Yeah this really bums me out because a lot of the time I just use Gmail on my laptop as my phone. Do you know any other services that have this type of functionality?
Are you saying stock value increases only come from reducing employee benefits and compensation or from lowering the quality and safety of products and services? Seems like that is simply not true across the board. If a company sells say software they could easily grow revenue and profits without changing their product or reducing employee benefits and compensation. Their earnings would be higher and their stock would go up.
Not the op but connecting through SSH works great in my experience and is very straight forward in the UI. I feel like updates are pretty frequent as well. I also love that it saves all my queries unlike psequel.
The rich aren't stashing most of their money under a mattress. Gates, Bezos, etc are worth billions, but that wealth is almost all based off of the stock prices in the companies they own percentagess of.
Came across your site the other day. I was wondering is the 17% from their base salary before taxes? So they (if in say California) pay federal, state, & you guys off the top? Great idea either way!
US companies do withhold money from each paycheck, but this varies not just by how much you make, but also by how many dependents you have and a few other things [0]. The US also has default deductions, or a person can choose to itemize. These vary if you are "head of household", single, married. However then there's all kinds of other deductions and things to complicate your tax return such as retirement accounts, mortgages, kids, side income, student loan interest, interest earned and on and on. Would be great if it was easier. :)
Edit: People who are contractors / not employees have to remember to set aside a portion of their income that the employer would take out automatically for them.
I don't know the elevation gain on that run, but the 100mile track record is 11:28:03 so I would guess not much gain on the road record :) Interestingly the women's track record is slower than the road record.
No the numbers I listed were entries of each type in 2015. That doesn't include ones from previous years. You said immigration was controlled. The fact that roughly the same amount of legal immigrants came into the country as illegal immigrants in the year 2015 shows this is not accurate.
With your logic we might as well just tally up all the legal immigrants that entered the country and all the people that have been naturalized since the country was founded.
Apples and oranges? Let's do some math. Refugees in 2015: 69,920. Asylum in 2015: 26,124. That gives you a total of 1,147,075... yes still less then illegal immiration. Adding naturalization (730,259) gives you 1,877,334, except naturalization is irrelevant in this because it includes people born outside of the states to American citizens & includes people that still live outside of the country (think children of military or expats) or people who have been permanent resident (living in the US already) for 3 years. Please do tell me all the other subset of legal immigrants. Maybe you're including the whopping 85,000 H1B visas or other temporary work visas for NON-immigrants?
Hmmm, that's an interesting thought exercise. I wonder what would happen in FB/Google blocked access in states that voted Trump, or in the future for states of X candidate but not Y and the impact that would have. What happens if they're blocked for a day, week, month, etc? Interesting.
(since I don't post much, not sure why I can't respond to your last comment)
However... what?
> I could say the other way too. Immigration is not 100% uncontrolled, so it is controlled. However, what we do have is controlled immigration to a large degree and there are some uncontrolled immigration too. The ratio of controlled to uncontrolled is very high.
The original person was talking about people working for less than minimum wage (because they are illegal immigrants), so do they suppress wages for those jobs? Yes.
Parent comment also is only referring to low-wage jobs so I suppose the entire H1B thing is irrelevant to the discussion. Not sure what you're looking for... you asked for a source - seems clear that yes, wages for some groups are "artificially suppressed" by "uncontrolled immigration". Is immigration uncontrolled? Yes immigration is not 100% controlled, hence illegal immigrants are a thing. I suppose you could argue that wages are suppressed "naturally" because of uncontrolled immigration if you want to argue about semantics in order to ignore the research that does show wages are suppressed.
Edit: I should clarify - this isn't the only way to immigrate / cover all use cases, etc etc - just that in this & my first comment there does seem to be some wage suppression occurring in some forms related to various immigration.
Tl;Dr - wages for lower class/lower educated minorities are hurt, but employers gain an advantage (lower labor costs). There's also a paper by professor in econ from Cornell about African Americans suffering the most from it, but my phone won't link to the PDF.
Outside of academia you just have to go to your local home depot to see how much cheaper you can get someone to come work for you for the day, or go to any massage shop charging $25 / hour instead of $60+ while employing illegal immigrants.
