This is disingenuous! Bill Gates' own lobbyists essentially wrote the visa-to-green card H1 Visas in the Reagan years as a way to undercut the high salaries of MS software developers. Microsoft has relied on this immigration fast-track to keep salaries low for thirty years now.

Texas politicians turned Indian immigrants from 'model minority' into a target
For decades, Indian families found opportunity and acceptance in Texas. Now some who built lives here say they no longer feel welcome.

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

At a meeting someone said academic mentoring is not just about the profession it is about “life” and I just disagree. I am not a life coach. I care about your life and will celebrate and accommodate it, and advise that you put boundaries around it. But I have my own boundaries as well.

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.

Saw The Odyssey last night and realized there’s another reason the right’s rage furbys are foaming at their mouths over the film. It is deeply antiwar, making an argument that builds incident by incident. Nolan’s sin: making explicit the vicious destructiveness of “heroic” ambition and violence.

Just a reminder, the company you work for does not care about you. You could drop dead today while working and they will replace you in a short amount of time. I say this only because we collectively need to stop giving these companies all of our energy even when we’re off the clock.
