I wonder if NBA has higher % of players (employees) who directly work with each other where the difference is pay can be substitutional than regular businesses.

You can. Most children are not going to end up on HN when they are older. The stories you read here about hacking system at 11 are outliers.

How many people use AI model routers to optimize cost? The poors will get genrics whether they like it or not? See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47236218

I think you are not understanding me. My contention is adjustments of status snafus isn't going to be much different than K1 approval rates in terms of how people are treated. It seems by the numbers, people are treated the same as it relates K1 whether they come from a "right skin color" country or not. Why is that going to be wildly different when it comes to minor issues?

The K1 approvel rate seems a decent proxy instead of 1 lawyer's opinion. Acceptance went up during V1 of the current administation. https://visagrader.com/visa-approvals-and-refusals/K1

Jamaica, not known for having lots of people with pale skin, has basicaly same approval rate as Germany. https://visagrader.com/visa-approvals-and-refusals/K1/jamaic...

Would be unlikely that the USCIS radically changed their approach when dealing with paperwork messups for populations if these different countries while apparently approving applications at basically the same exact rate.

You have it backwards. Police shooting a white person will get less attention than if they were not white.

Zero chance they will get life. Maybe they will get promoted. https://rollcall.com/2023/08/24/capitol-police-promotes-offi...

Most K1 applications are approved, most are female, most are not white. I doubt your case would have been any different had you not been a "'the right color' and a high-earning male".

Not just pressure. Stoping SNAP benefits from funding these sugar and oil peddlers is a good thing.

Pure partisan spite. The gov't not spending money on candy and sugary drinks is good. Just like when Michelle Obama pushed for better school lunches.

One of the dumbest, frustrating things during Obama's Administration was the partisan Republican attack on Michelle Obama's push for healthier school lunches.

Democrats should not reflexive be against this just because they don't like the current president or HHS secetry. Same thing with the restrictions on buying soda and junk food with SNAP.

The supermarket is filled with processed food. Black cat/White cat whatever catches the mouse. The push to eat real food is good. Embrace it even if you don't like people behind it.

Refreshing Musk is not mentioned here. He says some stupid stuff but he has made his money actually making inovative products that move the world forward. So dumb to hear him talked about as an oligarch.

Plenty of others making their fortune through rent seeking means that could be focused on.

“Lie” I suggest not just reading clickbait headlines. Read the last 2 or 3 paragraphs of story where the writers often bury the inconvenient facts. Such as charges that would invalidate a legal immigrant’s status.

Millions of people who are from other countries are living perfectly fine in the US and not hiding in fear.

Seems different form of friction? Scanning QR shows likely there but not quite proof (can just send screenshot of QR).

If you think the country is falling apart and people are going to flee, then yes stock market would fall if those things did actually happen.

Well they should stop worrying. They will be fine. I suggest they don't make MSNBC or similar as their only news outlet. (and yes same for people who only watch Fox news or Newsmax).

"..as the US falls apart."

If you actually believe this, you are welcome to short American stocks. See how that works out.

Article doesn't mention the pay once. No matter what you think about this issue, this is total trash journalism by the reporter Samuel Benson and Politico. No wonder people don't trust news sources.
