It’s not India asking the American government to sponsor Indians. It’s American companies asking the American government to sponsor Indians. They recruit those workers. Then when they are here with their spouses and children, yet again it’s not India asking the American government to offer work visas to their spouses.…

Right but that exploding opportunity of jobs is almost entirely either foreign companies, start ups or partnerships which are often a combo of the two. So any of them could’ve offered your spouse a visa if your spouse qualified. To say that Indian government should provide a similar just carte blanche work visa that…

Yup it’s a hard place to live as an expat. It’s also in the last third in terms of global wealth whereas US is overwhelming number one. (not top third, but first out of all). So while I know how hard it is to live there, having done it off and on my life, it’s also silly to compare the two in terms of issuing work…

Yes you are getting really close to a core truth here about the way private companies function in global capitalism. But the solution isnt to make it even harder for people to cross borders but rather to regulate the companies in the first place. Either capital can cross borders and so can people, or the opposite.

Math and science upper level, including specialty classes. Also while teacher shortage in other areas mostly is not a problem, teacher retention in some schools is. The working conditions, pay and discipline problems are so bad in some schools that they used to bring in a lot of teachers from Southern India to fill…

Yes, twice in that article it made it sound like the greencards were just sitting somewhere ready to be mailed out.

Tech workers are already moving abroad.

Seriously. Maybe it’s because I’m old enough to remember the Dukakis campaign.

There is a real vibrant grassroots movement all across the country- doing actual real organizing work in workplaces, neighborhoods, community meetings, town halls, schools. If she gave even a single flying fuck at all, she could be using her resources and fame to help. But she can’t help that because she’s deeply…

Seriously. There are legit criticisms of Hilary & her roles in the DNC that people won’t acknowledge. These are actually damaging to the future of the country. Likewise, there are decades worth of bullshit conspiracy theory hatred of Hilary that is not her fault at all, but it’s insanely non-strategic to run a…

I stopped keeping up with the overblown Russia thing months ago, so I’m sorry if I’m out of the loop here, but at that time, all the stuff they leaked or promoted on social media or RT were factually true. Has it come out that they played a role in all the crazy conspiracy stuff too (pizzagate, etc)?

Honestly, what has she done that is brilliant?

No, the only campaign promise I wish Donald had kept was the “lock her up” stuff. If you lose an election to a game show host, you should go to jail.

omg I wish she’d shut up and go away.

Dude, I don’t GAF about Woody Allen and Dylan. If he molested her, that makes him a double creep. If he didn’t, I’m sorry for her difficult upbringing nonetheless. I don’t know these people and I don’t give a fuck other than a general sense of wishing people free from harm.

I didn’t say she was a child. I said she was his partner’s child. In fact, I said repeatedly “daughter” and that she was a legal adult. I only said “partner’s child” once, and now you are feigning incomprehension at the way people use basic words. Saying that someone is someone’s child is not the same as calling…

Oh fuck off with that pedantry. We aren’t talking about legal definitions here. We are talking about the fact that it’s disgusting to fuck the daughter of your lover and the sister of your children.

You might make some of your good points better if you don’t play stupid about why people would be outraged that a step-father has an affair with his teenage step-daughter while still in a relationship with her mother. It’s disgusting and worthy of condemnation, and to pretend this is the same thing as “an affair” is a…

The metoo movement is bigger than actors. The hypocrisy with Allen and Polanski is not a problem with the metoo movement. It’s a problem with Hollywood.

Wait a minute... You think the reason she’s angry at Woody because he’s in a relationship with a younger woman? Or because he cheated on her with a younger woman?
