99% of those jobs are fake H1B visa scam postings, and the remaining 1% are earmarked for internal promotion purposes only.
THIS, a thousand times THIS! Anyone who has ever had to look for work in a city where they don't have any contacts can tell you that job postings are beyond worthless. People see all those postings and think that means that there are plenty of real jobs available. But almost none of those postings are real jobs that a person on the street can actually apply for and get. The days when companies posted real jobs and hired in good faith from the resulting applicants are as long gone as the days of rotary phones and cigarette machines.
These days in the U.S., if you suggest that it might be a good thing to support an American console company like Microsoft, everyone glares at you like you just said "I love Hitler" and kicked a puppy. But the Japanese will almost always support their own companies over foreign competitors. It's nice to know there is still at least one country in the word that supports its own (even if everyone actually manufactures their consoles in China).
For those who don't get the Disney reference, the implication is that the 1998 Copyright Extension Act (sponsored by Hollywood-owned Congressman Sono Bono), was really the brainchild of Disney, as part of an ongoing effort to keep their earliest cartoon and cartoon characters (most notably Mickey Mouse) from ever entering the public domain. Disney was also suspected by many to be behind the Copyright Act of 1976, which had extended the term previously. Steamboat Willie, the first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse, was created in 1928 and, with each of these new laws, always stays just outside of ever entering into public domain.
Bullshit. There have been a significant number of cops killed in ambush style killings this year alone, increasingly often by people who've bought into the "anti-fascist"/anti-cop rhetoric of the left. And additionally, racially-motivated killings happen all the time against whites as well, you just will never hear them identified as such by the media because when it's a white victim, it's *never* treated as a hate crime by the media or government (even if the perpetrators are screaming racial epithets as they attack the person).
our kid who you are apparently teaching that being a white male in America is somehow unfair and he should act like a victim.
No, I'm teaching him that pre-judging ANYONE on the basis of their race or gender is a bad thing. Maybe you're teaching your kid that it's okay to always villianize or mock a particular race or gender, just as long as it's white people or men. Seems to be the consensus in Hollywood lately, and certainly at Disney.
No, not particularly. But I'm not paying $50-$80 to take my kid to a movie that teaches him to be ashamed of himself for being born a white male either.
Here are the cinematic options that Hollywood gives me today:
1) Superhero sequel #2986--this time with slightly improved explosions 2) Disney movies where men/boys are always either the buffoon or the villain 3) Indie darlings about black/gay/lesbian/transsexuals fighting evil white people over slavery/oppression 4) Remake of decent movie that you liked 20 years ago, but now with an all-woman cast and much shittier writing!
Now which should I spend $50-$80 to take my wife and son to, when I could just stream something at home on my 4K home theater?
How about America? A comic that Marvel promoted the hell out of, written by an openly virulent man-hating anti-white racist? This was a comic from Marvel, mind you (not some indie company), which featured a superhero who attacked white people and men in every issue--a comic from Marvel that portrayed white men as the ultimate villains in society.
Hey, remember when comic books used to have a broad market, including both kids and adults? Well, would anyone in their RIGHT FUCKING MIND want their kid reading America?
Of course, NYC assumes their experience is typical. But where I'm at, EVERYONE still uses cash. It actually annoys me, because it takes time to make change. I'm actually surprised when I see someone else (like myself) paying with a debit card. Cash is still king here.
At least it's not as bad as it was in the 1980's in Miami, though. Back then, with all the drug smugglers, *everything* in that city ran on cash. People bought cars and mansions with suitcases full of cash (and banks, realtors, and car dealerships never asked where it came from, of course). It was a very strange place to be.
1) Possible Russian and Chinese spyplanes and experimental aircrafts. 2) To find out what the public knew about OUR spyplanes and experimental aircrafts.
Oh that is the lamest attempt at making a distinction I think I've ever witnessed. I'm actually ashamed for you that you've even sunk to that.
You could just as easily say that Damore was obligated to support Google's existing diversity policy, which he declined to do.
Face it, you're a hypocrite. You're no different than the conservative s who screamed "Not my President!" and espoused all that birther/Obama-is-a-secret-muslim horseshit when Obama was President and now bemoan the liberals doing that same ugly shit with Trump. You're the first person to defend any action against conservatives, and the first person screaming bloody murder when the same exact rules are used against liberals.
If the NFL mandated diversity training for all its players and one player declined to participate and was fired, you would be the first person in line to scream that the NFL was perfectly within their rights to fire him. But the second a LIBERAL player is fired for refusing to do something you don't like, or a bakery refuses to bake a cake for a gay wedding, then suddenly private companies are absolutely obligated to respect their employees' and customers' rights.

Abortions are not free in Sweden. You pay a nominal fee for any doctor's visit if you're an adult. An abortion will run you roughly 70 Euros
Yeah, but they do give you a punch card and the 10th one is free.

Those wages will also decrease as the supply of applicants increase.
Yeah, that's Google's plan. Why do you think Google and every other tech giant is pushing so hard for everyone to learn CS?

Maybe they will bring back those shitty Divx players that killed them last time.
The corporations give the orders, the Congressmen follow them. Understood?

Here is an interesting article on the subject.
Americans killed by anti-fascists: 0

Because today it's terrorism, tomorrow it's someone who criticizes Islam or says that Brexit is a good thing.
does it really bother you that much?

Yeah, too bad people don't BUY diversity comic books in the real world.

And John McClain just tweeted that he's about to pick his wife up from the airport!
Me write stuff that make computers go.
They were investigating:
1) Possible Russian and Chinese spyplanes and experimental aircrafts.
2) To find out what the public knew about OUR spyplanes and experimental aircrafts.
It's a handheld. The dock is just so Nintendo can gracefully exit the console business while saving face.
I'm a different man than I was 6 months ago when I fucked your best friend. I've grown SOOO much since then!
And build more cars.
He's an IMPOSTER I tell you!
A way to distinguish the one prediction that's going to be right from the millions that aren't.

Google fires James Damore for writing a conservative memo.
Liberals: It's a private company, they're not obligated to respect his free speech rights.
The NFL fires Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the anthem
Liberals: THEY VIOLATED HIS RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!!
