I went to Marineland ~10 years ago and it was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Very poor wildlife management and obviously exploited orcas. I've heard it has gotten worse since then.

The entire H1B system is farcical. It's a white collar migrant worker program. Eliminate the program, and increase the quotas to compensate. The path to citizenship for an educated, English speaking individual should be less impeded th
