I didn't infer it from basically nothing. I was curious because instead of actually discussing the issue your last few posts have been about other nations and how they're either worse than us, right around us or how they do things as shitty as us. I was asking to find out if you actually are using that as some kind of excuse or you're just rambling on about other places in the world.

I'll be sure to alert you specifically the next time that I mention a factoid as an aside. Now, if you'll excuse me for a few minutes, I have a Weibull distribution to calculate.

But this is okay, right? They found people willing to do the work for less. Unregulated free market's benefits at work! (Of course, someone will chime in telling me how it is regulated; too regulated, etc. etc. If not for those regulations the other workers could have kept their jobs at reduced rates and it would have been more fair still!)

If you got rid of minimum wage, everybody would have a job!

Yeah, I recall reading about that not too long ago. A damn good reason as to why they need to get money out of politics. We have tech people here, we don't need to bring more in from India.

We have some of the most lax immigration laws of the civilized world, from what I understand. Yet somehow no matter what we do about immigration -- tighten or loosen -- someone's pissed.

And to be fair, I understand why. It's not an easy issue.

And they could get paid in company credits and we could make a company store where they could spend them! And they could live in our housing, on our terms!

We could entirely sustain them!

That would be so good for everyone involved!

I'm not complaining about immigration. I'm complaining about companies bribing congress to be able to issue more H1 visas claiming that there isn't enough people in the US for tech fields, just to pull ***like this.

Oh, yeah. Sorry. I didn't explain my thought process well.

There are several European countries where if you want to move there you've got to prove you provide a service either 1) not available from current citizens or 2) that you can perform it better.

yeah...be careful while being somewhere else.

he was telling me to *** off but I never understood what wooden nickels had to do with it.

he never won any world's kindest grandpa awards. I remember my evil grandmother telling me not to bother gramps because his game was on

when will the game be over?

tomorrow
