Just anecdotal but as someone in the Pacific Northwest with a large Mormon population I have seen this occur in government and doctors offices, slowly everyone replaced by Mormons. My current office the practitioner I work with is the only

It is not ridiculous. It is also the will of a democratic people. Maybe you aren't compatible with the American system as you seem to want some sort of classist system (let in more of the 'GOOD' people where you define who is

Because you chose to apply to a system that limits the total percentage of recipients taken by nationals of any one country? The USA is pretty public with this information along with publishing applications numbers so if it's a process

Then make VISAs an auction if the goal is maximum value extraction, not some weird arbitrary 'allow all X class (in your case master degree graduates) because they are of 'more value' for 'XYZ reason'. But that isn

Because American's have chosen to have immigration opportunities spread among different countries and specifically written that into our system? Because I don't want a system that promotes elites that 'have the funds to pay t

Because that is not how American immigration has traditionally worked. Many of us are from families that did not have the means to put someone through graduate school, they arrived as Irish orphans or with $8 in their pockets. The graduate

I can commission a painting and give exacting details of what I want, but that does not make me the artist that created the painting (especially in the legal definition required to claim copyright ownership).

If I ask a painter to paint a picture, and I tell them what I want on the painting down to the finest level, did I paint the picture?

There are laws and rules for copyright, and when you claim copyright, you make a legal claim to the government that those rules apply to yourself and the piece in question. TDIL: When I make legal statements to the government, such as that

If I commission an artist and give them exacting directions, they are still the artist and copyright owner of the work. They can then assign it to me, but I am not the artist simply because I commissioned the work and gave input.

I spent a couple of months trying to find podcasts, but they all seem to consume way to much time for value provided. Can you recommend any high value podcasts that don't just ramble about this weeks business press releases? I don&#x27

As an inmate you don't have standing in 1983 cases (your only attack against qualified immunity) unless you can demonstrate actual harm. How can I do that? I don't own anything, my prison slave labour job isn't going to fire

As someone who went through the system you are wrong. Sure that might be a few cases ruled in your favor, but in the actual implementation of the rules as applied to those in the system you are incorrect. You are like the insurance company

There was a case where it was ruled totally fine to feed inmates rotten food AS LONG AS if they asked they were then given human grade food. Here's the thing, asking comes with huge consequences (such as being put in a cell with notori

Hint from an ex-con, lying to the Feds (especially in paperwork you sign your name to) isn't a great idea. Relevant quote: must show significant “human authorship.”

I love my small sports hatch. My old WRX wagon was even better and served a starting family of 4 just fine. People definitely want such small cars.

It's the 'standard term used' so makes sense that it is used. The discussion here is does it make sense? I know that until I studied Persian history it very much alienated my thinking from that part of the world, and made me

So a useless word that could be replaced by stating the geographic name of the 'certain parts of the world' referred to. Seems like an artificial name the muddies/pollutes the topic rather than enlightens. The Spanish inquisi

This isn't true. I was in prison at the time and trusted that Fox wasn't totally lying and believed the election was stolen. There were almost huge riots between political persuasions and the BOP locked down all facilities (which

On a previous thread someone posted a interesting idea. Every time a company conducts criminal actions, the feds assume X percentage of undilutable ownership. This punishes the company and stakeholders (or stockholders) as it dilutes their

Rephrasing your statement, (current) Syrian nationals chose to go into a field (out of how many?) that they knew was greatly restricted without a change to their (current) nationality, and are then restricted. Nothing to due with punishing

No, the concept of having corporations is 100% about this since their creation. If you look into the history of corporations it's kind of the point. Not more 'you and your family will be completely ruined and destroyed' but i

Russia doesn't believe a country called Ukraine exists. Instead they believe a region called 'the Ukraine' does. Funny your choice of words.
