How To Not Hire An American



The video is a little tedious, but perhaps I am a tad impatient with blather.

You can read all about it on the DAILY KOS.

Notes about the video:

A friend of mine is working a contract job at Intel. There are 20 cubicles on his aisle. There is one other Caucasian and one Chinese man. All the rest are Indians. I am not opposed to hiring foreigners, but I don't like people gaming the system, and that is certainly what it looks like. I am beginning to suspect Intel of being not a very good member of the community.

H/T to Andy.

Quiz

When life throws adversity at you, how do you determine whether it is:
A) A test of your fortitude and mental strength, which will result in reward;
B) A signal that you are pursuing the wrong path and should correct course?

Currently I can only do a sort of rudimentary cost-benefit, risk-reward analysis, and that is based on probablilities and expected outcomes which are fundementally unknowable. Unsatisfactory.

Submit your answers to enter a drawing for a free loaf of pumpernickel!

There is no future. There is only the now.

My college eduated son says the one true way is Monadology.
