Biden was really the only one that ran on a campaign of "I'm not Trump". Both Harris and Clinton had independent platforms that had nothing to do with saying they are not Trump. They weren't coming into the mess Trump had made so their policies didn't have to focus on reversing what he had done (which is essentially all Biden ran on and did). I don't think this argument is that strong because the 2 candidates that lost actually had a fair bit of reform in their platforms with much more fleshed out plans and details than anything Trump was offering to do.

I was also confused about what Microsoft has to do with women being seen in their homes 🤣

They legally cannot do that and have to pay market rate. And I can tell from personal experience that they are not giving lower offers to immigrants for jobs that qualify for H1B visas. Often the hiring companies end up paying a little more because there might be consulting companies in the middle that take a cut of the immigrant salaries. The consulting companies exist because they simplify hiring for employers and create more consistent employment for immigrants as their visa is generally tied to the employer. So the consulting company becomes a consistent employer across different projects at different companies. And for the actual hiring companies it creates a simpler workflow where they just tell the consulting company who they need and consulting company provides employees regardless of immigration status

It's not exactly what you're saying but the current system does make it more expensive to hire a visa holder because they have to have entire hiring and legal teams to ensure compliance and stuff.

Probably because parks and museums usually just close whenever this happens, so they're not working without pay. They're just on an indefinite suspension

This is crazy. I wonder what the context was for making up reviewers. Because it sounds like the paper would've maybe still been published without the fake reviewers

If you change your orientation, this could still be clockwise

I think the joke is if there were more autistic people in charge of those things, the accidents wouldn't happen
