US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

These are businesses that can be located anywhere there is a talented workforce so it is best to draw that talented workforce of you want to keep that industry.

If you have the university knowledge centres, do you want the brain drain from those centres or do you want to grow on that investment in education?

In the resource industry, we go to where there are resources. The natural resources are where they are and are immobile. I've had work permits for several different countries all with varying degrees of difficult to obtain.

Is it any different than tax incentives to film industries or sports stadiums?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

“Trump’s first round of tax cuts for the rich added $2 Trillion to the debt. Extending them would add another $5 trillion. If “we can’t afford” universal healthcare or paid family leave or basic social safety nets, Trump’s handouts to the rich are why.” - Robert Reich

“When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they shall eat the rich” - Jean Jacques Rousseau

As I said, the H1B program is good policy but the execution is a fail. It should be used for elite talent only, where there are not enough locals that can fill those top jobs. Instead it's being used by billionaires to cut costs. Even Musk is now saying the program is broken.

The program is different than tax incentives. We don't need to lure people here; they already want to come and the H1B program is a selection mechanism.

So a quirk in immigration rules, where we are to turn a blind eye on, that is tailored for the elite of immigrants (getting a mulligan) but not for the “regular Joe” of immigrants - “Git yo ass back home, ya hear!” All this for the benefit of tech billionaires like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc.?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-years- ... they-fail/
What percentage of New Year's resolutions ultimately fail?

While nearly half of Americans make New Year's resolutions, only about 25% of people actually stay committed to their resolutions after just 30 days, according to Columbia University. And even fewer, less than 10%, accomplish their goals.
