Travelled to all 50 States, 40+ Countries, and 5 Continents.

Lived overseas for 17+ years.

My assumption is that due to oil, half the baws on this board have worked offshore or in Africa, Asia, or the Middle East.

I'm very fortunate to have experienced all that I have but I didn't need 10 trips to India to know that they suck or 10 trips to Japan to know how awesome they are.

I would love to see a mandatory High School field trip to Africa. Especially for African Americans.

Firing Kimmel was a mercy killing, doing ABC a favor

There are ways to get it paid for.

Especially with high school dual credit these days, JuCo, etc.

Nevermind GI Bill, etc.

I'm not saying everyone has to spend 4 years on campus and join a fraternity/sorority.

But, I can tell you that in the Tech field, I see non-college grads with experience who can do good work. But, the college grad is a safer bet.

And we're all competing against offshore / outsourcing these days so, we've got to be as productive as we can if we want to keep Americans employed in 6 figure jobs.

Did those guys stop and destroy a Waymo driverless vehicle?

Think of the possibilities of summoning driverless Ubers/Waymo cars to a location during a riot.

Exactly.

Yes H-1B hires have to get paid comparable wages but they're willing to take a $150,000/yr job in the Silicon Valley that nobody in their right mind would take due to the cost of living.

But they'll live 4 men in a 2bdr apartment that costs $4,500/mo.

It's not that Americans won't take the job, it's that they won't take it at that price in that high cost of living location.

The other side of the coin is that some employers really like holding their visa sponsorship over their head so they don't jump ship.

The whole program is being abused and should probably be cancelled.

Squirrels for Trump

I think Lawrence in Office Space said it best - "Watch out for your cornhole"

I haven't been back to 5 Guys since peak scamdemic when I was doing some "essential worker" work in Phoenix in July 2020.

You could go inside their air conditioned restaurant to order but you had to eat outside in the 107F heat.

I almost gave up that site during COVID when the moderation was out of hand.

I like TD for the true free speech over here. Don't have that same TexAgs worry about what comments will due to recruiting.

One lesson I learned over there is that their moderators do not tolerate anything that might paint the Gee At Why agenda in a negative light.

No Quarter will be given to Medical workers, Education workers, Journalists or Politicians who wanted to ruin my livelihood because I refused to participate in big pharma's medical experiment.

Remember the slogan about "get the vax and get your life back"?
