U mad bro?

What? Uwe Boll challenging people to boxing matches?

I felt a disturbance in the force.. As if millions of critics cried out, and were suddenly challenged to a boxing match.

At least Lucas won't be in charge anymore.

Well, yes and no. Leftists support a position of empowerment for ordinary citizens. This is different from Libertarianism because people on the left would support, for instance, unionization over corporate control, environmental initiatives over industrial interests, and public healthcare over employer-provided insurance.

Most H1Bs *are* from developing nations like India and China. $150k, invested wisely, would provide acomfortable living in the countryside of such a nation for life. That is, of course, beside the point; regardless of whether he retires on the money or spends it on hookers and blow, as long as its spent in his home country it's a net loss to the local community.

Well it's not hard to do.. After all, these companies still find outsourcing too expensive or too low in quality, so they ask the government to make it artificially cheaper for them to hire foreign employees that have no bargaining rights. The solution would be to disallow this, forcing them to either pay market price for workers or move their operations overseas. I'm pretty confident based on some of the outsourced nightmares I've encountered that most companies would get burned once or twice on outsourcing, then decide to pay market price for workers.

As an aside, I would be happy to have some sort of citizenship track visa that allowed skilled workers to live and work in the US, pay US taxes, and not be deported merely because of loss of employment, thus being able to negotiate wages on the same playing field.

The problem is that it puts a net drain on the local market, both in terms of skilled workers and in terms of money. An H1-B takes a low paying job that would traditionally go to an entry-level local worker, works for several years, and returns home with enough money live on comfortably for the rest of his life due to the exchange rate. This means that the local entry-level worker can't find a job and becomes disenfranchised, and a total loss of ~50k * 3 yr = $150k is permanently removed from the local economy. Now maybe this is not ethically wrong, but it is not in the best interests of the local economy or the national economy.

Right, you're in favor of education for people who can afford it. Hence money = freedom. You're an anarcho-capitalist, an idiot, and an overall terrible human being. Please go to Somalia where the government will leave you alone, and leave the civilized world to civilized people.

Alright, *your* words, from *your* comment that *you* linked to:

Changing your position every time someone calls you on something might work against some people, but it doesn't make you right. In fact, it just makes you more of a douchebag. And for the record, I was once a card-carrying member of the Libertarian Party. Unlike libtards such as yourself, however, I grew up and realized that money is not a very good indicator of the value of a person.

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but...

"Freedom", in the sense you're using, is completely meaningless. Your anarcho-capitalist vision of what "freedom" means is essentially "might makes right". Individual freedom to do anything within your means has no value if you have no means. Your goal of removing education, one of the few equalizers we have in society, is just an attempt to create an aristocracy. The fact that you use weasel words like "Freedom" to convey this makes it no less true, nor does it make it any more justified in pursuing that goal.

Again, tell me how it helps people to have to go $60k into debt to get a degree required for the kind of job that would provide a living wage? Or how providing higher education is the same thing as murder? You really should seek some psychiatric help, dude.

Do you have a better plan? I mean, I have a better plan: free tuition for anyone who can pass the entrance exams. It would be much cheaper than our current system of government-backed loans, but that's not really the point, is it? The issue here is to ensure that you create a class of indentured servants who have no choice but to pay the rest of their lives for the education they received in their 20's.

The annoying alerts you get from commercial software aren't there to make your computer safer, but rather to remind you that you need to pay for next year's upgrade.
