Why hire American when you can bring someone to America, pay them minimum wage, claim they're tipped to bring that down even further, and if they complain, fire them and let the State Department deport 'em?
Well, that approach certainly creates the indentured servitude like system with all the requisite atmosphere of anxiety and fear that modern executives seem consider is essential to the smooth running of a modern corporation.
He could no longer be the Annoying Orange if he didn't.
No, he'd be the Annoying Olive one if the turned green as well.

Trump and entire MAGA movement watches, turns green with envy.
I'm guessing there's no provisions in this new legislation/regulation to take into consideration whether there are viable replacement "green" or renewable energy sources available AND online before shutting down any of these existing and functional coal powered plants....?
I mean, turning everything off before replacements are online is a bit foolish, no....?
There are. Practically everything on the market is verifiably better than coal, including nuclear and natural gas.
So the Chinese tech sector is going through the: "We're cultivating our image as young and dynamic company by lowering our average employee age." phase. This was a big thing in the west during the dot-com bubble, It was also one of those 'innovative corporate strategies' that turned out to be dumb a shit.
It appears that the top Women Who Code executives all are top 10% in income (or higher) and spending ~20% of their total budget on executive pay got noticed.
If their spouse / partner works, they would be in the top 5% or higher of household incomes in Atlanta, GA.
Nonprofits like these are a home for children who grew up in wealthy households, got liberal degrees at named universities and want to have a political or social advocacy movement.
This is all from public information easily available.

All of this looks like standard practice for denizens of Corporate America. Why do you hate capitalism so much?
How exactly has a non-profit helped women get jobs in tech fields? Honest question. I'm okay with their motives, but I'm confused as to how they functionally helped anyone.
Well, according to the summary they: "... had held more than 20,000 events and given out $3.5m in scholarships" and that last one should qualify quite easily as 'functionally helping someone'.
I think they are simply the useful idiots for a PR-aware terrorist group. Netanyahu is a soldier turned politician desperate to avoid jail for corruption during his previous terms.
Replace 'soldier' with 'scumbag'. Other than that I completely agree.
Legal protests are fine. If you want to stand on the sidewalk and complain about some injustice, have at it. However, if you're going to block traffic, destroy property, or trespass on private property, sorry, that's no bueno.
So in your opinion those involved in the Boston teaparty, an act of patriotic protest deeply admired by Americans today, should have been strung up by the British and publicly flogged or something?
Lets hope this time Boeing's penalty is high enough to make it change its ways. And maybe a bit of real jail time for execs that allowed this to happen. Maybe that will change the US "Wall Street First" Culture.
In the US system it is always easier to bribe your way out of trouble than it is to make changes and it's neither hard nor expensive to do so. Now, if anybody thinks I'm unfairly criticising the US here I'm not. Have any of the people that almost crashed the world economy back in 2007-8 served a day in jail? Anywhere in the world? The last time I looked it was 47 of them. Out of these 27 were convicted in Iceland, 11 in Spain, 7 in the Irish Republic. Everywhere else the list does not top one individual and that includes the USA. These people are protected and punishing them would set a 'dangerous precedent'. Boeing executives will bail out of Boeing in a jewel encrusted golden parachute straight into a gated community in one of US America's internal tax havens and live a life in the lap of luxury never wasting a single thought on the people who died in the 737 crashes because they'll break too busy bribing their idiot kids' way into an Ivy League college and coming up with some new and more innovative way of destroying what's left of the US manufacturing industry.
What I read from the summary: Canada has imported the "vote-a-rama" from the "reconciliation" bill process from the United States Senate.
Enjoy shooting down your nonsense amendments that only exist to waste time, filibuster, and produce "gotcha" votes that partisan hacks can use in their partisan communication to partisan tribal voters about how CORRUPT AND EVIL the incumbent is for voting against some totally irrelevant-to-the-legislation pet issue amendment that never had a chance to get serious consideration because it's an unserious proposal that wouldn't survive debate.
You're welcome, Canada!
It does not speak highly of the Canadian conservatives or any other political party anywhere else in the world that they took a look at how the US Congress works these days, and particularly the playbook of the MAGA caucus, and saw a awesome way to run a country. If the US Congress is anything these days, it is a working demonstration of everything any National Assembly with a lick of sense should never do.
No one cares. This is no different than those 'plagiarism detectors' that are all the rage these days. Students will just make changes until their work falls under whatever threshold they need to satisfy the system.
Until we're willing to completely rethink assessment, this is as good as it gets.
Oh, they'll get a way with it right up until the detection technology improves a few years later, they get exposed and find themselves in a world of shit. The ability to think more than zero steps ahead actually counts for something.
Huh. Then the Tories are right on this one.
Yes, peculiarly enough they are giving up on their long time favourite tactic of doing crap the that pleases their donors but pisses off the British public off and are instead trying the desperate move of doing something the electorate actually likes. Let's see how much good that does them chewing up the 23 percent lead the Labour Party has on the Tories opinion polls.
Ministers are considering banning the sale of smartphones to children under the age of 16 after a number of polls have shown significant public support for such a curb.
