Ditto here. One in one hundred is at the top of their game, which puts them level with one in ten Americans over 35. The rest are warm bodies who can barely speak decipherable English. It's nothing against them - just my observations over 30 years in the industry.

Maybe 1 in 1000 can actually justify an H1b because they're actually highly skilled enough that there aren't enough comparable citizens to cover the need. The rest are here because they're cheap.

There are still gangs in the surrounding countries. A good part of their reason to exist is our porous border. Close the border and their human trafficking ops dry up.

Either get serious about choking off the drug trade or legalize the stuff and you kill the rest of their ops.

But the Clowns In America wouldn't be very happy with that arrangement.

Poop and cray-cray appear to be the main values in SanFranFreakShow.

Never understood what North Carolinians see in Linda. Dude has always been sus to me. Maybe they'd rather have him in DC than be screwing up things in NC.

Of course, I don't understand why my own state keeps re-electing Manchin either...

Would love to see this agency totally reformed or ideally eliminated.

In favor of a chain of convenience stores with the same name.

Is it still manipulation when Elon does it?

I think that's giving her too much credit. Disney has screwed the pooch in multiple other ways outside of her debacle.

She is laughably tedious though.

"speak truth to power". Guess they're going to dredge up that tired old trope again.

Cosplaying being "The Resistance" is the only sad card they have left. Clowns will be clowns.

First Patriot Front and now FBI DEI?

We're already winning and we're still weeks away from inauguration.

It's ok. There'll be so many fireworks that it will be almost daylight.

Maybe tolerable for the horse if Chunk was the catcher in that arrangement.

Streets of Ukraine sound like the streets of UK cities in the 1700s/1800s when Royal Navy press-gangs were grabbing subjects off the streets and forcibly dragging them into Naval service.

Some info here if you're not familiar with the practice (sorry about Shitipedia but it's a decent article in this case) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressment

As a general rule, if your first offer is accepted, you probably weren't asking for enough.

I found your asthma symptoms interesting..

I'm a former smoker and have very light asthma I can keep in check with a OTC inhaler along with seasonal allergies. Typically, it's barely there an I just sometimes need an inhaler before bed. Haven't been sick since Covid and have been able to squash anything that felt like an oncoming cold with a bit of Ivermectin.

But I've been fighting something for over a week and Ivermectin didn't kill it. Over the weekend I was very asthmatic to the point I was using the inhaler twice an hour and seriously thinking about what might happen if I had to go to the hospital because I couldn't breath. Then yesterday morning, I woke up with 90% of my symptoms gone almost like magic.

We're in very rural WV so not in a populated area. We had rain recently - maybe that washed what was bothering me out of the air. I still have some lingering congestion and coughing, but now I'm only using the inhaler maybe every 8 hours and expect I'll be off it by the end of the week.

Don't recall anything quite like this before. Admittedly could be coincidence. I have a hard time believing we could be fogged out here in the sticks. Closest thing to a city is 90 minutes in two different directions and the closest Interstate is an hour away.
