Comment American has bought into the H-1B propaganda (Score 2) 226

There are clearly too few jobs for the STEM field majors who graduate, but those who want cheaper labor have a much louder mouthpiece for their viewpoint. The media loves to compare the scores of every single 12th grader in the US to those select few in other countries who are going on to an engineering school, and then talk about how terrible we are doing in math. The comparisons are ridiculous.

Comment The powers that be are massively anti-worker (Score 1) 375

For example, when we were losing 500,000 per month during this recession (October 2008), Meg Whitman calls for 500,000 new H1Bs a year (they are typically for several years, so this would mean millions of new H1Bs). Instead of being ostracized for being so blatently anti-worker, the California Republican party actually nominated her for governor in 2010, along with Carly offshore Fiornia for Senator.

The right wing goes after the stupid voters.
Part of their platform is anti-intellectualism.

Its pretty fucked up.

The left wing goes after poor people's votes by promising them goodies we can no longer afford (if we ever really could.)

So yeah, it's pretty fucked up, but it's a bi-partisan process.

The right-wing goes after well-connected elite's votes by delivering them massive no-bid military contracts that we could never afford in the first place.
