This is one of the best takes I have seen in a long time on the immigration issues surrounding the H1B visa program. As the Duke professor interviewed said, if there really were a shortage of skilled labor, there would be an appropriate increase in wages, but so far the wages for engineers and scientists have not changed much in the past few years. You know what they say, follow the money. Then again, give the feminists and their enablers a chance to implement their latest schemes revolving around Title IX, and employers might have a valid case in a decade.
This is an inspiring story of a billionaire who made his money and gave all but a million dollars of it away to charity. It's too bad that there are not more billionaires like this. One of the things that I am personally sick to death of is hearing rich people complain about problems that could be solved with their money, and who then don't put their money where their mouths are. I think that one of the new rules for the "public debate" in the 21st century should be that anyone who has enough money to contribute meaningfully to a problem that they yammer on and on about, and who does not do so, should automatically be ignored as a hypocrite until they do so (and do it consistently).
It looks like we might be taking Japan down with us. Ok, so we might not be the direct cause of Japan possibly going back into a recession, but if the United States goes into an all out recession, it's highly unlikely that they are going to be doing well since we are one of their largest trading partners.
An interesting story about WordPress from an investment angle.
Satan is really getting desperate these days.
There was a controversy recently in Japan about the government assigning a unique ID number to all of its citizens. I, for one, happen to think that this is ought to be the least worry in a modern industrialized state. Think about it for a second. In this day and age of massive databases, do you not want a unique identifier that can be used as a database key? Wouldn't you like to be able to ask the TSA agent who is telling you that you can't fly that he or she is wrong by making them compare your unique identification number to the one on the list? The real issue isn't the identification number, but rather the fact that the government keeps so much data on its citizens!
