If Lightsquared weren't run and funded by an Obama campaign bundler with deep Democrat party ties their proposal never would have made it past the "submitted on paper" stage.

If the FCC approves this they have abdicated their primary purpose of preventing interference. These frequencies were never intended for 4G or cell service of any kind.

That is the whole purpose of the Constitution. There are certain things that even the vote of a majority is not allowed to do, such as deprive others of their right to express ideas, even if the majority find them repugnant.

If only they'd had the foresight to extend it to disallowing the majority to vote to pilfer the property of others, but I digress...

Not to mention the fraud and abuse involved with H1B would put Solyndra and "Fast and Furious" to shame. I once worked at a company that started bringing in H1B's.

They are required to CLAIM that they are paying prevailing market wages to the H1B employee. They never do. One guy they brought in, they claimed was being paid $50K/year. He was actually making less than half that.

Who could he complain to? He'd be deported if he did. This paperwork is NEVER audited by government either.

The biggest reform we need (besides the slave wage H1B) is that we need to start considering the labor and environmental regulations of countries that products are imported from and labor is offshore to.

It is unfair for American business and industry to have the competitive DISADVANTAGE of our environmental and labor laws while products and services produced in places where producers can belch black smoke at will and pay far below American market rates for labor can be freely imported. There should be tariffs imposed that balance the playing field, so that American based companies have a level playing field... IN OUR OWN MARKET.

It's a threat that will eventually bring down every company that does it. It is a cheat, a dodge used to avoid paying market rate for wages while still depending on the market you are taking the jobs away from to remain strong enough to buy your product (which is likely too expensive to sell in the off shore market where you are underpaying for labor).

Ergo: Every company that uses offshoring depends on EVERYONE ELSE to not do the same so that there is still a market for their product. Eventually everyone will offshore in order to not get undercut in price, to the point where Americans no longer make a wage sufficient to keep the economy afloat so that there is sufficient money in the economy to allow the purchase of the offshored product.

In other words, it's ultimately a self-destructive strategy that will end in dragging down first world markets to third world economic levels. We may already be past that critical point, looking at the perpetual recession we are in.

LOL. Moderated down by a Facebook lemming in denial no doubt. Go get your personal identity stolen. Go get your computer infected by a virus. The only thing Zuckerberg cares about is making as much money as he can off your information. Which is why he doesn't give a damn about security or keeping viruses off their web pages.

Facebook is a website I refuse to have any relationship with. I do not have an account, nor will I EVER have an account. Their management is easily the most evil and anti-customer in the industry, constantly taking actions against their user's best interest.

This should surprise no one. I block their cookies in my browser and never intentionally go there.

I keep trying to tell the lemmings I know who pour their intimate personal information into Facebook that it is foolish to do so. The website's name should be "InfectMyPCWithAVirus.COM", or "StealMyIdentity.COM".

Zuckerberg better sell the damn thing before the inevitable class action lawsuit consumes the millions he's made off exploiting his customers. Of course, I hope he doesn't, he is one asshole I would very much love to see bankrupted and forced to get an honest job somewhere. I bet he ends up at Sony, developing rootkits...

I've not bought a Ubisoft game since they introduced this DRM, despite the fact that they've released some that I wanted to get.

I think it's time for a new kind of boycott: Not only not buy games from companies that do this, but go out of my way to get the DRM free pirated version.

Simple. Follow the money. Look for people with George Soros ties or other ties to the current thugocracy in Washington.

They wouldn't be so blatant about it if they didn't think they could pull it off: pay us off or you won't get government work because we have "friends".

Ex government employees should be barred from lobbying for at least 10 years.
