The fact is they blocked several companies, but didn't lower the number of visas being issued. So what they are doing is redistributing who gets visas (which smacks of favoritism and corruption)

Except they are excluding the companies found abusing the system, in turn leaving the companies complying with the rules alone. Complying with the H1B program as enacted by Congress is neither favoritism nor corruption. Quite the opposite actually.

None of that matters. They will just hire their H1Bs through Tata or some other body shop. This is just more favoritism and graft.

Let me clarify. Kids were waiting for buses in the dark. The reflective dots were being given out gratis by many businesses in order to make the kids more visible on the side of the road. Most kids in the US leave school by 3 PM. Itâ(TM)s not dark at 3 PM. If theyâ(TM)re leaving later than that, theyâ(TM)re getting picked up in a car. The only thing that has changed in 52 years is now we have a president who thinks you have to climb up the outside of a clock tower to move the hands on the clock twice a year. Stick to standard time year round.

Maybe people shouldn't believe everything they see online, and learn how to research the candidate/incumbent themselves.

Any time I get a political ad, I read at least 3 sites (as diverse as possible) and average the overall "facts" that the sites say. Maybe candidates could switch from only bad-mouthing other candidates to the candidate just saying what they're campaigning on.

I know you're saying this with the best of intentions, and I'm sure you're surrounded by capable, at least moderatly intelligent people because people tend to surround themselves with people like themselves. But most people are not like this. Seriously thinking this is a reasonable solution paints you as painfully naive.

That's not the incentive that caused the subprime mortgage crisis at all. Where dod you get this idea from?

The incentive that caused this was the ability for originators to easily sell loans, and the demand for such loans of nearly any quality by the aftermarket as packaged loan tranches were making good money. It's basic market dynamics once you understand the change the precipitated it.

But, but how els would a pedantic /. loser be able to prove that they know more than the rest of us other than to miss the intent of what is being said in order to build a strawman that they can then use to demonstratie their supposed expertise on the subject?

If you think the big tent thing was from 202 we're not even talking about the same things. But you sure had a lot to say. Hope that tuckered you all out. Inreality, the Democratic party has been pulling this playbook in earnest for nearly a couple decades in its currrent form. If you can't seer that you're missing the plot I'm talking about. Which tracks because you seem to have some correct observations but are baffled about or just confidently wrong on the how and why.
