Years ago I had a little token that printed auth codes. They were everywhere. I had it on my keychain. I recall thinking it was nifty.

Lots of Americans live on that right now. It would go further in India.

It sounds like you object to the exploitation rather than to the H1-B.

Nothing. American workers will rarely consider offshoring themselves. Which is a shame.

Maybe we should let people work wherever they want?

The tech companies will just offshore the jobs they’d otherwise use for visas. India is a cool place. Lots of Americans would do well to live and work there. They’d probably even be a bit happier. But they can’t because of visas.

For most of human history, you were free to decamp to greener pastures. Cultural chauvinism still existed and thrived in this more porous world. Why do we accept limitations on our freedom of movement?

When I was in my 20s, I was all in on Compiz. Whatever happened to it?

Under the Rome Statute that set up the international criminal court, apartheid is defined as a crime where:

>inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them".

Netanyahu's approach to the Palestinians likely fits into this definition.

That decade of lawyer fees is much more than $2m.
