  1. When I was working for a large energy company in Oklahoma, we had a ton of H1B visa holders. I think my whole team except maybe one guy was from India on a visa. I'm not sure how it works in other areas, but I can tell you It wasn't cheap to hire those guys (and a few ladies). The actual visa holder made less than our FTEs, but the agencies that find and sponsor them charged an arm and a leg. Maybe that was just for BFE Oklahoma, I don't know. However, I can tell you, that if enough of the rednecks in the state actually knew IT, we would have preferred to hire them. The visa route was a necessity to get the job done.
  2. My current employer doesn't allow H1B employees. That means this is the first time I have never had any as part of my software development team. I do however sponsor contractors through different software firms that work on a number of my projects. I have no idea what their immigrations status is. Those contractors far outnumber my full time employees. This could make for a very interesting few years.
  3. As soon as I compliment the save he does that.
  4. There was nowhere near the emphasis previously on tariffs being the fix all elixir. I'm hoping there are enough sycophants with half a brain to make sure he isn't actually able to do this to the extent that he wants to. Same goes with the mass deportation crap. Don't give me the line "we are only getting rid of criminals". We are doing the exact same thing right now now.
  5. Useful idiot. His behavior will be the same as before. The last person to compliment him gets what they want. The guys at project 2025 appear to know how to play this game. Putin knows this game. All folks that the average American probably doesnt want to have anywhere near the President. There will be a lot of pain and suffering for certain segments of our society and the world. Here we are though. They just care about the "economy" . Which is fair. I just wish more than a handful actually knew how it works.
  6. I work from home and there is a Chili's maybe half a mile from house. I wasn't planning on visiting, but then I was reminded of the Southwestern egg rolls above. I might have to head there for lunch and order those and a pour of their best bourbon (heaven knows what that will be). Should make for an interesting afternoon of work.
  7. At first I thought this guy was just a bad troll. Now I’m starting to think he is just that stupid.
  8. Yeah, four years is a long time when you are that age. He already at the old man yelling at clouds stage. Hell, he could be running around on a scooter at that point. No way that body can take that weight for much longer.
  9. I only lived on the gulf side of Florida for 8 years. I remember many storms heading that direction from Mexico across the gulf. Not all hurricanes obviously, but same theory. BTW, my old stomping grounds are in the middle of the current projection. They are already dealing with enough from the storm surge from the last one. This one could get really bad in those areas.
  10. Is there a separate report with the number of black jobs created? I bet it was zero. Or at least that is what I'm sure we will hear from the orange shit stain later today.
  11. I have never read his book, nor have I watched the movie. Although, from what I understand both are very popular. So, I just can't imagine the person responsible for writing that book and being Ivy League educated, being so damn bad at communicating with actual human beings. It's like they should make him wear a helmet everywhere he goes and not let him actually speak to anyone. If I didn't know better I would say someone is intentionally trying to submarine the dotard campaign from the inside.
  12. The market cap on that stock is outlandishly to high. I can't believe anyone invests in that shit stock. On the other hand, I guess I can.
