This is exactly the type of thing that makes me like America. Taking risks is an essential part of life and the more open you are to sane risks, the better. The reason I don't move there is tax laws, but boy do I, as a third worlder, want a "gold card".

- coldpie 2y agoSorry, local news websites are a disaster. You can probably find the story by searching terms from the URL slug. That particular story doesn't really matter, it was just the most recent one in my area that came to mind. There is no shortage of similar stories across the US.
- ben_w 2y ago> sane risks On the Venn diagram of "risky things" and "sane things", there's a lot of overlap. But I'd say "aggravating people who have a right to bear guns" is not in the overlap.
- soco 2y agoYou may think yourself as very American, but the real Americans voted to keep you (and pretty much everybody else, don't worry) of their America. I call this cognitive dissonance (or trolling, I'm too simple to tell).

- tekknik 2y agoI don’t see a problem there, they take jobs from americans and the current companies abusing the H1B process are doing so not to gain rare knowledge or experience but to abuse people. So i’m totally onboard. H1B should be for people like Musk, not randos that happen to know a few things.
- ben_w 2y agoYou don't see a problem with a legal migrant being deported despite a court order saying "don't do that"? > H1B should be for people like Musk, not randos that happen to know a few things. QED you yourself falsify your own prior statement, "literally nobody has a problem with immigrants using legal methods". This is a person using a legal method. You have a problem with that.
