US is way more welcoming to family based immigration. US is not welcoming to employment based immigration, and specifically is easier for lower skilled ones than higher skilled ones. To top it off, it prefers countries from smaller countrie

Does an Indian individual have a right to be treated equally as Icelandic individual, with respect to us immigration system? Because the system is unfairly discriminating against Indian citizens.

Before Tesla launched model 3, targeted at 35k$, there was another EV launched. Chevrolet bolt launched at the same price range, and at a similar range. It didn't have the sleek look of a Tesla, lacked a supercharger network, and didn

Yup. Also, that is also just one problem. USA hands out a million green cards, but only 150k for employment based. For all the talks of immigrants bringing skills, we are really not preferred. They'll hand out 50k "diversity visas

No country can get more than 7% of the employment or family based green cards.

by legolas2412 4y ago
That is true. USA has rules that prefer low skilled immigration, preferably family based, and forces even the high skilled immigration visas to be broad enough to not really prefer high skilled immigrants. Further, USA discriminates based o

If you are arguing that there are an unsustainable number of employment based green cards being handed out, you could not be more wrong. USA hands out a million green cards every year. But only 150k are employment based. These are capped at

Weird, that never stopped property tax. Why can't one have a wealth tax too. Maybe we can tax only productive assets. And you don't need to sell a small proportion, just let the government own that tiny bit

I thought assets give positive return in the long run. Why should they not pay appropriate taxes for an economic system that increases inequality

They also said that v2 has 5x more weight, and 10x more "capacity". Not sure what capacity is, and why falcon 9 isn't enough for something that's giving them 2x more "capacity" per unit mass.

I don't understand. Do you mean Americans are immigrating to China, given the trade imbalance? Why does exporting come with the expectation of providing employment to countries who could not build competent industries. I am not anti-im

What assets are losing value because of inflation? I thought cash is the only thing losing due to inflation, and debt is one that wins. I swear the things you read about macroeconomics is all just contradicting each other.

I'm going to appeal to authority here. The economists who wrote freakonomics surely controlled for that. They are the ones who published the abortion dropping crime paper.

The government backs up assets overvalued by the banks and corrupt rating agencies. They make out like bandits, nobody goes to jail, housing becomes ever more unaffordable, but it somehow is "for the people". I'm sure the wea

It isn't just proximity though. It is also about doing dangerous research in imperfect conditions with no oversight, shady behavior like moving the dataset offline, hiding the testing status of kab members, or how the sister lab change
