Here is some video of the research done on that:

They've added security after the recent mishap.

I'll check around with the recruiters I know to see if they have any admin positions they are aware of as well as any internal boards. Sounds like you are doing the right things.

I don't know what your situation is but I can tell you Detroit has a huge demand for tech workers. Ford and GM are hiring a lot of tech workers causing a supply shortage of skilled tech workers in the area. I get calls from recruiters all the time looking for people in the area and recruiters are telling me they are having a hard time filling positions. Don't bother with with job boards and instead make sure you have a LinkedIn account visible to recruiters and post your resume to the local hiring firms.

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of the internet. The Web 2.0 was the technology to own. Then the other guy came out with a Web 3.0. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called Web 4.0. That's Web 3.0 + 1. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to Web 5.0. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling Web 4.0. Suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to Web 6.0!

You make an excellent point. Unfortunately it is undermined by posting anonymously. A post that makes the point that individuals should be willing to lose it all should not be sent from the shadows of anonymity.

I don't see any obvious IT related industry donors from the past that might be influencing her (who knows about now). She is on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee so thats probably where it came from. Strange.

I'm sorry...I don't want to see how it looks or play with your PyPy. I will most definitely NOT click on your online demo to show your "Assembler".

I haven't personally tried these but I'm tempted to pick one up and test it out.

I second this nomination, he might not be young in age but he is definitely has done a lot of cool stuff.

Both examples are optional procedures. The real competition isn't with other vets and LASIK practitioners but with the customer's choice to perform said procedures. When it comes to life saving health care people don't look at the cost. Unless people are unwilling to pay X amount of money for life saving procedures and walk out the door (assuming you can in an emergency), health care will always be expensive unless other regulatory limiters bring it down.

I wouldn't worry about people emigrating....odds are they would move to a country with a government run health care system anyway...they just don't realize it. Even Rush made that mistake with this quote:

By the way, Costa Rica has a health care system subsidized by the state:

..and with the way real estate prices have gone in the U.S. they won't be moving anytime soon. In 5 years they'll have forgotten about what they were bitching about anyway.

Ah, no...they would be 7th as the U.S. landed 6 times on the moon despite all of those self-centered attitudes and special interest agendas in those days.

We need to work in our local cities and communities to retrofit our urban designs so that we aren't forced into a very expensive lifestyle.
Two great sources to start:
