Well they are changing the perspective. The phone is theirs until the payment is complete. Very likely that's how they write the contract too. They may still sell it like "auto pilot" but the paperwork defines the actual cont

I am not trying to describe the happy path in any way. I have gone through a 4 year L1A green card which my colleagues got it in 10 months and I have been without advanced parole for 13 months which implied if I left the country due to any

In order to renew an H1b visa, immigrants have to go to a US consulate I think you may be confusing 2 things. H1 Validity and H1 Visa. You can extend your H1 from within US and most people do. No one is forced to go out and come back. How

Well, maybe, maybe not. At least, it incentivizes Amazon to chase the culprits. The question is whether that incentive is big enough for them to fix / improve things.

Interesting... I used to have similar ideas about "at least do no harm", but the intolerance of the times radicalized me somewhat and the new mantra is not only to reduce the harm I do, but to also somewhat counter the harm others

One of the companies I used to work for - the joke was they are a land acquiring company under the guise of technology. They did tech too and made a lot of money, but they made decent sum from land too. Same may be going on for churches too
