There are more white non-homeowners in the US than the entire US black population and wealthy black people have no problem owning homes. The biggest correlation is wealth.

The wealthy have solidarity in their wealth while us poors find reasons to divide ourselves, be it race, religion, sexuality, or level of relative poorness. Imagine the power we’d have to fi change this country if we were allies instead.

Which all comes from the temporary and restrictive nature of the visa. They’re tied to a specific employer and must leave the country if their employment with that company ends (or set up another visa with another company in a very short time).

If these people represent deficiencies in our country’s skill set, then we should be welcoming them with open arms not locking them into an exploitative indentured servitude.

Of course, removing the strong tie to a specific sponsoring employer would let them leave the company for more competitive pay and work environment, which makes the whole thing less appealing to companies. It’s also at odds with the idea of the visa serving to bring in extraordinary talent not available in the country. Needing extraordinary talent and skimping on pay don’t exactly go hand in hand.

Alyx was fantastic and is the best VR game ever made, also. You’ll enjoy it when you play it

It’s like the literal progression of the poem and people still act surprised.

Anybody care to sum this up for people who can’t watch videos?

I see what you mean about Jesse. It’s been a while since I played it, but I remember her being cast as an unwilling and unlikely hero, which can be a hard role to write well. Also, the acting was a bit stilted at first. I think she got better as it went (both the character and the voice acting).

You’ll still have to add/subtract for plans with distant people to figure out when they’re awake and at work. You just won’t have the convenience of a familiar workday timeframe (9-5) to help you with the calculation.

Dude, I’m agreeing with you. Getting hung up on past wrongs that one group’s parents did to another group’s parents is totally more important than mending rifts in our society and working together for a better future for ourselves and our children. After all, it’s totally the other group’s fault anyway.

Let’s make sure to undermine any growing solidarity by taking shots at each other over race/culture war BS at every opportunity. It’d be a shame if we were all on the same side.

That’s nice for people with low UTC offsets, but will be incredibly confusing for most of the Earth’s population who are closer to the date line. Imagine it being Tuesday in the morning and Wednesday in the afternoon!

Now, 24h time I’m 100% in favor of. AM/PM can fuck right off.

Look at the dumb cops in the picture with so little self-awareness that they think they’re on the same side as the CEOs.

I think it’s time we let this man have his peace. Let’s call off the search.

Oh yeah, that’s definitely a bad outcome, I agree. Thankfully retroactive laws seem to be much harder to pass.

Yeah, this is not one of the good ones. Should have let this one disappear to bitrot.

I concur with your interpretation. But as for your final line, I’m not sure why this interpretation is unfortunate. We need to streamline and overhaul the immigration process for sure, but why is encouraging unregulated immigration a good thing?

The American people are finally united against a common threat. Don’t derail this with their “divide and rule” race war.

This case is a great reminder of who the police really work for. If/when the shit hits the fan, you know whose side they’ll be on.

Millionaires, thousandaires, and hundredaires are all about a billion dollars away from being billionaires.

I’m pretty sure the phrase “kneecapped by crap executions” is in the USB working groups’s charter. It’s like one of their core guiding principles.
