It’s funny—I haven’t seen any of the 81 Republicans defending their decision to preserve NAD funding If they have, I haven’t seen it Any theories on how—or whether—they’ll explain what they did?
And swamp republicans teamed up with democrats to give them $315 million more of YOUR dollars this week. Disgusting.

Raytheon: “We’re not hiring White men” Also Raytheon: “OMG we can’t find any Americans to hire, please approve our 500,000 H1-B visas, thank you!”
Chatted with a higher up at Raytheon this morning at this mastermind. “We’re freaking out. We can’t find engineers. We’ve had a position open two years. Kids aren’t studying real majors anymore.” So reminiscent of Atlas Shrugged, where skill aged out w/no replacements in sight.

Wife went to pay our Property Taxes for the year. The online payment system was down of course. So not only do you have to take off work to go pay them,they charged us a $50 convenience fee to use the debit card. If you pay online there is no convenience fee. What a scam Texas.

@Muslim Wheres her disability? https://t.co/KhUMZiDcnH
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

@Muslim Disabled how? If she’s so disabled, why is she allowed behind the wheel? They should look into revoking her license. If she’s on the way to her doctor, why is she blocking ICE vehicles and not taking a legal detour provided to drivers? So many questions when you’re not a complete

@Muslim Don't impede or obstruct Federal agents so consequences like this don't happen. She's not Bangladeshshi, she's an American citizen.

@robbiehendricks @MichaelWSpike just match the relative lifestyle of the government-calculated POVERTY RATE of the 1960s! 5 years ago, $137,000 was not bad at all for an engineer. High middle income. Not today. They want the work, but they don't want to pay for it. Corporate profits bear this out.

@robbiehendricks @MichaelWSpike A shortage of applicants **for the rate they are willing to pay**. It's simple economics. Look, a recent article, in which the author sat down and did some honest calculation, using government numbers, said that an American family of 4 had to make $137,000+ per year to... 1/

@robbiehendricks @MichaelWSpike I believe both of these statements can be true at the same time. This is a genuine tactic by companies that want to outsource by limiting their applicant pool. Like not even letting people make it through the hiring process and claiming there are no qualified applicants at all.

@robbiehendricks @MichaelWSpike Here we get to the meat of the discussion. They probably are not. Which is why they have a tendency to prefer H1-B visas, they get tied in to their sponsor. You do know the requirement for an H1-B is that the position requires a bachelors? Not anything else, nothing about

@robbiehendricks @MichaelWSpike This is the right conclusion. "Talent shortage" usually is just an unwillingness to pay the market rate. Another option that I hope they're considering is training/mentoring young hires up to where Raytheon thinks their entry-levels need to be skills-wise. I benefited from a

Similar story: 7th grade math teacher had left my school unexpectedly and so the principal, who had been in WW2, took over math class. He told amazing and brutal stories of his time in the war, while also doubling the normal curriculum speed to do 2 years of math in 1. But if
I had a male teacher for grades 5 and 6 who was highly eccentric (and not gay - he was a family man without a whiff of scandal). He had old printing presses in the classroom and we learned about how books and newspapers were printed - by printing our own pages with movable type
