    Or, we have too many people for the jobs that are hiring Americans. That pretty well explains both. Trump would be right to constrict access to H1B1 visas for foreign workers in th…

    Dont forget! https://apnews.com/9309128222ab4c4f92b0d0022e1ec133/In-shado... The Hoovervilles are back. Maybe we should just call them Trumpvilles now. When your business does not …

    How well does [this]( https://youtu.be/dkZ9zdSRQYM ) or [that]( https://youtu.be/tf09vULK7sw ) still apply? I'm still perfectly satisfied to remove anything like that from my syste…
