I had a dream job in Si Valley for 26 years, but I just couldn’t stand the libs any longer. They’d vote for any stupid tax increase that came along.
I finally got out just before they re-elected moonbeam to GOV.

Sounds accurate to me. The concept of economic patriotism was abandoned by both major parties and their corporate overlords long ago.

Don’t you people understand?

We NEED low wage foreign workers and foreign manufacturing because it’s good for the economy.

Or something.

50% of their US workers are H-1B working for 1/2 of US wages...and 80% of their manufacturing is overseas at 1/3 the cost.

People at the New York Times don't understand the concept of 'cheap labor'...

Maybe if the New York Times started hiring people from India and China to write their stuff an email it on deadline... and WORK FOR TEN BUCKS AN HOUR the Times 'reporters' would start to understand... Well, start to understand as they were being shown the door - replaced by cheap labor.

There is a reason Trump is often referred to as Braveheart. Trump is fearless. Trump is a Husband, Father and Grandfather who puts his life on the line to help our country. Trump has everything to live for. He knows he can help make our country great again. Trump is Modern Day Braveheart which is why he resonates with AMERICANS. Patriotic AMERICANS support Trump and are voting to put America first again.

We are America First. Similar to Reagan Democrats, 2016 election will be about Americans Frist and Trump Americans. Similar to Reagan Democrats. Trumps expanded voting block will become known as Trump Americans.

As I understand it, there are limitations to the H1B visa program that are abused yet not enforced. I wouldn't send all of them back, but I would strictly enforce the law and restrictions. We need to get American citizens employed, the residual cost of unemployment is killing our nation.

OTOH, we are having trouble filling some positions for cutting edge technologies. There is a problem there, but the abuse of the H1B system is well known and needs to be shut down.

Also I work with outsourced teams, let me tell you, it is exceptionally well paid babysitting and you end up getting caught up in details you should not have to with an experienced, competent worker. It has taken away from the mission, not contributed to it.

Here's to hoping you don't ever experience the negative side of it. Cheers...

The homosexuals at the New York Slimes are getting very nervous.

They can sense what’s coming. Their days are numbered.

The TECH industry has been on of the worst offenders when it has come to undermining american workers.

H1B is to skilled workers what illegals are to unskilled.

There is no need to ever hire an H1B to work as a software developer or system administrator etc... There are no shortages of Americans who can do this work... they just know that an H1B is not only cheaper to hire, but they are virtual slaves. The entire program is beyond salvageable and needs gone... Abuse of it is not the exception, it is the rule and has been for decades.

...uses tech products like Twitter but is not in awe of the people who built them... Mr. Trump is revealing Silicon Valley's vulnerability. In recent years, technology companies have extended their enormous reach while becoming ever wealthier and more powerful. Yet Mr. Trump has paid no political price for attacking them... "There is some surprise among tech executives -- or perhaps just naivete -- that the tech mainstream is now a target," said Garrett Johnson, an entrepreneur and one of the founders of the Lincoln Initiative, which connects right-of-center tech workers... Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech maverick... who was revealed last week as a secret backer of the wrestler Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker Media, is the [Donald]'s first, and so far only, prominent enlistee in Silicon Valley... Brian Krzanich, the chief executive of Intel, was planning to hold a fund-raiser for Mr. Trump on Thursday night at his Atherton, Calif., house that included "a full exchange of views," an Intel spokeswoman said on Tuesday. Hours later, Intel said the event was canceled.

Trump’s support in Silicon Valley is much like his support in NYC. It exists and it is significant, but due to the implacability of SJWs it is hidden.

One of the very very few things I like about Trump is that he pisses off Silicon Valley. They are as bad as Hollywood.

New iTunes scam is playing a sour note with Apple users
MGN Online

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)— We’re On Your Side Monday night with an alert about a scam for any of you with an iTunes account.

A 13 NEWS viewer said she received an official looking email from Microsoft Tech Support saying she owed close to $100 in iTunes music.

The email also had an order number 9-0-4-0-7-9-4-9.

The viewer said she called Apple and found out this is a new scam making the rounds around the country. The scammers are using the same fraudulent order number in every scam.

13 NEWS reached out to Apple Support and they told us the iTunes Store will never ask customers to provide personal information or sensitive account information, such as passwords or credit cards via email.
