I work with these people and it happens all the time. It's not irrational at all. Indian posts are very awful right now.

This is the problem with Americans, banking on pie in the sky fantasies from billionaires. Meanwhile promising kids get killed in school and people die needlessly due to lack of healthcare, at enormous costs to society. Basic, fundamental s

Funny. I feel weird for saying I can't be in our Quiet Rooms for long. They have no ventilation. They are tiny. I start to feel sick and exhausted if I am in there too long. Some people have groups of three meetings in there for hours!

Only way will be to walk or swim into Europe. He won't be issued a visa. How exactly will he do this?

He is probably inadmissible to most of the EU with robbery and drug sales convictions. OP what is your professional background? Any connection to IT / tech?

I think he is confusing midwife with doula. You don't hire a midwife to join you at the hospital. I think in the US, they are referred to as nurses more than midwives in hospitals. Here in Aus it's all midwives. Therein lies a bit

I've also noticed a decline and people just seem unhappier and grumpy. I don't think it's the act of staring at a screen itself. It's the information coming from that screen. It's stressing people out and adding a h

That doesn't really mean anything. Most people outside of white collar professions glorify it; they haven't done it before.

If only I wasn't so boring; some interesting retail spaces have opened up in my area.

So if someone mentioned something nice happening in 1960 you'd say "yeah the Fifties were great!" ?

Wow I hadn't thought about that. I also think most people haven't yet realised this is the last year of the current decade!

Why would you need $1 million cash on hand? Lol. A $1.4m house only needs a 10% down payment, 20% at most.

Prevailing wage data indicates you should really be making north of $110k as a database analyst or administrator with over a decade of experience...

because there are lots of good jobs paying six figures there. land prices go for a percentage of incomes, always. you probably need to go back to your employer and say that you aren't being adequately compensated. I'm confused why

Extra constitutional? What does this even mean? What is every other government agency then?

What's wrong with that?

I just came back to the US for a visit and was absolutely gobsmacked at the wide level of texting/phone usage while driving. People weren't even making an effort to hide it or using hands-free cradles. Just full on swiping and loo

There's no shared resource. It requires risky exploration and investment in extraction. Do you really think the 25m Australians can afford to gamble on hundreds of billions on LNG terminals? One bad investment or a big drop and the who

They are completely different situations, not even remotely comparable.

It's a stupid fucking mentality pervasive amongst the American corporate MBA set. It treats people as disposable and is usually not in the company's best interests. It's a short term boost to a company with long lasting and o

This is happening to computer security professionals too. If they don't like your client your esta and visa are denied.

Um, this is definitely the case. DHS has an advanced record keeping system. They have tons of information on every person arriving in the US. Yes they even know what you ordered on your in flight meal.

There isn't data on this. This incident likely wasn't logged in any way. CBP is a rogue agency and the least transparent. They don't respond to FOIA anymore either.

They are also cancelling ESTA for security professionals without warning and the resulting visa application gets stuck in administrative processing for months due to a security flag.

There is no transit visa to the US. Everyone landing goes through customs and immigration regardless of whether you are connecting to another flight.

There is nothing stopping us from legislating minimum rates just like we legislate minimum wages.

Can someone sensible with expertise comment on this please?

If most people in an area have owned their homes since back when they were cheap, and say only 1 house out of 1,000 comes up for sale per year with a high asking price, it's possible for "nobody" (99% of people) to be unable

For .com.au you already need an Australian Business Number (ABN). You need to have a genuine business operating in Australia to get one. This will add a further barrier, which is needed.

Why didn't you have any representation, such as legal or a deal negotiator, on your side? Broker isn't your friend. Is there any reason why you saw 2x "earnings" as the golden ticket?
