Comment So if you have duelling border cities.. (Score 3, Interesting) 125

So, what then for cases like Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington? They both are reasonably sized cities which border each other on a state line, effectively creating a single metropolitan area. Many sleep in Vancouver, yet live their lives in Portland; and, of course, vice versa.

You forgot to mention personality. And I'm not talking about "I figured out his personality from the interviews"... I'm talking about really getting to know someone. That is the primary key (if you will) to creating relationships in the workplace. Because it's not just a workplace. It's a place where you and I work with others, and we, in reality, do more than work. If I had to choose, I'd take someone with less "expert" math knowledge, and more "expert" personality.

Good points. What about a hypothetical painter (who has a perfect photographic memory) painting key frames of their own experiences, transcribing all relevant conversations, and associating those transcriptions with the painted frames? Is that equivalent to videotaping? What if they didn't transcribe the audio, and just painted? I'm not arguing for any side; I'm just thinking out loud...

If they weren't working in the US they would be doing the same work for US companies overseas. Visas allow the workers to work here where they also contribute more to the US economy as well as US society. They might also start companies and create jobs. True, wages may fall in the short-term, but having a larger educated and working population will help us in the long run.

Does that scale to the point where there are no more whites in America? I'm not claiming that case to be good or bad, by the way; I'm claiming it as a thought exercise.
