No quote today, too pissed.
Apologies for the prolonged absence. The explanation is as follows:
It appears that after a preliminary announcement (this was in November) that the Trump administration was going to be clamping down on H-1B visas, my employer -- a tech-related corporation that depends heavily on importing whatever sacks of Indian, Chinese, Russian or Middle-Eastern shit they can in order to hold wages down -- decided to just skip the preliminaries and treat everyone as if they were escapees from the cesspits of Mumbai, Moscow, Hong Kong, or Cairo, and just make us ALL contract employees.
In other words, H-1B's without the need to apply for H-1B's.
In compensation, the same company gave me what they called "a generous raise" to make up for the loss of benefits and the additional 6% of Social Security taxes I will now have to pay myself, not to mention the loss of sick days and PTO. Mind you, I have not had a raise in three years and worked 1,200-plus hours of overtime the previous year.
It works out to exactly $3 per billable hour.
The same company, with a strait face, then tells me I cannot work extra billable hours (regardless of how necessary or business critical) without previously-written consent.
And then my boss called me last night, last minute, to cover a critical system change for the largest public transportation system in America.
I politely declined, explaining that I wasn't given written consent prior to the request to work the overtime.
This did not go over well.
Suffice it to say, I have been "hitting the pavement", as they say, to find a more-agreeable employer.
And then they wonder why people come to work with guns?
That's just one example of why we should be allowed to kill stupid people at the first sign of stupidity.
And then last night in the bar, I run into this vaguely female AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal) who is decrying that Trump's arrest (she called it 'kidnapping') of Nicolas Maduro -- to be prosecuted for drug trafficking and terrorist charges that he's already been indicted for -- was illegal and violated every decent precept of international relations.
Last week we were bad because we were blowing up drug boats instead of arresting and prosecuting people.
This week we're bad because we are arresting and prosecuting people.
Again. Kill her. This woman might breed some day, assuming anyone gets by the smell of patchouli oil, the backne, the nose ring, the overgrown armpits, lack of hygiene (Save the Earth!) and the rotten attitude.
I'm sure there's some black guy who will take one for the team, take her ugly ass and rob her blind while making her life Hell.
That's what usually happens to that type.
(I will now be accused of wanting to make Black Men suffer horribly).
But make up your mind which side of the street you want to be on.
If it wasn't already, it should be crystal clear that these people have no core principles (or brains) at all. They haven't any clear position on anything because they don't need to have one: they'll wait for Rachel Maddow to tell them what they should believe.
And again, this afternoon I'm reading the local newspaper which carried the story of a young child and her grandfather killed in an automobile accident. In the comments, I asked if anyone knew the immigration status of these people (the dead are obviously Hispanic) , and the unidentified 70 year old woman who killed them. Given prior experience, the alleged perpetrator of such a tragedy is most likely drawn from the Diversity class, and quite possibly illegal, too.
The first clue is they refuse to identify her. If she was a wealthy white woman, she'd be on WANTED posters already, and people in Kabul would know her name and have seen her photograph.
The accusations of racism, naturally, followed, mostly from people who believe it is their job to take offense on someone else's behalf. Not only that, because I had not made a fawning statement full of tears and sympathies, I must be some kind of diabolical Nazi who doesn't care that a 6 year old is dead.
There was a time, before everyone grew vaginas, when it went without saying that the death of a 6-year-oild is a terribly sad thing. Why does one need to express what we're all thinking publicly and why do you get grief from the dumbest fucks on Earth for NOT doing it?
Unless it's Charlie Kirk; then you can be as mean, obnoxious, racist and what have you as you'd like.
These people should be ground down into dog food.
