There was the Warsaw uprising.

I think you meant "world market".

Companies are going to be offshoring as much as they can anyway. Bits fly across borders untaxed.

If there is some foreign talent that, for example, Meta thinks will benefit their bottom line by $1M/year, an extra $100K on top of a $250K benefits package is small change!

It's a human-tariff, but it is paid by wealthy corporations.

Maybe because nepotism leads to untalented people getting jobs?

I think the $100K fee is a good idea. If these H-1Bs are exceptional talent, paying $100k to employ one is truly a bargain.

Israeli is implementing a final solution to the Palestinian problem, and that solution is...genocide!

Some might argue it's not genocide but simply mass-murder. That's an awful lot of mass-murdering going on.

The Bret Stephens hasbara is that it's not a genocide because of how slow the killing is. Obviously the IDF could dig in machine guns in hidden trenches, lure starving Palestinians with the bait of food, and gun down thousands at once.

The problem with that approach is that such a strategy would risk rousing the conscience of the world. It's much safer to murder a few hundred a day and have slow starvation take thousands.

While pictures of starving Palestinian children are evocative of the Holocaust, or at least of the end of the Holocaust when cameras were allowed into liberated concentration camps, the world seems not to have a problem with Holocaust 2.0

Life expectancy of men *at birth*. Once you've made it to ten years old, those statistics don't apply any more.

In other words, the average lifespan of a 10-year old boy is not 65.8 additional years.

It's amazing that Ozzy Osbourne outlived Malcolm-Jamal Warner!

Never would have predicted that.

Wow! That's an impressive bag!

Don't keep us guessing -- what was the bag?

Boredom is highly overrated.

There's always vaping! Nicotine goodness without the combustion byproducts.
