I have nothing to back this up but I feel like we would have enough housing if we didn’t have things like 55 million H1Bs, millions if foreign university students, an 40-80 million illegals.

clarification CCI Quiets are good through barrels shorter than 24". most 22LRs are never gonna be that long

Super Colibris have a warning on the box that says for handgun use only.

I was planning to break a 48 fast this evening. should I just stretch it to 72+?

Some have come to believe that Americans are above all sorts of jobs

Do people really believe that recent college tech grads don't want to work in their field of study?

All around my industry I see fewer and fewer people share the same culture, beliefs, experiences, and values as I do. Many other Americans are experiencing the same. It hard not to see the effects of what is going on an economic and moral level. In this global economy’s race to provide the most value to their respective share holders many Americans are losing out on the American dream.

I used to laugh at the South Park “they took our job” joke. Now it’s reality and is effecting white collar and blue collar families all the same.

Adding some additional info. Companies that higher H1Bs have to prove no American wanted that position first by publicly making a job listing available. Jobs.now aggregates all those posting together in one spot. If an American apply for that job meant for an H1B they have to offer an American that job. This royal screws the company that posted the job opening as they can now long offer slave wages to those H1Bs willing to work for next to nothing.

Amazing how it's always killing jobs and not minimally reducing the bonuses and golden parachutes of upper management

what it doesn't says is that those 8k domestic workers will be replaces by remote workers in India

It's all so tiresome. Why does it seem every app, service, software includes subscription base pay plans. Yes, I understand that it is more profitable to the service's shareholders. Nonetheless, subscriptions have turned once free or pay once things into things requiring years long payments. The smart TV remote app that was $2 yesterday is now $2.99/month or $22.99/ year. end rant.



What other things can you think of that make no sense being subscription based? (please leave wife/mothers/daughters out of this discussion)
