Great read. This has been debated in Latin America for many years. Apparently, the only country where the presidential system works is the USA. And it only works because the elites work extra hard to make sure that it works. But the politic

Even if they were not able to get a college education, their kids might. Also people who benefit the most for college will pay more. The productivity that society gains as a whole will offset the costs.

There are two big mountain ranges crossing Mexico North-South. That probably kept some of the indigenous groups isolated from each other for a long time. There is also the division between Mesoamerica (South) and Aridoamerica(North). Two di

IMHO. The problem with on-call rotation is that people just try to push the problems until it is someone else's turn. No one is looking at the root causes. No one is making changes on the systems to avoid problems in the future. No one

It is not who got here first. It is who stayed and changed the world. The (re)discovery of America in 1492 is arguably the most important discovery in history. It changed everything in very deep ways. Europe started looking outwards while A

So you can extend your credit. But you still have to pay that. You don't get to spend that money.

It is a mirage. You think you are making money but you cannot use it. Unless you retire in an inexpensive place. Or die. You will have a lot of money when you die and can sell your house.

> Wages must rise I would say that housing should be less expensive. These prices are impossible even with a good salary. You need two good salaries to buy one house and still have money for your other expenses.

I heat plates where I serve the steak. It helps to keep it hot while you are eating it.

This is the argument. Currently H1B are not bringing diversity. They should.

by huherto 10y ago
It should bring talent and diversity. Bringing ideas from multiple cultures and occupations, to establish connections and interchange with those. Right now many H1B are used by Indian IT companies. Also, they are the most abused on the gree

As an entrepreneur, you need consumers to succeed. If there is a healthy middle class (assuming basic income helps) your businesses has better chances.

What is MSM ? I keep seeing it, google hasn't helped.

Right. Even if the system is fraud proof. It must be so transparent so everybody understands how it works. The US has not experienced (yet) a candidate that refuses to accept the results of an election. An unloyal candidate will claim fraud

Google is clearly not the problem. They have 4k H1B but they also have 60k USA employees.

Not a conspiracy. It is just a matter of where the market incentives are.

limit the number of visas per company. Proportional to the total number of us citizen or permanent resident employees. i.e. (num_h1b_employees - 1) / num_employees < 15% (1-1)/5 = 0% (2-1)/10 = 10% (15-1)/100 = 14% (1

I don't get the rules engine thing. It is still code. I rather have them hardcoded with proper source control and do frequent releases. May be when you have rules that change every hour back and forth.
