It is quite similar to what the Nazis wanted to do. Not the Holocaust, but Lebensraum - they wanted to remove the 'inferior' Slavs from the land they wanted to occupy. Just like what Israel is trying to do now to the Palestinians (with none of the German 'efficiency').

The problem right now is that the West Bank and Gaza are in a kind of limbo. They aren't part of Israel (so the inhabitants don't get any rights as citizens) and they aren't allowed to become a separate state (if they try they get bombed and 'settled' some more). So Israel should decide what it wants to do, not just keep killing civilians whenever some religious idiots decide to fire of more rockets.
If it wants the land ,it should give the inhabitants citizenships and enforce it's laws - not by bombing innocents but by actually occupying and policing everything.
If it does not want to do that it should get out of the area completely. Not just say that they left and leave the hundreds of miles of fences and checkpoints everywhere so the people can't even go to work without being harrased.

What does that have to do with anything? Does one side (well one side and people vaguely similar to them) being brutal to their people entitle the other side to slaughter even more of those people?

Are the rockets even targeted? And if they are, are they accurate enough that knocking it off course is a good thing?

I'd make it so that they have to pay the H1B worker at least as much as the highest salary in the company (and any parent companies). After all, if there are no workers with that level of skill available the skill should be extremely valuable as a result (supply/demand). And since they did manage to find a CEO, the new worker should get more then the CEO.

And that's kind of the point - selective enforcement of laws.

What about laws? Are Microsoft Ireland employees allowed to transfer the data if it's against the laws of Ireland? If they are not, then replacing them won't change anything - the new employees won't be allowed to do it either.

But is Microsoft Ireland the same corporation as Microsoft US?

If I'm unable to (legally) get something I truly need, then yes. And I don't think the prices in the stores would increase all that much - other countries would be happy to sell food to the US for less than it would cost to grow/pick it with legal US workers.

Pay me enough and I'll work in the fields.

Why are the laws of supply and demand suddenly forgotten when it comes to paying workers? If you're having a hard time getting someone to pick your crops then offer more money.

Correction: They are performing jobs that others don't want AT THAT PAY. Offer 100$/hr to scrub toilets and you'll get plenty of candidates for the job.

And I'm sure the Native Americans were thrilled about being able to set those immigration laws.

It's the capitalism we've got. The theoretical perfect capitalism would function without bribes, but then so would the theoretical perfect socialism.

There is another problem here - auto translation. The people talking to the bot could have been thinking they are reading the computer translated text of a human.

Does China currently have any incentive to buy the cleaner technology? Upgrading would cost money and even for new factories the new tech is probably going to be more expensive then what they currently use.
In fact implementing this tariff could be the thing that convinces them to start buying the cleaner tech.
