When that occurs (and it is a horrible abomination of the law) it is due to all this privatization of prisons and the use of prison labor by corporations, etc. (Just check out BP and prison labor.)
Thanks to all those private equity firms like the Blackstone Group, who have funded and/or bought up vile organizations such as Corrections Corporation of America, Prison Realty, Geo, etc., Korporate Amerika now has a ready supply of slave labor.
Especially with the thoroughly corrupt judicial "system" and the absolutely corrupt and degenerate Supreme Court!
Nope, In America, hiring anyone WHO ISN'T an H-1B, H-2B, H-2C, O-1, L-1, P-1, P-2, P-3, etc., etc., etc., or any other foreign visa worker, is UNUSUAL.
Hiring an actual American worker.....now THAT'S unusual!!!!
Exactly! Evidently everyone has forgotten that no too long ago Micro$oft opened up their Windows source code to the Peoples Republic of China, a k a the Totalitarian Fascist State, etc.
The only secret this tovarisch picked up was free yogurt, softdrinks and coffee at MS....
Thank you....thank you....thank you... finally an intelligent and insightful comment. For far too long there seems to be nothing but mindless twits commenting at/. Thanks for your +1-frigging-000,000,000 comment. Zoho sucks, and if anyone ever comes across any, and I mean ANY well crafted code done by a Hindu, for craps' sake please notify me. I've been following behind on their pure, unadulterated crap for decades. No wonder we're in the dark ages....
Well, I guess a president who appoints the most antiworker, antilabor, antiunion and anti-small business people should be expected to do this.
Since anyone who's been paying attention realizes, Goldman Sachs OWNS the US Department of Treasury (as in, everyone at the managerial level is, or has been, connected to Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and some Swiss banks own the Federal Reserve (no surprise there, this has been the case forever).
Gee, so all those Goldman Sachs, private equity types, Morgan Stanley types, Wall Street lobbyists, pharmaceutical and Monsanto lobbyists appointed by Obama are fundamentally no different than the Cheney/Bush appointees? Go figure.....
I am so pathetically and profoundly tired of all you clownishly historically-ignorant types.
Freedom isn't free --- as if corporate Amerika hasn't been financing both sides of every war, at least since WWI. What bloody freedom do you have, zombie consumertard?
And when and whom did you fight for said "freedom"?
I sincerely hope you aren't one of those "volunteer army" mental category six types? There's a sound reason why Jefferson promulgated the citizen-soldier concept -- so America wouldn't have all this super-sized debt, super-sized deficit spending, too many debt-financed billionaires, and crackers coming out the ying yang -- and all those life pukes who've retired from the SEALS or Delta to play bodyguards to the world's bloddiest totalitarian dictators!
It's people like you who believe history started yesterday.
Here's an interview you probably missed with everything else -- pay very close attention -- assuming you can focus on anything -- to Brzezinski's responses.
Negative, twoallbeefpatties, you're spewing the usual talking point nonsense, dood.
They've offshored the R & D, like the rest of the jobs. There is simply nothing going on in this completely and utterly corrupt criminal enterprise called America. Whenever I find some moron wearing one of those (lifer puke) shirts "Freedom isn't free" I inquire if he believes that "freedom" must be purchased from Wall Street in time payments?
When they answer affirmatively, I disappear their useless butts.....
"I don't know what the truth is behind that claim..."
Geez, if you haven't figured it by this time, what the frigging perdition are you doing at this site? It's gotta be quite difficult for you and technically advanced for your kind, after all....
But there is still a way to solve America's present economic doldrums: retailers around the country must practice outreach to all those H-1A, H-1B, H-2B, H-2C, L-1, O-1, P-1, P-2, P-3 and all the other visa worker codes out there, and all the undocumented workers out there too -- to come and eat at American restaurants and to purchase American books.
I mean....somebody has to, and the rest of us don't have any work since they've offshored ALL the jobs (OK, there are still some restaurant and book store jobs, but if those guys don't start shopping there, they'll be gone too).
Ya know, it's really sad, but over the past several years I've mentioned (quite seriously) to dozens and dozens of college students whom I've come into contact with about considering becoming a hydrologist.
Sadly, each and every single one has given me a stupified look and inquired as to what a hydrologist is? (Many have thought it was akin to an astrologer!)
It's all those debt-financed billionaires who are living in the mansions (ya know, the doods who pay no taxes and saddled the rest of us with that debt they sold to rich investors). If you don't comprehend this, you comprehend nothing.
Finally, an intelligent post (thanks, bmajik)!!! Nope, there is no US economy --- and with the Fantasy Finance Sector now laying off (check out Morgan Stanley, et al.), it isn't even a vaguely debatable point any longer --- either one comprehends that there is no economy, or one is a complete idiot by this point.
The US technically went bankrupt in 2004, and the majority of states, as mentioned, are insolvent.
ANYONE who even mentions the word "recovery" is an arithmetical and mathematical illiterate. Period!
Ooooohhhh......ooooohhhh....this clown poster (baldass newbie clown) believes whatever the Corporate Fascist State feeds him.....because he's used to eating s**t and loving it (there term for that, BTW, is ball-less wonder, not baldass, clown!).
The leveraged speculated price of oil has absolutely nothing to do with anything, and most certainly not with the neofeudalist drive by Corporate Amerika! Are you a complete moron, or yet another Call Center spokesrat for N.A.M.???
And anyone with two neurons to rub together realizes that the criminal congress of the U.S. of A. is never going to pass "Employee Free Choice" ---- PERIOD!
"As living standards rise around the globe, labor will get more expensive.."
Puuuuhhhllease, you creeps from the National Association of Manufacturers, the Business Roundtable and the Financial Services Roundtable have been peddling this bulls**t forever at this site.
Give it a rest already, clowns!!!
Bully China into submission....what a complete load, doodette!!! You are a true slave labor supporter, clown, so just cut the propaganda, lowbrow deceiver....
Totalitarian Capitalist States and Corporate Fascist States are what you worship, so kindly STFU already....
"In the West we tend to believe that talent and ability is innate, and that your success in life will be down to the use of your gifts."
Nonsense! In the West we realize that it's all about the connections, who one is related to, connected with, descended from, that's already been researched over and over again, back to Jensen's work in the early 1970s.
Jensen ascertained that the principal causal factor in success in the U.S.A. was the family one was born into.
First, when one examines the typical city budget (in this case Seattle) you will note millions of dollars in a miscellanous account line; this is for all those damages paid out in lawsuits against the Seattle Police, the Seattle Utilities departments.
Secondly, I have long held that Cleve Stockmeyer is, hands down, the finest attorney in the Northwest. He was also the finest board member on the Seattle Monorail Project which, if Seattle wasn't even more riddled with corruption than even San Diego, we would actually have a city-wide monorail today, instead of continuing to be fleeced with millions of dollars in payouts due to the highly-paid Seattle police department and Seattle utilities people.
Thank the gods, they've finally found the two guys responsible for the global economic meltdown ----
OR NOT!!! Perhaps it was Bradley Birkenfeld, the UBS banker who attempted to out all those mega-rich American tax cheats to the US Treasury???? (Already in jail -- for 40 months for attempting to be a whistleblower - about the only real crime today in the USA). Say, whatever became of Robert Rubin, Maurice Greenberg, Hank Paulson, Alan Greenspan and the rest of those supercriminals?????

This is crucially important, big guy.

Be sure to send all your money to Wall Street...
They evidently heard of the infamous "Uncle Bob" interface written by Mrs. Microsoft (Melissa French Gates), and had to have it......
The only secret this tovarisch picked up was free yogurt, softdrinks and coffee at MS....
Well, at least they have city-wide monorails in all the cities with maglevs connecting city-to-city, right?????
You mean they still don't have even that??? Jesus H. on a Harley?!?!?!?
Well, at least Heinlein put them in a number of his books, Tunnel in the Sky, that Roads Must Roll, This Far Horizon, and several others.

postmortem, You are a complete and total idiot, uneducated in math, science, economics, and history. No reply to your post is required.
The US technically went bankrupt in 2004, and the majority of states, as mentioned, are insolvent.
ANYONE who even mentions the word "recovery" is an arithmetical and mathematical illiterate. Period!
You are soooo full of crap, I'm not even going to lower myself to respond to such idiotic nonsense....

Since multiple parties were knowingly involved, it should technically go down as a criminal conspiracy, one would think?

It was coded by Melinda Gates....name sound familiar to anybody out there???
Now that's a fun thought.....
If that's the way it should work, what about all those guys at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley. Hell, Citigroup is full of 'em....
