It's a factor but it's also true of non-union jobs. Politicians are against any short-term pain because they're afraid they won't be elected. But it's just a part of the culture, US voters don't like it either

One other thing about the US is that they're stubbornly protectionist when it comes to jobs. They're scared to introduce efficiencies such as automating things like manufacturing because some people will lose their jobs in the sho

This is usually an early warning that layoffs or firings are coming. Also, if Amazon's managers don't know what their reports are doing and their impact, then what are they doing?

It's pretty clearly "we're going to advance American interests and we don't care what others think." Taking matters into their own hands rather than relying on allies.

That makes the US a more compelling place for foreign capital to invest in talent though.

I'm seriously trying to understand the long-term goals here. So the US goes to war with Canada and Europe, cutting off relations with them forever. Probably they try to take over Canada too and succeed. So now they have control over al

Part of this is that employers stubbornly refuse to start PERM until you've started on the job. There's no legal reason to do this and it means adding even more months to an already long and uncertain process, compared to doing it

But a good mass transit system, pedestrian/cycling infrastructure, and efficient urban design are already proven ways of doing that.

It's kind of an aside, but it also prevents the individual from doing the most economically efficient thing. I mean, suppose an H1B worker wanted to start a startup and hire some Americans to work for their company. They're legall

It's really shocking how hard it is for a skilled foreigner to get an EAD-like work permit that allows them to freely change employers. It takes 3+ years for most, and I think up to 15+ if you're from India. Of course the ability

Nah. The United States has the biggest lead and it's on the decline, but who's on the ascent? China? It'll be a long long time before any other country comes close to U.S. economic competitiveness.

The word "extraordinary" has some overblown connotations here. This is the only visa for artists (and it's not even an immigrant visa), and all you need is a track record of success. Which puts you above an ordinary artist, s

In this case, cycling infrastructure. But in general, measures that support walkability, non-car transportation, and pedestrianisation.

Americans will visit European cities and say "This is so nice. I wish I lived here!" And then when their city tries to make steps towards adding the things that make them so pleasant, vehemently oppose them.

> Infection with HPV types covered by the vaccine (HPV16/18) has been almost eliminated. Before vaccination, the prevalence of HPV16/18 was between 15–17%, which has decreased in vaccinated women to < 1% by 2021. However, ab

You already don't get this with fashion photography. "The model is 6'1 and wearing a size M" is meaningless when you don't know their weight, dimensions, or whether they've clipped the back to make the garment

That's not true because no other country is even trying to take the lead, economically speaking. China is the only country that pursues innovation nearly as aggressively but they're not a desirable immigration destination. Canada

The only constant is that things are always changing, and getting more hostile for foreigners. It's disingenuous to blame Trump when this is what U.S. voters chose.
