I agree wholeheartedly. He made this "mistake" of stating correct facts in a broken debate that is emotional. And like clockwork the Swedish "establishment" shut him out of the spotlight. ... and yet here we have the mai

I really don't think Google is a H1B abuser. They are very much not in the low-to-medium end sysadmin/"IT person" consulting business. The mere fact that you don't already understand this honestly kind of makes me w
