This I believe is the problem H1B visa utilization today. As long as the balance sheet at the end of the quarter shows that it was the better economical decision, then they will continue to use it as currently design. Its original intent was to bring in outside talent not available in the local work force and the minimum pay was a "fixed amount". THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
Instead of a fixed amount a percentage above the industry standard rate could effectively close this loophole as this could allow the company to get a person who has the skills currently at a higher rate than what they are paying an existing employee or a potential new employee.
Disney and others went a step further than that and had their current staff "train" the cheaper H1B visa holders as replacements, thus blatantly abusing the visa program as a whole.
Chaos is an understatement:P. Do we need to look at better methods as this country changes and advances, more than likely yes. Is there a better approach to fairly represent all the people while not favoring others, I would like to believe so and we should always strive to find a way to do it.
Keep more alert on protests
Yes, there were protests turned riot as determined by law enforcement. I am sure if I searched more I could find other examples it you would like?
Death threats to the electors is probably not the way to go in any civilized society.
Publishing the personal information of the electorates to the public is probably not the way to go.
Intimidation never works, it just enrages the person on the other end.
Applying pressure to electors is not going to work. It will just cause more rage in others in an already out of control situation.
What you are asking for is getting pretty close to being called a rebellion. It this what you really want?
Wow, your explanation doesn't even mention that this was the same tactic that brought down Nixon and the MSM of the time had no qualms using that information. Gotta call bullshit on the "obtained illegally" defense.
Well he did confirm it was a state-sponsored hacker. When did he say Russia. You are making assumptions not based on facts.
Check this link to discount your assumption. Who should we believe, the current appointment of Obama (who was involved), or a former deputy director of the State Department during multiple presidents both Dem. and Rep.?
This raises the question "was it state-sponsored"? Probably. And it very well may have been our own state-sponsored hackers.
Or conversely, this is nothing but the MSM deflecting blame on the horribly biased coverage for the past year and saying it is those dang pesky right wingers AGAIN! Just like the deplorable Russian hackers that stole the election.
Considering the above mentioned article came from the left leaning author, of course it is the right wingers fault. Some of his sources are coming from a documented bipartisan non-profit organization that gets their data from public records. Wait for it, public records will show this same group to now lean left pointing out waste in the right wing government soon to be in power.
This whole "fake news" assassination quest is actually pointing more to corporate sponsored censorship. While there are bogus sites reporting invalid information, this is up to the people to decide if it is bogus or not, not the corporate media (and yes Facebook is a media company that is why it is called "social media"). Can they refute the information? Fine, then publish the information that shows it for what it is and not just suppress it. This points out the much bigger issue of the current "Journalistic Integrity" being nothing more than another person's opinion and not fact.
Trying to shape the discussion by posting the expected opposite of this post? BOTH SHOULD BE modded as TROLL for that reason alone. WHO in the right or left mind would mod this as Funny?
As long as that is what your constituents want then more power to ya. Like I said, Congratulations!!! It would an honor to represent the people that you were selected by.
What's up with wanting to change the election laws because you did not win? Just hurry up and secede already so we do not have to put up with your crying and whining anymore.
I do not think this will change the electoral vote in any state that would change the election result. Remember it is not the popular vote that determines who is elected.
This again is another false statement. They stay 6-8 people in a two bedroom apartment (this I have seen). Since they are temporary workers, they must return to their country so they live a minimalist life here in the US and send most of the money back to their own country. So the net result is the money is leaving this country and it has gotten worse over the past 5-10 years. Couple that with one-sided trade agreements and you have even more. You are spouting nothing but Globalist crap that they are teaching in Business Administration degree programs which only emphasize short term gains over long term stability.
- They believe that employment is zero sum, that is, that the total number of jobs is fixed, so that if a foreigner gains a job, a U.S. citizen must necessarily lose a job. This is incorrect. Foreigners to not "steal" jobs from Americans. In fact, global employment levels can and do fluctuate.
Where the fuck have you been these last couple of years. Multiple employees have been replaced by foreign worker throughout various US companies. Many had to train the H1B replacements. Your statement is false!

Really????? A +4 Interesting on an AC post???? Quit moderating and posting as AC at the same time.
And to the right, fake news is the current MSM. What's the difference?
I would say bringing back journalistic integrity and not provide opinions would be a good start.
Considering that it was law enforcement with 25 arrests. Hmmm, no koolaid there.
Oh here is a different flavor of koolaid that you may consider valid
But I am going to have to still say that the Hillary solution is not answer. Sorry about that.

Geez, can someone mod this trash out of existence?

Simple solution, go to another advertising company. Oh there is not one? I smell a new start up for Thiel.
Hey, I got modded a troll for saying that earlier, watch it :P

Agreed, most of the fake news in the past year have been coming from CNN, MSNBC, etc..

LOL, ROFLMAO, etc. What a moronic thing to say you TROLL!
As long as that is what your constituents want then more power to ya. Like I said, Congratulations!!! It would an honor to represent the people that you were selected by.
Congratulations on being elected to represent your constituents!!! Just remember that when it comes time to cast your vote in the next election.
