What kind of nonsense is that Trump enabled Erdogan. Sure, if Trump hadn't been POTUS then, would you have expected another President to intervene in Turkey? Definitely, not.

Massive purchasing power of Africa, Asia? I don't believe so. USA is the major importer of illegal drugs, why? Because Americans have the purchasing power. Every country on the earth wants to export their stuff to the US. China doesn&#

I used to work in retail, worked as a security guard, and many such odd jobs. Majority of my ex-colleagues (including myself) then would rather stay home, if they can get free housing and food.

Unlike the third world countries, the US is in unique situation: the whole world can exchange their real assets(commodities, finished products, etc) for the US dollar. This luxury is not available to any Asian/African country. That

Monetary controls matter for the uber wealthy. Majority of immigrants from the third world are not that wealthy, so they either cross illegally or seek asylum. If they are qualified to get work visas, that's another option. Investment

Can one blame apartheid governments for today's problems? When can one stop blaming the apartheid? Instead of blaming, what mistakes that the post-apartheid governments have committed? Sure, corruption is one. How about competence? Com

FYI, federal judges are not elected by the public. Instead, POTUS picks up a judge, and the Senate has to approve. Prosecution asked for 15 years, the defense asked for home confinement or 18 months in prison.

Yes, they are real jobs. But you have to make sure that it is from primary vendors. Often times, many secondary vendors source for the same job listed by primary vendor. One way to cut down secondary vendors, ask for decent rates. If someon

Put your resume on Indeed and Dice, and keep a google voice number, you will get a lot of calls from "offshore recruiters" working for primary and secondary vendors.
