Like every four to six months in the Seattle area, either the Sleaze-attle Times, or the Sleaze-attle Weekly, runs some such story about Only white males being in local IT, but there's a major problem: one looks at those companies they reference, and you see mostly brown-skinned doods from India. (Perhaps they consider themselves white, but they certainly aren't Americans yet, still foreign visa workers from abroad!
When I was in IT, before they stopped hiring me, I worked around plenty of women and minorities, but they were by and large American, while I look around at those companies now, all I see are foreign visa workers, and since around 50% or more of all new IT hires are foreign visa workers, I believe the real data bears me out.
Facing extradition to Sweden over allegations of rape, which he denies,
Excooooose me, but no human being has filed any rape complaint nor criminal complaint in Sweden against WikiLeaks' Julian Assange --- please try to report the news accurately!
Right up there with people driving off cliffs who pay attention to their GPS/Google maps, not to the road, and others getting run over while crossing the street staring at the i-Phones in their hands, while the driver is doing the same. What idiot uses something unnecessarily complicated to accomplish a simple task? A Brit, that's what idiot!
It sounds as if you are either agreeing with offshoring of jobs, and/or you are a complete and total idiot????? Either way, your comments are incoherent to the discussion.
Excellent summarization --- and that is essentially what the TPP is all about, the consolidation of the multinationals, the destruction of local and small businesses, and the destruction of workers' rights.
Yes, that may finally (emphasis on FINALLY) be the case, even though we've been hearing that pathetic and tedious meme since the 1970s, douchey, the offshoring of jobs and replacement of American workers with foreign visa scab workers is a major livelihood killer, just kindly just STFU and read two books: Outsourcing America, by Ron Hira and his brother, and Sold Out, by Michelle Malkin.
Back in the 1800s (factual history which has been almost completely revised) the workers laid off by those money trusts which were brining in Chinese workers by the boatloads to work the railroads, and yes, just as with the American workers who complained, the Chinese were literally worked to death) the starving workers had several options: attack the well-armed thugs at the work camps freezing them out (which they did, and many perished) or next attack the scab workers (those imported Chinese, which they did, along with getting Socialists voted in who passed an exclusion act --- always called racist, seldom ever correctly explained as labor history). The only recourse today is exactly the same . . . .
Thanx, meta-monkey, intelligent comments are becoming so few and far between at this site. At least at the jfkfacts.org site (and boingboing.net, and commondreams.org, and rawstory.com, and so many others) they delete all my comments and block me!
thanks for a most well-informed and logical and practical response to the typical comeback. These samo discussions with the trolls at/., whose parent company just loves offshoring jobs, are most tedious!
. . . ignoring and never addressing the problems, claiming the Reaganesque cowboy solutions which are all bullcrap, sonny! STFU and hand over your government contracting fees for simpleton trolling! NOW!
Exactly what has happened here in the Seattle area with Sen. Maria Cantwell (WA-Neocon) and Patty Murray (WA-Neocon), faux crats up the wazoo! They say the companies HAVE TO OFFSHORE THE JOBS TO COMPETE, or to replace American workers with foreign visa workers to compete, etc., yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah, and shove more corporate money up my skankhole! That's why a plane needs to be flown into congress and the supremecy court!
Yahoo is so fooked up on sooo many levels, anything is now believable about it, especially ever since Jerry Yang handed over pro-democracy activists to the Chinese government to be disappeared --- effing jackhole, burn in Hell forever!!!! This reminds me of that story in the business section of USA Today back around 2002 or thereabouts, when all the males in an IT department of a corporation were being replaced by foreign visa workers --- the women workers were all quiet about it, until they began replacing them with foreign visa workers, then they started screaming, but the judge ruled against them for whatever treasonous and obscene reason. Since 1999, America has been a net importer of tech services, and around half or more of new IT hires today are foreign visa workers. What's that Martin Feldstein? What's that Obama? You say there's full employment today? Perhaps of foreigners in America, there is, douchetards . . . .
A "blistering report" by the insider trading, lyingist douchetards who never, ever went after the banksters for all their perfidy, but instead still enable them as they receive their filthy payoffs. Too bad that fourth flight didn't fly into congress on 9/11!

These aren't new technology breakthroughs, flying cars have been around for awhile, and there's nothing particularly radical about Uber, AirBnB, nor TaskRabbit, LawTrades or HouseCall, they are simply using apps to get around regulated industries and taxes --- a scam, which was why France jailed some top Uber executives, etc.
Virtually all the real progress extends from the NASA Moon project, instituted by the Kennedy Administration, as was the Internet, which allows for the Web to exist today. No administration since then, en thrall to the banksters, has been about progress --- more anti-progress, but pro-kleptoPlutocarcy!
I've read quite a bit about Musk [including his somewhat well-to-do upbringing] and must agree fully with Bruce Perens' comment --- and Musk just isn't that impressive in the so-called genius or brilliance department.
Every single time there's a blog posting like this, we see this same exact response, different signon, same bullcrap! Only a complete idiot would accept this drivel. Of course they only hire younger and younger as they increasingly offshore jobs, replace American workers with foreign visa replacement workers (whether tech, science R&D, engineering or when Thai farm workers were flow in to replace the newly laid off American and undocumented farm workers in the states of Washington, California and Hawaii, or Chinese construction workers were flown into Idaho for bridge construction work there) - - - this is their endgame, end of discussion.

Calling Hillary (or any Clinton or Rodham or Obama) a democrat is akin to call Hitler a moderate Nazi --- Shillary is neocon through and through!

TIAA, or is it called the Software Alliance now? Or the National Association of Manufacturers? Or the Business Roundtable. Douchetard! Traitor scum!

They would simply bring the Tata Consultancy, haven't you read a single newspaper over the past 20 years, douchey???????
Vermonter with the silly question, try to get a place to live, or any jobs, without a reference! Just try it, Vermonter . . .
