    Perhaps this article: "Importing lower wages as 75% of Silicon Valley’s tech workers are foreign-born: How tech manipulates the H-1B visa program for cheap labor." http://www.mybudget360.com/h1b...

    But feel free to talk out of your ass.

  5. What did you expect when you use child labor....

  6. No Apple does not pay their taxes. Apple is hold revenue off their books in order to not pay taxes. Apple also has elaborate shell business that hide their revenues. http://prospect.org/article/pr...

  11. Or Apple starts to shrink it profit margins because people would be unwilling to pay an inflated price over an already inflated price.

    They still do not have an incentive since some states cast more votes than others. You only need to win a handful of states to win the presidency.

    Seriously study history moron. The electoral college has nothing to do with the logistics of vote counting.

  19. Re:yes they should on Slashdot Asks: Should The US Abolish The Electoral College? · · Score: 1

    And your reason is wrong. The Electoral College was not created because you are a citizen of a state. The founding fathers did not want to elect the president based on popular vote. Period. Other interesting fact, the delegates that are selected to vote in the Electoral College DO NOT have to vote for the candidate that won their state.

    The argument in favor of the Electoral College has to do with population. The argument goes candidates couldn't just campaign in a handful of states with large populations. The flaw with that argument has to do with the number of votes each state has. It's determined by the number of representatives, which is determined by population. If they changed it to one per state, then candidates would have to campaign in a hell of lot more states.

    However, it should be national vote. Heck you might actually see a larger voter turn out. If you knew your vote counted more, you might vote.

  20. What tech? From a manufacturing stand point none of it is made here. Then of course most of the workers are H1B Visa holders or the work is outsourced. So not much of a jobs employer. And as for paying taxes, what taxes. Cupertino has been trying to get Apple to pay more in taxes to help pay for infrastructure costs.

    And without water, you aren't growing much.

    Move along Potsy.

  21. LMOL tell that to all the other food producing state moron. How's that drought working out for you...
