About 9 years ago, I submitted this as a joke to OnStar when I worked for GM. So it is prior work.

Just had to be said (because some guy said windmills cause cancer, just by hearing them).

I don't need a lot, can I just have a little? If so how do I get on the list?

I'm neither rich or trendy and I don't have this problem. You bought into a closed ecosystem, they have you by the pocket book and are not going to let go.

These are companies that don't want experienced (read over 38) or expensive workers. They want people who are cheap and beholden to them.

Paying Amazon for anything just makes me feel dirty. They underpay their workers and treat them like robots, cheat (legally of course) on their taxes and are running small businesses out of existence. But we do it anyway. I wish I could stop, but you can't find a lot of that stuff anywhere else for the same price. It I can I do try to buy direct online after checking local small businesses...

I think if Facepalm had not shut Trump down they would have been seen as accessories to the crime of incitement. Even if they are not able to be charged for it.

Sounds less like someone needs a civics lesson. The "three branches" of American government includes the judiciary. Currently the SCOTUS is controlled by conservative judges (some would argue the only thing that trump actually accomplished).

This is the only Sanders I would vote for... (Never thought I would agree with Garth on anything) https://www.freep.com/story/sp...

APPLE = Evil? or just millennia Just saying, they are very into everything being about themselves. They defer when They take the path of least resistance for everything and Morals are a thing-you-old-people-do. #### Things they do that is evil (even if not always illegal) They don't admit they make mistakes or try to fix what they did. (Faulty screens or keyboards) They don't stand up for what is right, just because it might cause some friction. (Anything to do with China) They use slave labor (essentially) and disguise/avoid knowing about it by saying (someone else does that not us, but they pay that someone) Tax cheats/avoiders (nuff said) They prevent any repairing anything they build as often as possible. I don't buy their stuff because I'm neither rich or trendy...

Nuff Said

Didn't anyone hear about this before? http://www.spreadingsantorum.c... If you know how it works of course you can "manipulate" it. How is this news?

Whoever wrote this statement is either looking for someone to beat them down, troll them mightily or they just have waaayyy to high of an opinion of themselves. Seriously. I think troubleshooting and fire-fighting IT problems is a lot more fun challenging than creating the problems with his poorly written code.

What else do you call them? That's what they are...

I don't know I had a whole long tirade planned for this article. I've been outsouced or wrong-sourced so many times it's not funny. I've probably trained 20 replacements. One time they replaced me with 6 people (5 of them H1Bs and one Leader from the US). After 3 months they hired me back. Other times they just suffered on until someone else took up the work. The way I look at it, if you CAN'T find people here capable of doing the work, then you should be able to go outside the US to find someone who can. The problem is, these companies aren't looking for people who CAN do the job here. They don't even look here, they go straight to the H1B market. They don't want to pay IT people what's they are worth. Two additional points... H1B is a fancy way of saying "Indentured Servant", I don't know all the rules but I have had good friends who tried to move or get paid what they were worth, but the contract house they worked for could hold that H1B up and threaten them with going home if they asked for any more money. Did anyone realize that most "Executive Support" is done by Non-H1B workers? Everywhere I've worked if the executives (and sometimes everyone in accounting) have their own support group they are all from the US. Just saying... How come they get to have the expensive people come plug their new monitors in when their more important than the core business (building cars/airplanes/medical devices). This sucks, I became a ranter..
