just noise.
They make more money by hitting more people, so they should have an adroid app.
(Their list of advertisers is small, but they show over and over. I have "Viking River Cruises" DRILLED into my head by so many repititions of their ad while watching videos on the iPad PBS app.)

No, that's what trade school is for.
No, that doesn't follow.

Thank you. You are quite correct.
We do jail people driving way over the speed limit. Google it. People get points on their licenses and have them suspended or revoked for repeat offenses.
They have a "Social Wall" -- http://w3.efi.com/about-efi/so...
It's the magic of twitter.
There's only one mention of it on that page.
You are incorrect.

We need to do both.
You are misunderstanding the substitution rule. 'Who' for subject/'whom' for object.
So your statement should read,
"who gives a fuckm?"

If you learn a second lanuage, a third is much easier. Yes, learning Spanish helps you learn Korean.
[Yes, Japanese would help a lot more, but it's still helpful.]
Then you wasted your years in college.
Sorry, but I've seen rural Alabama and rural Kentucky. From my experience, Kentucky's doing significantly better.
I think you're missing the real point here. Computer languages are NOT foreign languages. Foreign languages teach mental dexterity in the verbal domain and allow people to experiences worldviews other than their own. Computer languages teach systematic thinking.
So what you really need here is:
"Kentucky: Logic = Foreign Language."

How about head of the TSA?
UNlikely.
Much subtler changes for facial work.
And these people are NOT doing real time translation. They're having people sign each sign stilted isolation.

In ASL the bird is directional. Not sure about CSL. But you don't point it upward in ASL, you point it as the moron you're insulting.
It's not priced like a modern board. It's WAY MORE.

Why would a 'for profit' corporation go out of its way to not do something the goverment which it can charge for?
I suspect if the goverment didn't pay for this data, we'd see a bunch of lawsuits to "protect the rights of consumers."
Nicely put.

The videos play and people watch them. The start with an ad and are interrupted by advertising. The advertizers pay PBS.
It's actually BETTER for PBS if people watch the shows on the app, rather than on TV.
