H1B come with handcuff clauses 2-4 years in the tech sector it allows you to pay low and have a continuity double the industry average turnover. Europe has the same style exploitation for healthcare and technology but there must be pay parity, no low rate

That's a good point they can do a whole pile of awful in a very short space of time and then blame the civilian advisor who was out of his depth.
I didn't think about that but they can pile that high

They got what they needed out of him, 100mil for the war chest, they have used him and will now discard him.

Quote from: Doktor Howl on December 23, 2024, 07:39:44 PMThe Resistance™ is already a neutered, safe, shrink-wrapped Conspiracy™ product.  The Church of Discordia doesn't exist.  The Subgeniuses are too old to care, and Lemmy is dead.


Yeah at the moment the "resistance" and discordia are looking less and less like a savior,
Hell the church of the shrike is looking more like it has some kind of well being for us

Ehm that was me according to the admin logs, it coincides with me hitting rejected on about 20 spam bots meaning it was the same action.

The thing is that the guy had already an approved account, only thing I can think of is they changed their email address which retriggers the activation state and they got caught up in mass rejection.

So, sorry menoccio, I obliterated your account. You aren't banned so you can sign up again and this time I'll try not to get you caught up in the collective punishment doled out on the bots.

This means the bots won, I couldn't see the tree for the woods, damn.

Since the summer there's been an automated system registering bots here, they are easy to spot so able to cull them in groups so it doesn't take any time at all but they do inflate the stats on the bottom of the page

Quote from: Bruno on December 08, 2024, 05:49:08 AMThe Left and right are having a bit of a kumbaya moment right now over the killing of that healthcare CEO.



Not a partisan thing, deeply republican relatives taking a lot of glee in it.

Thats a good idea on the refurb, theres about 70k in grants for refurbishing dwellings that are considered derelict, which from the looks of the grant just means "uninhabited for 2 years" and yeah the passport gives access to both the EU and UK, though for that you might need to apply via northern Ireland for a work number but its a way to get full access to the EU

Yep, you can buy a 1 bed apartment in Dublin for 500k euro

Or a 7 bed villa with an orange Grove in sardinia for 100k

And apart from buying there are resettlement schemes for renters like you say for islands where the population is dwindling

While I wouldn't trade Ireland for the US under any circumstances, Ireland is far from perfect, we have an awful housing shortage that started about 6 years ago and has gotten worse and worse, new home to buy costs are extortionate, and trying to find an over priced place to rent is incredibly difficult.

If you have someone to stay with you'll be fine, but you'll be facing a hard time trying to get anywhere otherwise.

Politically we are more stable, health care is cheaper than the USA but you still generally want to have insurance, there's plenty of work going round, but every country has its problems, just do your research is all I'm saying

Accelerationists always argue they are pushing towards some kind of collapse, they never seem to be aware of the fact that things can reach a nice stable level of shit and stay there without any collapse, it can often hang at that level of tedious,for centuries.

Quote from: Mandelbrot Slapper on November 08, 2024, 07:20:55 AMShe ran that campaign like a one legged dog. She gave the same exact speech at every rally she attended. She had a parade of millionaire celebrities with military trained armed security details telling people who don't know if they will pay next month's rent or the leccy bill & whose kids are doing active shooter drills in Grade school that their interests are the same. No they are not.

They called Latino men misogynists and told African American men they were obliged to vote Democrat. They spoke of and to the working class of every race like they were cretins and told Pro Palestine Dems they were terrorist sympathisers.

Then she went down to South Carolina and Florida and told hurricane victims still searching for the bodies of their families that there was no money to help them out but they only had themselves to blame really, since very few of them seemed to have saved anything at all for a rainy day - or a series of devastating flash floods as the case may be.

Name one progressive policy initiative she hawked that doesn't have to do with abortion. Tell me at what point they ever acknowledged that a great many African American voters and just as many Latino voters, in line with their very traditional religious beliefs, are vehemently opposed to abortion.
Now me, I am all for abortion on demand. Tbh with you, there's a damn fine case to be made for it being compulsory for a lot of folk. But that was just terrible strategy.

She offered nothing. She has been in the party over a decade and in power for 4 years at the heart of the administration and they've done nothing but fund wars and prop up dodgy financial institutions. Tell me one idea she came out with which would have a real and lasting impact, which was focussed on improving the lives of anyone who is hurting in the US right now. You cannot.

They skipped the Primaries completely which in itself is a subversion of the democratic process. They installed a candidate who was popular with the Party apparatchiks but deeply unpopular in the electorate. She consistently polled lower than Biden in approval yet they bumped him and replaced him with her. it was madness.

If they'd gone for AOC they might have had a chance and she'd have towed the line as well as Harris but no. They are so disconnected from the voters that it never occured to them she'd be rejected. Why would she be rejected they thought. She ticked all the boxes. A woman of mixed race who is relatively young. What did it matter that she's an incompetent hack with a voice like an air raid siren and a fake laugh you could grate rocks on. She put on the accent on whatever group she was talking to at the time. Very badly.

And I swear the bitch was drunk more often than she was sober.

Now everyone's shocked she lost.
Really?


These would all be reasonable points if she wasn't up against a syphilitic mess, who paid off a child he raped on epstien Island, who previously installed his buddies to rob the country blind.

If she had been running against
Mccain
McConnell
Even RKJ

You'd have a point.
