Or maybe go on and let them in - but charge the company importing the worker a cool $30k per year in taxes. That way, if the company says they really couldn't find an American to do the job and had to find someone from outside the country, they would be telling the truth. As opposed to blowing some smoke up our asses while they depress wages.
There is a serious problem with Americans. Too many people think that they deserve a high paying job. They think they can go "get an education" and get hired by a company that will give them a career track.
Another problem common in America: holier-than-thou elitism. You are a hardworking individual...it's everyone else that are a bunch of slackers.
So on the low end Americans should have to compete with third world labor on manufacturing, and now they also have to compete with third word cost of education and standard of living on the high end as well? Just how many Americans are going to take on 5 or 6 figures in student loan debt and then have to compete with graduates from India or China who had.....none of those costs to deal with?
As in medical, engineering, software, geophysics, etc. The best thing that could happen to the USA is a population bias in favor of intelligence. At the moment, it would seem that we desperately need that.
Young American: assume 5 to 6 figures in student loan debt for that technical degree. Young Vietnamese: zero student loan debt because he went to a state school.
Young American: lifetime of paying American prices for goods, housing, health care. Young Vietnamese: lifetime of paying a fraction of a percentage of that cost.
Young American: spend his money within the American economy. Young Vietnamese: sends his money back home to his family.
End result: only rich assed rich Americans will get technical degrees in America, because they are the only ones who can afford it.
Don't you believe in a free market? I think it is silly to restrict people because of where they are born. If somebody is better then I am, why should he NOT be able to take my job.
So while you're competing with some nice Vietnamese kid for your job, are you going to enjoy the Vietnamese cost of living while you are doing so? Of course not.
So how does your post make any sense. You want an international "free market" on labor, but there is no international "free market" on housing or health care. That nice Vietnamese kid will take your job, and most of his earnings will be spent back home, where he sent them. As opposed to that money staying within your community if that paycheck was still going to you.
And because playgrounds cost money to build and maintain, and tax hating, school-hating Grover Norquists have made it difficult for schools to afford such frivolities.
Then we wonder why the boys are more hyperactive in class when they don't get a chance to run around outside and burn off nervous energy.
How about a longer school year, and add an hour or so to the school day.
Why, to increase student fatigue and burnout? You have a point about people wanting high schools to adopt their old hobbies, but building stuff like rockets is Actually Doing Crap as opposed to sitting in a classroom reading the same stuff about the Civil War for the 10th grade in a row.
Hilarious in which way - that the use of nerve gas wouldn't be denied and classified like Obama's warrantless spying and drone war, or how Americans rose up against the assassination of American citizens and a law allowing military detention of American citizens on American soil?
But that percentage of the military would be reduced to using the same small arms as the rest of the Wolverines. Because if a fascist government were to take over the United States, brownshirts would be placed in key positions of control, and military hardware would be centralized. It's how every unpopular military dictatorship has maintained control throughout history, but it's gotten ever easier as warfare has gone high tech.
So lets say some enlisted men join up with the Colorado National Guard and try to take some armaments from a local military base. It's all captured by spy satellite - which the Wolverines don't have access to - and then promptly bombed by a Predator Drone.
This wouldn't be like the Revolutionary War, where a bunch of colonists with muskets could present a real threat to an army wielding muskets and cannons.
Uh huh. But what's the functional difference between someone who downloads a product without paying for it and someone who respects copyright but would never pay for it?
Nice generalization. Of course, most of us "anti-government" types, are not actually "anti government"! Instead, we favor a government limited to its proper functions, none of which involve the initiation of force against innocents.
Except it's usually an accurate generalization, as wanting less government for the sake of less government is as sensible as wanting maximum government for the sake of it. That and the tendency of it to merely be an argument against spending one doesn't like. You never see conservatives complaining about how Social Security and the Air Force are unconstitutional, because they don't fall in the "strict" list of enumerated powers given to Congress.
Duh, duh? Aside from keeping prices higher than they were before the flood, there's also the fact that Segate felt comfortable enough in their marketshare to drop their five year warranty on drives. Like Verizon adding a $30 "upgrade" fee, that should be telling you something about the competitive state of a market.
Speak for yourself ; for my work, which has some fairly heavy data sets, I muddle through on a 64GB SSD. I'm tempted to upgrade to a 128GB model, because it's sometimes a bit tight and I'd like to have room for my music collection (12GB).
Games ; I currently have a 1TB partition devoted to game installs. It's not remotely full yet.
And some people are still perfectly happy checking their plain text email on a first generation Pentium. Doesn't mean that a good chunk of the population, not to mention pro users, have moved on....
Stalking? You mean, he had repeatedly followed Martin to his home, or place of employment?
Obviously, I mean first following him in a car, then following him on foot. Obviously.
Yes, Zimmerman was doing his job of neighborhood watch and following Trayvon
If you've followed this story at all, you know that is total nonsense. Neighborhood watch members - of which Zimmerman was not actually an actual member of - are only supposed to call police to report suspicious activity. Not to follow "suspicious" people by car and then by foot. Which is what the 911 operator said to Zimmerman over the phone.
and following Trayvon, who was acting suspicious (according to Zimmerman's account).
By being an unfamiliar person in the neighborhood while wearing a hoodie.
The witnesses, the police officers, Trayvon's bruised knuckles and Zimmerman's bloody head, while not absolute proof, all agree with Zimmerman's story.
Which, again, convicts Zimmerman of at least manslaughter. You do not get to stalk people and then kill them when they react violently to the stalking.
And, again, who do you guys think you're kidding here. If Joe Horn was walking home and then noticed someone following him first by car then by foot, he would have pulled out his own gun and shot the guy on the spot, no questions asked. And the NRA guys would be all over the case defending Horn.
It's clear you're out of your fucking mind with that "it was laser printed" crap, and you skated right past the birth announcement in the newspaper. The lunar conspiracy theory guys have a firmer attachment to reality.
Please. The Palestinians are the cause of their own misery. You should read both sides. The could have had a state from day one.
Horseshit revision history. Zionists in the 1940's wanted over half the land for less than a third of the population - the vast majority of whom were immigrants from Europe. It would be like the immigrant Cuban population up and declaring an independent state carved out of most of Florida. There was never a fair deal for the Palestinians to negotiate on.
Then there's the fact that Israel grabbed huge tracks of land in the 1967 war, which Israel started with a sneak attack on the Egyptian Air Force. In response to a blockade of the Straits of Tiran. Since blockades are an act of war according to Israel, attacks in response to the blockade of Gaza are perfectly justified according to Israeli logic.
And, 22 Israelis have died from Quassam rockets. Ever. The IDF routinely kills more Palestinians in a single strike in a single offensive. You have a greater chance of dying in Israel from a civilian bus colliding with your car - not car accidents overall but ones involving buses - than in dying from a Quassam rocket. Which even the IDF admits that Hamas had stopped firing prior to Israel's latest rampage, Operation Cast Lead. Meanwhile, the current prime minister of Israel celebrates the 60th anniversary of a Zionist terrorist bombing of a hotel used as a headquarters by the British.
So, still want to try and float that false equivalency drivel?
Hardly. The Militia Movement that was screaming mad against Clinton's supposed police state tactics and New World Order - where the fuck did they go when Bush took office and started wiretapping their phones and signing shit like the Patriot Act?
It's the same story with the Teabaggers. The same people losing their shit over Obama's deficits couldn't be bothered to get out of bed when Bush doubled the national debt. That's a fact, deal with it.
After the release of the birth certificates AND newspaper announcements of the birth? Yeah, we can actually blame the birthers and their sophist apologists for being the racist hacks they are....

How are you and the rest of the Wolverines going to do with small arms against drone warfare and nerve gas?
Demeaning? "and they only hire kids under 30" is demeaning? Here, I'll work on crying you a river, starting....now.
Interesting. I get the vibe you just pulled that assertion out of your butt.
Forgot one:
"Have 10 years management experience yet be under 30".
