its not meant to make them stop using it. its meant to stop them from using it to replace there entire workforce with them. if someone is Reilly talented and worth the money there gonna have to pay for it. otherwise hire local.

How, someone will find a way to pay $100,000 to make half what a U.S. software developer makes. Life finds a way. Will this eliminate abuse, or move money around.

Yes, but that waiver is only worth it for an individual that truly is exceptional. For the more common skilled engineer or scientist the waiver is not worth it

You're looking at it ass backing fuckwards, not what premium a company would pay for a cheap engineer or scientist, but what premium a cheap engineer or scientist would pay for an American engineer or scientist job. They'll still come here, take additional debt, but buy the house without a pool, maybe drive a Corola a few years.

This is a blatant cash grab. Sooner you realize that the sooner you can stop the mental gymnastics of pretending this fixes anything and move on to the mental circus of pretending this is a brilliant 4d cash grab, that will restore science funding.. err uhh lower our grocery bills, or.. fuck, it's just going to go to like Peter Thiel or some kid named Big Balls isn't it.

Dude we know you don't even have a theory of how this is supposed to work. This is a money grab and won't change how the system works. The money will 100% not go to a good cause. H-1B workers will still be exploited once they get here after Trump takes his cut, and it will not lower your groceries, your rent, your gas or pay one dime of federal debt. It will probably be invested in AI data centers and justify even more H-1B workers. Because the goal is to help a few people get rich, not fix anything.

Does anyone actually have any evidence PJ was a real person and not just a persona created by IBM's PR department? PJ appeared mysteriously, exclusively posting stuff supportive of IBM's position in this case. They never turned their attention to any other litigation. It's awfully suspicious. You'd think a real person who knew that much about the relevant law would have opinions on other cases as well, and you'd expect them to market themselves using the fame/goodwill generated with Groklaw. You'd also think they'd have done at least one interview, or you could find at least one person who's met them. I'm not saying anything posted on Groklaw wasn't true, just that it always seemed like a very successful IBM PR exercise to me.

Her name is Pamela Jones, she was a paralegal. She's done real interviews in the past. She was/is real!

Propane tanks / gas bottles are easy to reuse and recycle, but chucking them in a blue bin and dumping them into a truck isn't safe, the logo on the truck doesn't magically make them less combustible.

I think that's the deal here, deposit on disposable vapes keeps them coming back to a place that handles high density batteries in a safer way.

Comment Re:Wrong conclusion. (Score 1) 60

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers.

With executive pay at all time highs and the gap between executive and workers larger than ever, I would agree. This is a failure in the system where boards of directors are not holding executives accountable. The system can't hold for long.
