Need to get this fixed. A bipartisan bill cosponsered by 340 house representatives is there but Paul Ryan is not allowing the vote on it. Perhaps not the limit fixed, but the backlog that's currently there for H1bs. It will be extremel

I read a while back that local governments would significantly artificially inflate their manufacturing, construction, spending, and raw materials numbers. There were dozens that seemed so far fetched they were easily spotted as fake by a p

They will still be taxed on foreign profits. It's the global minimum tax of 11%. So if they are based in Ireland they'd pay 2% in Ireland and 9% to America. If in China, they'll pay 15% in China and 0% in America. Regardless

Global minimum tax. No more rinse and repeat thanks to the tax bill. 11% tax on all foreign profits so this eradicates tax havens in Ireland and the islands because if you are paying 2% then you pony up the other 9% to Uncle Sam. Last repat

I don't disagree with giving out tax credits, I jut disagree with giving them to unreliable companies like Foxconn without a more firm contract. I also potentially disagree with how big the breaks are. Tesla received a $1.3B incentive

The little passionate website in the 2000s used to be the best source of information if properly vetted. Now it's only big websites regurgitating the same superficial content written by paid writers who have no expertise in the subject

I'm so glad I'm not the only person thinking that. Last year and a half or so I've started scouring forums and reading studies on google scholar rather than searching the web. And it's gotten worse and worse each year. I

Read on the WSJ a few days ago how Huawei got started was straight stealing the exact same patented technology as an American firm and then could produce more cheaply thanks to government help. America has to act now to prevent this kind of

I think this business model has a far greater chance of succeeding than something like Tesla's. It's easier to just focus on a small averagely populated area than high density urban cities or in Tesla's case, the entire count

He's not "right wing". Hating SJWs and the extreme left isn't right wing. People are complicated and labeling someone as right wing to invalidate someone's every position is as bad as what the right does to the left

Yes they've never given an equal bonus to every employee before and this was due to the tax cut. The capital expenditure certainly is because it makes it much more favorable to invest in capital with the complete write off. My dentist

$1,000 bonus for 250k employees is $250,000,000 first of all... Secondly, they announced a $1B increase in capital expenditures for next year so that's $1.25B. That's now 54.3% which is a great "trickle down" effect. Oh

Foreign influence in congress may not be the biggest threat to Democracy, but it is one of my biggest pet peeves. A country has vastly greater resources that any other individual, business or entitity. A foreign country's intentions ar
