    H1B Work Visas... Good Business Practice or Slave Labor?

    TAXES | REGS 
    Well it will definitely be closed if we start going on political tangents and don't try sticking more to the discussion about whether foreign visas are a good business practice or slave labour.

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Yeah I almost didn't post it, seems hard to seperate politics if we go down this rabbit hole so maybe it's better to leave this one alone for now :rofl:

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Well... The new hot theory was released today on the Shawn Ryan show. It involves an email from the Green Beret Vegas bomber sent the day before. Apparently the email is confirmed by the FBI as being from him, but whether or not the contents are true or if he is just a man having a psychotic...

    YouTube Premium, worth the money?

    IDEA 
    I like to download podcasts and content on youtube as I fly 4 or 5 times a month, but the one feature that hooked me was that at the time I wasn't paying, if I tried to go to sleep to a podcast I was watching on YouTube, it would close if I turned my screen off lol. Not sure if that's the same...

    I remember this meme being popular like 5 years ago. Is this the first time any of them have been caught? Amazing it took this long. Not a bad return if the fine was only 95 million...

    I can see the resemblance. Especially if you found someone not using SKAG'S.

    Anyone else here like this at all? I have at least 15 shirts that are all the same :happy: and wear them 90% of the time, and can easily eat the same thing every day, in particular when I'm on a health kick. I wear them mostly because of comfort but I strangely like the idea of not having to...

    H1B Work Visas... Good Business Practice or Slave Labor?

    Small businesses now? Oh darn, did you hear about Barry? He had to let all his slaves go and his construction company went under :rofl: There's nothing that can be done about genuine offshoring and outsourcing, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. Importing cheap slave labour is not the...

    3. Still operate competitively like they were before abusing a foreign visa system that is sliding towards indentured servitude and lowering the standard of work and living people have fought incredibly hard for. Why is everything one extreme or the other with you? Ban visas completely or ban...

    H1B Work Visas... Good Business Practice or Slave Labor?

    TAXES | REGS 
    I can't stop myself from coming back to this post of yours, because I can't believe what I am reading. It's ridiculous to lump the visa scheme in with zoom and outsourcing. And it's even more ridiculous to say the local people missing out and having their work conditions and pay eroded are just...

    H1B Work Visas... Good Business Practice or Slave Labor?

    TAXES | REGS 
    Really??? Nowhere near the same thing. Overseas freelancers are not beholden to a visa being hung over their head forcing them to accept shitty work conditions which over time starts lowering the conditions for everyone local. And there are many, many positions that need to have physical...

    Quit Alcohol. Try it.

    MINDSET 
    Quit about 6 months ago. Don't miss it in the slightest. Quite the opposite. I haven't really noticed a big impact healthwise. But I kind of look at it like poison now. Wasn't that long ago that I was scoffing at Andrew Huberman saying 2 or 3 drinks a week was a lot.

    Seems to be a lot of somewhat grey areas and it's hard to get an exact answer, but the general consensus seems to be 60k, which hasn't been increased since it began decades ago. I could be wrong though The H-1B visa: Facts, requirements, processes

    Completely different thing. Outsourcing to workers overseas has a completely different impact to actually importing workers into the country and the affect it has on the local job market and acceptable work conditions.
